Why cloudstreet use Vistaprint

I love this company (with all their foibles) but recently had an issue with them.

Here's how it was resolved.


My message:

Hi I've been a regular user of Vistaprint for a few years now. I love your company and the services you provide. But....

I've just read that Vistaprint is one of the few companies still advertising on Glenn Beck's show on the Fox Network in the US. That your company would make this choice makes me wonder about what other poor business practices you may be pursuing.

I hope that you reconsider this placement of advertising material. Biased commentary, with an ignorance or avoidance of fact-based reporting is an anathema to good business practice. Please re-assure me that these ads are only a short-term arrangement and will end soon.

I would like to continue my relationship with Vistaprint, but will find this difficult if you maintain this position.

I would appreciate your advice in this regard.

Yours faithfully

John Thompson
