Yeah, I know, this could have gone in the Admin Forum, but I figured it was more likely to be seen here.

I'm thinking of buying some of the Dots Letterhead and Envelopes from Merrill, so they'll stand out in the stack of mail when I send PYB info. The personalized stationery is abour $50 more than the non-personalized. Does anyone use either, and do you think it's worth it to pay so much more for the personalized, instead of just printing the contact info yourself?

TIA-
 
You know, you could personalize it yourself. Just make a templete on Word that you add your letters to. Make the personalization stand out w/different font and bold. It would save you $$
 
I think it is going to be the pattern that sticks out, not the personalization. Just my 2 cents :)

Yep, pretty much what I was thinking, too. Easy to personalize it (the non-personalized does have the logo, as well), and save the money.

Thanks for the advice. New I'd get some, but didn't think it would be so fast, so late!
 
I have the non-personalized of the old style (with the products) and I just got a pack of the dots, non-personalized. I like that I can control what personalization goes on it, as well as keep it a little more current. Merrill has changed the products on the letterhead since I bought mine, but I still had some left. I can't imagine the size of the stack I'd still have if I had gotten the personalized version, which comes in a bigger pack.
