My Address Labels Amazed the State Fair!

As a lover of all things efficient, my quest is never-ending to find new efficiencies that make life easier for people around the globe. Work systems and home systems are one thing, but what about fun systems? Is there a way to make recreational activities, such as the state fair or county fair, less work and more play? You bet!

State fairs are filled with tons of wonderful drawings, sign-ups and giveaways. With the opportunity to win free things comes the task of writing your name and address over and over again on all those signup sheets. Before you start imagining the writer’s cramp and wasted time, rest assured that there is a way to automate entry sign ups!

Use preprinted address labels to sign up for drawings and other entries!

Anything that requires your name and address can be stickered instead of written with a preprinted return address label. I went from booth to booth at our state fair last week whipping out my address labels. The booth workers and the other fair-goers were amazed! I kept hearing, “What a great idea” and “That’s amazing!” and “Why didn’t I think of that?” The time I saved on entry forms left more time for going on rides!

I’ve had great success using VistaPrint for many home management products.  They frequently run sales for large discounts and free shipping. Vista Print’s discount codes are abundant online, so never pay full price - Google for coupon codes first!

Carry address labels with you in your purse, wallet, car, or baby bag to automate filling out routine information. You never know when they’ll come in handy!
