The Road from Small Business to Big Business

Vista Print, a graphic design service for small businesses and consumers, announced that it has reached its 6 millionth customer marker. The website launched in 2000 and has been seeing close to 100,000 new customers per month. Recently it has began trading in the stock market, and is estimated to be worth approximately $200 million. After its 2000 launch the company has grown steadily in the past five years, seeing more and more customers every month. They have seen many company successes this fall. Vista Print completed a $138 million initial public offering on September 29th with net proceeds of $61.4 million to the Company and on October 25th announced our 21st consecutive quarter of revenue growth.
