Barcelona, Spain (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- VistaPrint España, S.L., an affiliate of VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT), the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, today announced that its Spanish site, www.VistaPrint.es, was named one of "The Most Popular Web Sites of 2006" in the shopping category by European online research agency MetrixLab - in cooperation with Nielsen/Netratings. In 2005, VistaPrint was awarded the "Best Website of the Year Award" in this contest, which is Spain's most important people's choice award for websites.
"This is an important recognition for VistaPrint as a whole and especially for the Spanish team," said Idaira Machargo, director of e-commerce for VistaPrint España. "We are excited and grateful to see such a high level of support from our customers. We look forward to continuing to service our customers in Spain and throughout Europe with the high-quality, low-cost products they have come to depend on."
Winners can be viewed at www.lamejorpaginaweb.com. The "Most Popular Websites of 2006" are chosen by the public but created by Metrixlab and endorsed by Nielsen/Netratings and several local mass media partners - including TechCrunch, Markarina, Comunitàzione, and Under the Line. This year, 284 websites were nominated in over 20 consumer categories. More than 350,000 votes were cast by 275,000 voters between October 9 and December 1, 2006.
VistaPrint has 17 web sites and www.VistaPrint.es was launched to service the market in Spain more than two years ago. Europe is VistaPrint's fastest growing geographic market. To help focus more on this market, VistaPrint recently decided to expand its European presence with a European marketing office in Barcelona. VistaPrint chose Barcelona for the strong local talent pool, strong presence of multi-national corporations and quality of life that the company believes will enable recruitment from across the continent.
Unlike costly traditional printing techniques which produce custom printed orders one at a time, VistaPrint employs patented technologies to aggregate custom orders from around the globe and to print them in groups at automated production facilities. These technologies enable VistaPrint to deliver large volumes of high-quality, customized orders for products such as business cards, post cards, announcements and birthday party invitations simultaneously--and for a fraction of the cost of traditional short-run graphic designers and printers.
