4 Ways to Sell Greetings Cards for Income

You can sell greetings cards for income and work at home in the hours you choose. And the beauty of this is that there are many ways you can sell cards online and offline, depending on your preference.  If you think how much you spend each year on greetings cards – then multiply that by the number of people you know, or the number of people you can reach, you can see how this can be a great work at home income. 

There’s something magical about sending and receiving a personalised, or special, card that can’t be beaten.  It shows the recipient that the sender really cares and made the effort!

Below are four ways to sell greetings cards for income – all are achievable by you, whether you live on a small island or in the middle of a bustling city.  From social butterflies, to agoraphobics, you can mix and match this business opportunity to fit your situation:

1. Hook Up With a Brand Name: There are a number of party plan greetings card companies, Phoenix Trading is probably the most well-known greetings card company. With Phoenix Trading you simply sell from their range of great greetings cards and make money with every sale. You can sell them through a website they provide to you, or face to face at markets/fairs, you can organise parties and take the party plan approach, or you can simply network among your friends and contacts if you are within a large community. Phoenix Trading is very popular with mums, who are tapped into a large network of other mums – all of these requiring greetings cards throughout the year. With Phoenix Trading you effectively have a trade account and can buy as little, or as much, as you like – as and when you like, with no sales targets. This also makes them a popular charity fundraising route for organisations raising cash occasionally, or seasonally.
2. Let Your Creativity Fly:  If you don’t want to be tied into one company though, if you want to let your own creativity fly, then why not make and sell your own greetings cards. If you go down this route you can sell locally, in shops perhaps, or become a regular feature at your local marketplace. If you are making your own cards then you have control over your range and stock – and can create personalised cards for people, rather than having to tell them if it’s not on the table they can’t have it!
3. Buy Wholesale, Sell Direct: If you’re somewhere in the middle – and you want to build up a greetings cards business, then ebay is a great resource for buying wholesale greetings cards, setting your own price and building your own business without spending any time on the creative side of things.
4. Design and Sell, Don’t Make:  If your skills lie in the design, but you don’t have the time, patience or space, for making greetings cards, then why not simply design the cards and employ homeworkers on a piece rate to produce them for you.  People are desperate for work at home assembly work and you could have your card-making outsourced to willing homeworkers.  All you then do is do the designing and selling – leaving the hard graft to your outsource team.

Of course, you can mix and match all of the above to sell greetings cards to make money!  I hope this has given you some ideas about real work at home that you can do.

If nothing else, maybe it’s given you some great ideas in saving money by making your own greetings cards.
