Oooooo, they're lovely Trace! Do you do boxes of them- I mean like 20 or so different ones in say 5 or more designs?

we did boxes of them last year but only boxes of 5 , never thought of doing bigger boxes but would have no problem doing them , we bought a box maker last year and I love it lol
ok then a bit of market research as we're not good at pricing lol
how much would anyone pay for a box of 20 of this type of card ??

Hmmmm, well I'm aware you can buy Christmas cards really cheap now but they also look cheap too- really cheap and nasty flimsy card and printed pictures etc. I bought a really gorgeous set of handmade ones from Sainsbury's last year. I'll try to photograph one of I get the chance Trace but I think I paid about £3.99 for 5 of them in a box!

well that ties in with the price thats been in my head , we were thinking £15 for a box of 20 plus postage
got our first order yesterday for christmas cards - one of our regulars wants 23 cards !! we're going to offer free postage on any christmas orders placed before the end of October to encourage people to get there orders in early as it really helps us out
i've also set myself a challenge to have our christmas ready for the end of november - presents wrapped , cards written , shopping done etc etc as I work in a shop I don't get much time off and with the cards etc december gets a bit stressful lol

That sounds like a really good price Tracey and I'll defo be ordering some myself! Best get organised this year myself too as it's hopefully going to be a busy one so don't want to leave things to the last minute like I usually do lol!

I know you need to plan ahead, but do you need to give me (and my bank manager) a heart attack by wishing us a Merry Christmas in Augaust :)

Cute cards by the way, home made looks much better than mass produced shop bought cards. (same with most things really)

Good Luck.
