Home Based Greeting Card Business - Why Start One?

A basic need that people strive to fill in their lives is the desire to be appreciated.
It might seem like an easy and simple thing to accomplish, but showing appreciation for others can have a profound and lasting impact on your relationship with them.
A good way to accomplish this is to send a greeting card.
There's nothing like the feeling of finding an unexpected card in the mailbox.
We always open that piece of mail first.
Did you ever wonder why that is? "The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
" ~ William James Amazingly, it also makes us feel good to send out a heart-felt card to someone.
Do yourself a favor - send someone a greeting card and make their day, and yours! You don't need a reason, or a special occasion.
The act of letting someone know that you appreciate them will do wonders for both of you.
Usually, we all have a tough time finding (or making) time to buy, write, stamp and mail the card.
This tendency turns a simple and easy way to show our appreciation into a difficult task that hardly ever gets done.
Thus, the "Happy Belated Birthday" card is a common purchase.
Because of this universal human difficulty, many business owners, sales people and "card senders" rejoice when they find something that will help them send the cards they want to be sending out.
We all send cards for thank you's, birthdays, weddings, holidays, anniversaries, and get well wishes.
An important thing to realize is that we can all find lots of less obvious occasions where sending a greeting card can dramatically improve our relationship with someone who is important to us or is important to our business.
Some ideas include a thank you from a salesperson to a prospect after the sales presentation, a thank you from a realtor to an open house attendee, a thank you from a job applicant to the interviewer,and an unexpected, heart-felt note of love or encouragement from one friend or family member to another.
Thanks to new technology, there is a new online service that allows us to create a card with just a few clicks of a mouse.
This is a REAL, physical greeting card that gets printed, stuffed in an envelope, stamped with a real stamp and put in the mail for us.
The amazing part is that it's cheaper than buying and sending a store bought card, even though the cards are high quality with a glossy-coated finish.
If you like to take photos, you can even put your own digital pictures on the front cover or inside the cards.
So many great reasons to start a home based greeting card business.
