Have you thought about setting up a stall at craft fairs?
Im sure some of the ladies on here will have a few suggestions in that area. |

I had a couple of friends that used to take some to work with them. I used to sell a few this way. Barbara x

Hi Pat I don't sell my cards as I only do them for friends and family but I know a few of the Sheenies put them at their hairdressers or little local
shops. Sorry I'm not much help!
luv Sheila xx |

My sister takes them into work with her and sells a fair few - on the other hand I sell none at my work! My mum and sis buy a lot for themselves as well.
I've tried craft fairs but I've found people are just rude and say they could do it themselves for half the price
 Charities are always grateful for
cards I believe although I haven't done this yet, I've got plenty to give

I have exactly the same problem, got a shoe box full of general and another 40 xmas cards. Where i live they will have them if i give them away, not prepared
to buy. I try and make them look as professional as i can with inserts and display bags as well.
Hope you have better results. Helen |

I also live in a village,no shops, but the flower shop in a neighbouring village sells my cards. It had also been suggested that you could approach
hairdressers , maybe a village store would sell some for you. I dont believe craft fairs are awfully successful, from reading other posts, My hubby's firm
have also approached me, so I have a dispaly with them........... look around your own circle of contacts. you might find some help there. Hugs Terrie x
Afterthought............. how about a cofee morning, or evening do. either at your home or maybe a good freind would host. you could set up a display, and also demo if you wanted ? |

carft fairs can be expencive what about table tops indoor boot sales local council events i do all theses i did do shops sale or return that way they dont
loose anythink but i got fed up with doing shops as it takes the fun out of making cards for me when you have to do it hope this helps but his is how i sell
and most of my sales are to family friends and friends of friends if you have friends that work maybe for a couple of free cards they would take them in to
work for you
