Promotion and advertising can be a heavy expense, especially for a new business that wants to make itself known in a community. A home-based business, however, more often than not, has a very limited budget when it comes to advertising. The home business owner needs to make the public aware of his or her product or service at the lowest possible cost.

There are many ways. A pet breeder in a large city was struggling for several years-until he came up with a novel idea. He started giving away customized “birth certificates” for the pets he sold. Almost immediately, his sales rose more than 10 percent.

The owner of a new home cleaning service was trying to attract clients. She couldn’t afford much advertising, so she began offering “home cleaning seminars” to civic groups. After two months of seminars, she was swamped with inquiries and clients.

Promotion often makes the crucial difference between business success and failure. Customers or clients must know about a business or product line before they’ll buy and they must have a reason to buy.

If you are trying to promote your business now, you can move in one of two directions: 1) You can take the conventional route to promotion and mount an elaborate media campaign, spending a considerable amount of money or 2) You can let your creative juices flow and mount a low-cost promotion effort, using a potpourri of attention-getting gimmicks to bring your message to the buying public.

Here at Greeting Card Helper you’ll get some ideas on how this simple act of sending cards increase your profile in the promotion of your business  by being seen as someone who cares.We call it Appreciation Marketing!

How much do gift shops pay for greeting cards at wholesale?

My daughter (who is 8yrs) wants to design her own greeting cards and I will get them printed. How much can I expect gift stores to pay at wholesale. I’d like RRP to be $4.95 / $5.50 / $5.95 I don’t want to target newsagencies.

“Think about price, retailer will expect to make at least 100% mark up on your cards.”

Above is from GCA website. They are in the UK.
