Any greeting card lines that do well in your shop?
Curly Girl Studio I do well with and Mina Lee everyone giggles and reads all of the cards.
I have some local artist cards that do not move.

Ant favorites in your shop?

We sell a LOT of Sunrise Greetings. People come in just to buy the cards, especially birthday and sympathy.

Those that sell cards are you using the metal racks?

Those that sell cards are you using the metal racks?

Sometimes....We actually use a mixture of different displays.

Some full sized white painted metal racks, some smaller table top versions which will typically have 8-12 pockets maximum.

We also use some of the vendor supplied wooden and acrylic racks, and a few times, we'll place them in baskets.

When you have a small shop, having one or two rotating stands can free up valuable wallspace. It also adds an extra dimension or feature to the shop. My frameshop is located in a rural area and I tend to sell cards will rural scenes by artist Julie Greig sold thru the publisher Image Vault.

She depicts ladies or men riding on a horse, vast vistas of hilly landscape with sheep, etc.

I've been selling note cards (blank inside) from a local artist Jen Niles.
You can see them here http://www.jennilesart.com/

I think I'm the only one selling them right now, but whe'd be happy to talk to others.
She sells a local fairs and such, but I do well with them.

It is very unclear from her web site, but all of the cat pictures you see I sell as notecards.

It's a riot to see a customer grab a card and say "oh, that looks just like Fluffy (or Lilly, or Tiger, or whatever)" and they can't get their $3 out of their pocket fast enough. (I sell them $3 each or $15 for a box of 8)

If there son. daughter, cousin, best friend has a cat, then there's usually a card for them too. It's really funny.

I have one slat wall turn-able display and some on a table in from of the POS station.
