This is the way to go.  tell the shop owners u will put ur cards in their shelves.  they dont have to pay u upfront just yet.  u colect after a week.. bec u r a new business owner, u want to check on how ur cards are doing in each of the shops u placed them.  so u will know where exactly they sell best.  so its good to make a weekly store visit to the shops selling ur cards.\n\nwhen u make that weekly visit, thats when u collect.  based on inventory.  u gave shop owner 10 cards, u come back and there are 3 left, then that means 7 were sold.  thats what he/she pay u.  the rest stays in the shelf, u add new cards in... \n\nmust work....  bec shop owners dont want to run the risk of buying ur cards for added inventory.  so as a starter, u shoulder the risk urself.

Try going to a printing company.  Or a place where they make business cards & ink stampers.

Check out an arts and crafts store, or if you have a store that sells strictly cards, wrapping paper, not necessarily hallmark, i'm thinking more privately owned paper supply stores.

You should get as many business cards made AS POSSIBLE.\n\n And put them out wherever you can! Like on bulletin boards, etc.\n\n Another thing is get your friends to mention your business in coversations [AKA "namedropping"]. You need to be highly visible and have your bussiness' name out there. \n\n Got a company logo? Put it on a tote bag and carry that around with you. Or make stationary with it, and use that for notes and whatnot.\n\nIf I think of some more ideas, I'll add them!\n\n[j]

It's all about supply and demand.  Go around to as many card stores that you can.  One of the owners might have his eye on something you have, he might have been trying to find it for quite some time.  Conversaly, all the shops might have what you got and will try to low ball you.  I know you said besides ebay, but that truly is the best way to go.

You did it so why can't they also try and improve their lot in live. Just because you have become more successful is not any reason for people to try and take advantage of you financially.  With Christmas coming I imagine your going to hear all kinds of sob stories.  How did they survive while you were working your arse off to get your business to where it is today?  Be as honest with them as you can and let them know that your not a ATM and would appreciate if they all would cease asking you for help financially.  Congratulations on your business becoming successful and all the hard work you have put into it.  Bravo!!!

Absolutely close or cancel any un needed cards. If not for security reasons alone. Banks look at how much credit you have"open" and available to you. They compare this to your income to get a ratio. A debt to Load ratio. So if you have 5 cards out. that's realistically 3 too many.You need to keep a "balance" between having some credit cards and too much debt. You need a few cards open and active to satisfy the companies that you are worthy of more credit but not too much to have them think that their acct is the one that you will default on.

16 in a major card like Visa, Mastercard, etc. Many store cards have less.

Over 2 billion cards were sold last year in the UK, at the rate of over 5,000 cards per minute. \n\nthat's a lot of greeting cards.

more than likely it is a matter of time, i would keep enough money on the card for what ever the amount was\n\n they will want their money eventually, \n\nthe reason they wait is because the credit card companies charge them eigther a % of the sales, or they charge per transaction, and they are better off turning them in all at once, than one at a time

I'm sorry but I think the best way to know for sure your closings are processed properly, it would be best to take the painstaking time to call each of the cards numbers and void those accounts.  Either that or call Experian to see what they can do to help.

Retail store workers stock the cards. The greeting card companies just have the order delivered to the store.

That would probably fall in the Greeting Card catagory. Check out what would be needed to do that. \n     I'm sure it would include the appropriate printing materials and equipment, as well as distribution information. It is a very niche market, but if you work hard at it, you could probably make a go of it.

Bring a card, that should be enough.
