Greeting Cards Question On Behalf Of Customer Who Wants To Buy A Ten Pack

NO! Only of the same image

Darn! Ok, thank you Jessica! Thats twice today you helped me, thank you so much!

We have been asking for mixed cards forever!

Gregory I asked for this in the weekly suggestions last week or the week before. You could put it in this week as a suggestion? You never know...

Dorothy, Abbie's very first suggestions thread 4 years ago stated in her opening paragraph that assorted boxes of cards would be her top priority....so if she can't get it moving, no one can!

I am very hopeful this IS on the list of probable happenings as I am interested i them also, but something always comes up first

I have had three people in the past week or so request that very thing.

And here's the argument against them: the walls of a mosaic of images is the thing to do these days, and my matted 5x7s sell well at shows because of this.
The cards here are 5x7 and fit the same purpose - people often will mat and frame them, they are after all only an inch smaller than your smallest print and should be priced accordingly. If you go to a mixed box, they can get a box of 10 for a couple bucks a piece or whatever your lower markup is on that. I'd be out of business fast if I sold 10 5x7s for $20 profit, when I could have made $150 on those same 5x7s selling them individually.

If the cards were more of a notecard size... 4.5x5 or so then I could see doing mixed lots.

Good point!

How much should you charge a single card, I notice i was charging at a lower price for single card.

I charge 15 retail on here, so 11.50 markup. That lines up with the 25 I charge for a matted 5x7.

Randy there is an argument that as the single card is not so different in size from the smallest print size they should be priced similarly - Heather's post mentions that. I bought some of my cards with the intention of framing them but of course there is no white surround - with a print you get a white surround so when you frame them they look good. My cards looked like cards in a frame (particularly those with a background colour to make up the rectangular space) and depending on the frame you lost bits of the image. So, for me, the cards are cards and the prints are prints. The price of cards then comes down to how much you would be prepared to pay for one if you bought it? I asked a lot of people the maximum they would be prepared to pay for an 'art card' and priced mine accordingly. But that is just the way I did it and my own views.

It makes sense Dorthy and some might have the card matted and framed. Never thought that way and I will change the price.
And thank you JC.

I don't like the idea of a mixed package of ten for the reasons stated above, you'd basically be giving them a package of ten small prints for very cheap, (at least in my case). However, if a mixed pack was a separate product that we could put a different markup on I'd go for that.

I actually removed all prices from "Boxed" sets and only offer single cards now and raised prices on them. After nearly 5 years here, I've only sold one box set, and they were returned due to being to dark.

I agree with David. Often at the farmers market people would confess that they never sent the card to anyone because they had it framed. In one case a print sold because they saw the framed card at a friends house. On my website I offer my Xmas cards as box sets. That works.
