What have you Sold Lately? - POST IT!
Jun 4^th, 2009, 9:26am

OK, up to 1000 cards are being sold each day, so post one of your recently sold cards so we can all rejoice!

Please tell us if it was an older card or a newer card, and share a story too if you have one!

I'll start with an older card that sold well in May (2 medium-sized orders from 2 different shoppers). I was experimenting with colorizing B/W pics earlier this year. Glad to see one of these designs sell finally:

Red seems to attract people. Some of my best-selling cards are of red birds. This one has sold a few times, including last week. http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/community/viewdetails.asp?pid=404564&pag e=1

Hard to choose, but this particular one is the day we purchased the new camera and went to the beutiful medieval town of walkworth, wonderful day out and the refelction's on the water were beautiful.

So as it's the first we took it has to be this: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/shopping/zoom.asp?pid=429176&w=1

Red looks like the color, especially on those 2 cards, perhaps I should have done this in red instead of gold.

I worked a long time on the texture and was pleased with the result, I think it looks like you could feel the texture with your fingers.

Tom, we may hit bursts of 1000 cards but we seem to have settled at about 500 cards on the average. (it is difficult to tell for sure because those in 2 categories are counted twice) Still a nice number but I am looking forward to the 1000 a day average and beyond. There will be lots of smiles to go around.

Ohhh I like this idea!

Here is one that I've sold a few times. Wasn't sure which sub categories to place this General Father's Day card in
so one of the ones I went with was for Step Dad. I'm glad I did now!

Awesome cards everyone!

Question Tom...how do you know how many cards are selling each day? I'm sure there must be a place
for me to look to see that but can't think of it at the moment.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Having seen most of these cards go by on the just sold it's really nice to hear some back story on them.

I guess I would have to choose this one of mine that sold in early May, it sold in just a week of going up and was my first bulk order. Shocked

Most of my cards are designed around a flower photo, but this was simply the result of playing in Photoshop, not sure how I did it, I am no expert just like to play.

Anyway I liked the background and the card evolved from there.

Thanks for starting this Tom!

Itaya,

you can get an idea of the number of cards sold by looking at the top selling categories under your reports and analysis section.

It lists all the cards sold in the last 30 days.

The numbers are a little off because of the double count for those cards in two categories, but it can give you some sense of where we are.

Inevitable wedding cards (not that I'm complaining!) I probably sell 100 to 1 of other cards. So I'm always excited when I sell something different. I sold this Otter card my sister took down at the Corpus Christi Aquarium. I think he's pretty cute.
