Selling to Retail Stores
Oct 19^th, 2009, 2:40am

Hello, fellow artists!

Since the subject has come up on numerous occasions in the Forum, I've created a new Squidoo lens (basically, a one-page website) about selling your GCU cards to retail stores.

http://www.squidoo.com/sellcardsretail

Check it out! If you have anything to add or you think I missed something, just let me know (cfkaatje AT home.nl). I may create an entirely separate lens about selling your cards at fairs and markets.

Also, if you haven't already, I have two other lenses related specifically to GCU - how to design cards with commercial appeal, and how to make more sales. These lenses have top tips for you.

Thanks for the advice, Corrie,
Keep those lenses coming. I have seen the older lenses, but the new one was very helpful as well.

I started a lens a few months ago, but was having trouble figuring out how to make it look nice with borders and pictures, etc. like you have. I have many ideas and tips and techniques for designing online at mainly Zazzle, but GCU also. I got fed up and wanted to find a book on how to design at Squidoo.

Anyway, keep up your beautiful work,
