bemused nubie
Mar 24th, 2010, 8:55am
 
greetings to all other digital echos.Currently I have 112 images on my storefront. The majority of them are blank. I recently read a blog indicating that in general very few blank cards sell. My on experience confims this so far. My intent behind putting my cards on the sight is two fold. To make small prints of my work available to current clients and to attract new buyers. Please check out my store at:www.greetingcarduniverse.com/neoglyphstories.If you have suggestions about how I can target art buyers please post a blog. Thank you and may we all prosper.

Hi
Firstly welcome, you have some really lovely cards.
In my experience cards that are blank inside and have no front text do sell, I have sold plenty so feel it`s quite justified in making and keeping them in my store. Each and every card I make I also upload the blank version, so if anyone likes a particular card but the category is wrong, they can modify the blank one. They also make useful note cards to write short letters in. Sales may be pretty slow but if they are not in your store they will never sell!
Hope that helps
Karen

I like that your cards are "blank". I think that text on the front would take away the artistry of the image. I would definitely encourage your current clients to visit your store to purchase affordable pieces of your art.
Good luck!

I agree with Rene, you don't need text on the front, your artwork is instantly eye-catching enough.

I think your cards are "blank" type of cards.  They are the pretty picture cards that people could frame after the card is received.  If that makes sense.  Hopefully you understand what I'm rambling about...lol....I am new on here too and I'm just waiting for that first sale...other then me buying them...I know I just started but I guess I'm being over anxious.  I also still have a lot of cards pending.  I would love for people to give me any ideas that I could do to improve as well...
