Greeting Card Small Business Tips

This weeks small business tips for your handmade greeting cards are regarding paper.

When building a small business it is important that your products are as professionally looking as possible. To give your cards a really professional look we recommend that you bring your card stock to your local printer and have all your paper professionally scored. Scoring your cards by hand can look a little sloppy and also unnecessarily waste good paper. We also suggest getting a cutting board to make clean,straight cuts. The detail cuts can always be done with scissors later. Don't worry, your cards will still have that handmade look and feel because all of your artwork is applied by hand. We hope you will appreciate the time saved and the added professionalism these tips will provide for your small business.

As far as what type of paper to use, that all depends on your individual artistic needs and whatever message you are trying to send. Contact as many companies as you can and often times they will send you free samples, which are a great boost to any small business.
