I dont have the time to get to craft fairs or car boot sales and would like to sell them in little specialist shops if possible. Whats the best way to go about this?
Thanks

networking - this will be the key to your success! and don't be afraid of doing it i know it can seem daunting. all it really means is that you need to tell people about what you're doing, and they'll tell others and recommend you. approach a few of the shopkeepers you mentioned to see if they are interested at all, and if they're not they could point you in the right direction.
you could also consider selling them by mail order, or setting up a simple website.
and an eBay shop may also be an option... hope this has given you something to think about

Buy selophane pockets from a craft shop to match the size of your cards to put them in. Take them to post offices, newsagents and local small bookshops to show them. If they're impressed I'm sure they'll sell them for you if you offer to give them a cut of the takings. These places often sell handmade cards made by local people. I make cards and our friends are newsagents and said they'd sell them for me but I've let it slip a bit since and seem to send all the ones I make to friends and family! There always seems to be an occasion around the corner.

do u have a small mail store that does mail and ups ,etc. the one near me also has nick nacks and cards and whatnots for sale and u can rent a shelf to sell ur things. the point i'm making is if u have one of these types of store, go there and see if they'll buy them from u or let u sell them there. if u have a store in mind where u r , just go there and talk to them. good luck

My friend went round local small shops and indoor market stalls asking if any where prepared to sell them. I know one place did, she gave them so many cards and any they sold they took a small commission that they had previously agreed on.

It relies upon on how a lot you may produce. the finest way is the register contained in the craft marketplace, because maximum ppl favor to purchase the handcrafted stuff. and also you may get little sales area, to promote the belongings you revamped a era of time. in case you dont' produce a lot, then you may communicate over with shops which carry the handcrafted, craft products for community ppl. to make sure in the journey that they are prepared to consign with your stuff.

literally go into the specialist shops and ask!!!
Also, try sending them to the big card producers like Birthdays and Hallmark

Ebay, you will sell loads at this time of year, you could start your own ebay shop and cut out the middleman.

its well worth trying places such as hairdressers and salons as people can browse through your cards whilst waiting for there treatments! if that takes off then try building your own website or sell on ebay!
