How do I get a greeting card business started? -

The first thing you need to do is pay for a copyright of all your designs from the Library of Congress, after you obtain that, you need to send 12 samples of your work to the top card companies; Hallmark, American Greetings and don t forget the smaller company within Hallmark, Shoebox Greetings. Might be better for you to get started with a known company until you have a following, then you can start your own private company. You can also send copies of your designs to yourself via certified mail from the post office, that s called a poor man s copyright and put it in a safe place and most important, do NOT open it, that way, if anyone should try to copy your designs, you have your original proof.http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8 ��
