    Hello,

    I have a new venture I would like to get thoughts on. I would like honest opinions, so if you honestly don't think it's going to work, please let me know so I don't end up wasting my time and money for nothing! :p

    I would like to sell colorful pop-up greeting cards for various occasions, and cultural festivals around the world, that occur throughout the year.

    Here are some pictures of an example card (fairly similar to the type of cards I am planning to sell (online):


    Front View:

    Inside view upright:

    That flower you see is artificial, so you can "feel" it.

    Questions:
    Would you be interested in purchasing/getting more information on these types of cards?
    How much are you willing to pay? (shipping included AND not included)
    Have you ever bought greeting cards online?
    Would you ever consider buying greeting cards online provided you had the opportunity?
    Any other thoughts on this venture?

    Let me know what you think, THANK YOU! :)

    These greeting cards are pretty cheap . So , if you sell them with the shipment fees ,that would make it pretty expensive.

    Thanks for replying. Did you have a price in mind? I wouldn't go over $4 per card (shipping included)

    At this price, very difficult to sell these cards ( which are unbranded) in most part of the world . What I feel you should first launch a pilot project locally and see if you get a good response .Come up with some local ads etc. That way you can work your logistics well and if you smell success you can replicate it in atleast advanced countries .

    It works better in children books.... But the whole pop greetings cards seems fairly interesting. However I will not pay more than $7 for it.
