When I do craft fairs, I sell them for $2 each or 6 for $10. They sell pretty well at that pricing. I've done larger orders before, and if they are all the same design, without a lot of embellishing, I sell them for $1 each.

I keep a basket of cards I've made beside my desk at work. If someone wants a card on short notice, they come see me. I charge $2.50 each. If they buy 10 cards, it's $20.00.
I do craft fairs all year long...I use basket to display my cards on the table. I also have a card rack as a display. I sell my cards for $1.75- $3.00 depending on the embellishment...If they but 10 of the $1.75 cards they are $15.00-and if they buy 10 of the $3.00 cards they are $25.00..I have been doing this for years now and every show I do, I have never been disappointed yet...I sale a lot of cards in a year..It works for me..
If you have any more questions you can email me at
Thanks for the clear bag resources! I also sold cards from my desk when I used to work for a large Insurance Company. I was able to charge $2 each and sold tons! I quit and haven't found an outlet to sell but would like to start getting ready in case I find a craft show or I may set a basket out at workshops/classes. Thanks again!
I've sold a few - mostly to my sister! I charge her about $2.00 each, depending on whether or not I used many embellishments. I also just sold three father's day cards to a co-worker. Honestly, she was a bit of a pain to work with, so I charged $3.00 each! I know, I'm so bad....
I'd stick with the $2.00-$2.50 price range. That seems to work well and appeal to most folks I've talked to. HTH

I too would like to know what size bags you get. It looks like uline has 5x5 or 5x7 (I didn't see any 5x6, anyway). Do you do one card per bag (what size) or sets of cards per bag (what size)? I've been thinking about trying a craft show this fall myself, so have been wondering about pricing and packaging--this thread has been helpful!

Here is the link to Uline's 5x6 bags. They sell for $16 for 1000 bags (plus shipping of course). I'm planning to do a fall festival in September and I think I'm going to invest in these bags myself! I really didn't see another size that fits closer. Wish they have 1/2 sizes! http://www.uline.com/ProductDetail.a...S-1726&ref=107
I find craft fair in my area from local papers and also..If you know it is an annual one every year..I did a really big show last year, because the day before I was set up at a small town show and all the crafters around me where going to this big show the next day and said they would try to get me into it and they did. I was smiling on the way home that night trust me....I have done the spring show this year and it was better than the christmas show????? In Iowa, There big show all over the state in the fall, like the UNI dome is usually in OCT. and State fairgounds is in NOV. I go online and type in a search for Iowa Craft Fairs and something always comes up... just try it..

What type of cards do you keep in the basket? Do you put a sentiment on them or leave them blank? What's your best sellers (Birthday, Anniversary, Get Well, etc?)
