Greeting Cards
Greeting Cards Business
The Greeting Cards industry is a huge business. As a consumer you know that greeting cards are most popular during holidays. They also are also popular for events like birthdays, graduations, births and weddings. Paper cards are threatened by electronic greeting cards (ecards) but 1.5 billion holiday cards were still mailed last year according to CNBC.
Greeting Card Writers
The best work for those interested in becoming a greeting card writer is likely at one of the major greeting card publishing companies, i.e., a staff writer position at Hallmark or American Greetings. Another option would be to launch your own greeting card business. Some greeting card companies also accept freelance submissions. The Greeting Card Association (GCA) says writers are usually paid a flat fee between $25 and $150 for a submission that is accepted by the publisher.
