Get Feedback on Your Cards -- For Artists!

Here are a list of resources to get help with your card business and get feedback on your designs.



Peer to Peer Feedback



If you just want to get feedback from other supportive artists, you can ask advice from members of our private facebook group. In order to be approved for this group, you must have a facebook account (free), your facebook page must be accessible for review (to make sure you are an artist or professional in the card business).



Professional Consultants in the Gift Industry



I recommend the the following professional consultants that I have worked with or personally know. 
Most consultants can meet by video and telephone.







Ginger McCleskey:  She is a greeting card sales rep who helps artists who produce or print their own cards.
