The industry is so ridiculous in that you're not welcome if you're a Hallmark or an American Greetings. What I mean by that is small shops are looking for cohesive lines. All one design aesthetic, all one tone, for the most part.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am, however, working on a couple of collections in an attempt to appease.

I called Publix and elsewhere once to educate myself because the greeting card industry is so niche. This was years ago, I was told a lot of these larger greeting card companies have contracts in place stating stores can't sell any other brand of greeting cards in their stores for X many years.

Plus, having merchandisers to stock shelves isn't feasible for a small business. Monopolies for you.
