HandMade Cards title under crafts

OK... I see your point but if you went into a shop wouldnt you be suprised to see handmade greeting cards on the first floor and greeting cards to be on the ground floor?

If they were on the floor, the shop would have to be in Thailand

Hmmmm - in Crafts - could refer to it as....

Crafts - Cardmaking - Supplies
Crafts - Cardmaking - Handmade Cards .... + sub-categories

Main issue is pro-made card sellers don't want their stock mixed with handmade stuff, and vice versa - certainly I don't, and I do sell both at times, maybe it's just me, but I feel most people would think the same way - e.g. buyers of factory printed cards may consider handmade as tacky, but handicraft buyers may not want to wade through hundreds or thousands of factory made listings.

Noooooooo

Normal greeting cards are mass produced litho-printed and cut-throat cheap

Handmade cards are individually made and normally quite expensive.

Would you put caviar on the same slice of toast as cod-roe, or champagne in the same glass as home-made beer? (OK OK spme of you might ....... peasants)

I think you'll find that most people look for homemade/handmade cards under crafts, not under Seasonal - Greetings cards.

I wouldn't look under crafts. I'd look under greetings cards>Handmade/Handcrafted. After all, if I want a card, I wouldn't look under Crafts, as I wouldn't be wanting to make it myself.

make sense?

i agree

i did put up a thread about a year ago regarding cards.

if people are looking in crafts, then they probably make cards themselves

if someone wanted to buy a card, they wouldnt necessarily realise they wanted handmade until they saw it and i dont think they would go looking under crafts to find it.

This is definitely another case where we could do with being able to list an item in 2 categories.


Gazza / Mark is this a possibility or is it to be limited to one category only for the forseeable future?
