Design and Sell Novelty Playing Cards

Nearly everyone loves playing cards. And you can make money by creating your own playing cards for custom and niche interest markets, such as fishing, shopping, golfing, and so on. Your market must be large enough to allow you to sell many different designs of cards, and to encourage buyers to order several packs at any one time, as well as affording you regular and repeat customers.

Just about every home has at least one deck of playing cards and usually more.  And although many people don't believe in playing poker, or cards, for money, just about everyone loves playing Solitaire, War, or Slap Jack with their kids. And that means every family is a target customer for several very different card packs created by you.

You can set up a website that sells many different types of playing cards, thereby exposing you to the largest customer market you can achieve. Just advertise your company as much as you can, and pick a distinct and memorable business name to help customers remember you and buy from you again. One very simple way to get traffic to your site - though time consuming – is by writing articles about each and every different card game in existence, then tell people they can order unique cards to play these games from your site.  Make sure your articles link directly to your web site.

Don't forget to market your cards as a great gift idea for people who are hard to buy for, and for recipients who have ‘everything’.

If the idea appeals to you, you could give customers the chance to design their own cards. This may help your company stand out among rival manufacturers. The easier you make it for customers to upload pictures to your site, and the easier the ordering process, the better your sales will be.

Also the more novel the service you provide, again the more money you’re make.  So you could, for example, put customers’ portraits onto face cards and make them queens, kings or jacks!
