Think about this for a minute…

* U.S. consumers purchase approximately 7 billion greeting cards each year, generating nearly $7.5 billion in retail sales.

* More than 90 percent of all U.S. households buy greeting cards, with the average household purchasing 30 individual cards in a year.

* Although e-mail, text messaging and phone calls are valued by Americans for helping them communicate with family and friends, the majority of Americans say they prefer the old-fashioned handwritten card or letter to make someone feel truly special.

* According to the Small Business Administration, today more than half (53%) of the small businesses in the U.S. are home-based.

* Entrepreneur magazine estimates that $427 billion is generated each year by home-based businesses.

* More and more families are looking for a way to start a home business that makes a difference, is rewarding and gives them time and financial independence.

And that’s just in the United States. Think about the global possibilities!
