12 scrapbook business That Sell


1. Card-making Classes The top response was card classes. “Any card class is a sell-out,” says Diane Pitlik, of All About Pictures in Cedar Rapids, IA. “They do distress inks, stamping, and all kinds of different techniques.” She says her store tries to keep classes around $15 total.


Lois Benham of Scrappin’ Sports in Lima, OH, says that card classes are the biggest selling classes. “We charge from $16 to $20 and usually make 5 cards, but that varies with the degree of difficulty and time it takes to complete them,” she says. “The class fee includes a colored print-out of the cards, along with measurements and written instructions when necessary. Every class is designed to include a new skill.”


According to Gloria Wallace, of Scrap’n Oasis Scrapbook in New Bern, NC, card classes are the biggest hit at her store as well. She always includes a set of stamps or chalk or stencils in the $20 class fee, and students receive a class list prior to each month’s class, and they usually purchase supplies from the store.
