Dear Dana:
The laws of supply and demand are such that there is certainly room for
more! You must have a product that people want, you must market the heck out
of it and you must take the time to make sure you have set your business up
correctly.
For something like this, I like to suggest you start locally. Is amazing
what a little volunteering in your area can do for a business! Give your cards
away to fundraisers, give them to the Chamber of Commerce or your local
tourism bureau to use as they wish...make yourself known wherever you go! If
you have locally owned "mom-n-pop" stores, go see if you can work
out a consignment deal with them. The tourism industry is just what will help
you take your product global, if it is worth it. Think of it, a person wanting
a postcard or souvenir comes into the store and sees your card, they take it
home and share it with others....you could be in demand in no time!
Best of luck....keep a positive attitude and your dream could come true!
