To be honest with you guys, I'm just starting this bussiness, and I have not printed the cards or made any $ from it yet.I'll be going live very soon tho. But I have done some talking to some stores from before to see if they would buy it or not. I think the only way I can make $ from it by selling a lot of it and I would need a distributors, the "profit" is low on each card.

profit margins are? Costs? Minimum commitments? Bulk discounts? Routes?
Anything that might give a little insight into what you are offering rather
than "Calling Service".</span></font></p>

Do you mean to say "only a couple stores are willing to buy it
locally"?<br>
<br>
Please provide more details. If there is profit to be had, there
will<br>
be buyers.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
