elcome to the fourth issue of Gypsy Chic magazine. The team (Me, myself, and I, plus my brilliant graphic designer) has been working hard over the past few weeks to bring you another creative and colourful magazine packed full of greeting card and business related features. In this issue I have articles on Public Relations, Sales, and gorgeous pen suppliers plus exclusive interviews with Andrew Chambers of Two Scoops, Beth Nadler of Beth Nadler Art, and Marion Hancock of Art Cards Ireland. Hope you enjoy reading all about their business pursuits. For the bibliophiles amongst you, check out the Book Nook. I’ve recommended a “who dunnit” centred round art licensing. If, like me, you love a freebie head over to page 21 and see what goodies lie in store for those able to find time to study. As some in my circle know I’m preparing for a business bootcamp in February so I will have much to focus on but rest assured I’ll
still do my best to bring Issue 5 to life as I’ve got some more brilliant interviews from fellow card publishers to share with you. That’s all for now from Gypsy Chic land. Check back soon! Lorraine Stylianou

WORTH KNOWING YOUR
A MINI-SALES ACCELERATOR
Y
ou’ve probably all heard of the sales pipeline or funnel. The purpose of filling your funnel with lots of sales leads (potential customers) is to ensure that you can get enough interested people to the buying stage. Partnerships too are an important strategy that works in harmony with the sales funnel concept. Selling is simply a transaction between two parties where value is exchanged. Without value on both sides a transaction will not take place. Trust is also needed of course. In a sales environment card publishers ought to let go of their egos and replace with this with their ears – it is important to engage with a new stockist, distributor or agent by allowing them the opportunity to talk, and listen to what they have to say. As suppliers to the trade, we shouldn’t assume we know what the customer wants. To eliminate the guess work of what might work in one shop, as opposed to another, we’ve not only to listen to shop owners, but to do a lot of our own research. This involves understanding our market, targeting stockists, studying demographics, and working out the potential market share for our product.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. l How
many of you have said to yourself “No one else is doing what I do”? I can assure you that most things have already been done. This is not where you give up and become hopeless. What is required is you sit down and compile a list of competitors, itemize what they are selling, study their sales models, and prices. Then when you’ve done this take a look at your
LET ME SHARE MY FIRST DRAFT:
designs and products and list their benefits rather than their features. It is the benefit of a product that provides your customer with value. Don’t assume the benefits of your product or service are obvious – you’ve got to spell them out in your pitch, and marketing material. If listing the features of your card ranges help you then do that… but then clarify how this becomes a benefit.
“I run a greeting card company, designing highly colourful cards perfect for every sending occasion. A lot of cards on the market lack energy and creativity. I’d be happy to tell you more about my life enhancing designs in more detail. What’s the best way to arrange an appointment with you.” Voila!
REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT. DEFINE YOUR USP
l Sales
takes lots of persistence. It is a long journey. To get to the end of that journey you’ve never to be afraid to ask for what it is you want. Respect your potential customer and hang in there – it’s not worth getting stressed about. As soon as you have some data in terms of what you’ve sold, measure that, and work out what does and doesn’t work. Then pivot accordingly.
l How
do you differ from your competitors? Without knowing your point of difference it is difficult to stick to your guns in tough negotiations where prices are being discussed. Knowing your Unique Selling Point is a powerful selling tool. So anyone reading this magazine is probably involved in the card or related industry. If you haven’t studied your fellow card publisher who is offering more or less the same as yourself, it is hard to identify your unique benefit. When you’ve studied your competitor’s message try and carefully craft your own – but don’t copy anyone else’s message. You need your own voice.
Let’s define Pivot: turn on or as if on a pivot. “he swung round, pivoting on his heel” synonyms: rotate, turn, revolve, spin, swivel, twirl, whirl, wheel, oscillate “a large panel in the side pivots inwards”
DEVELOP YOUR MESSAGING
Connecting with your potential customers in a meaningful way is key. Find out what they need, and then see if you have a match. Only then can you know for sure if your product or service can actually help them. If you realise you are flogging a dead horse stop. Go back to the drawing board and look at your designs. How can they be improved? Whose second opinion can you get (and this does not include your Granny) to give you an honest, impartial opinion. Then seek out an expert in your field for support. They tend to reinvigorate you, and keep you on track when you’ve suffered a set back. Dust yourself down, and start again!
l Tell
a story your customer can relate to. Make it clear and consistent. For your sales materials, present your case through the use of videos, demos, data sheets, price lists, contracts and of course the sales pitch. What gap in the market to you fill? What need do your cards meet?
THE 30 SECOND ELEVATOR PITCH
The benefit: Why would someone want what you are selling? The differentiator: What makes your different from everyone else The ask: The permission to follow up with an order in mind.

2. DO YOU PAINT ON CANVAS OR DO YOU DESIGN ALONE ON A TABLET? l l l I started painting with watercolours but now I use an iPad, using my finger as a paintbrush and the tablet as a canvas, I can use it and paint without the need of lots of art materials.
1. HOW DID IT ALL START FOR YOU IN DESIGN? lll When I was 16 I went to the Sir John Cass School of Art, from here I was lucky enough to be taken on at Garrards (the crown jewellers) for a 5-year apprenticeship designing and making jewellery. On completing the 5 years I made a masterpiece for Goldsmiths Hall (a diamond line bracelet) and became a Freeman of London. This lead to many exciting things including restoration work on the crown jewels.
3. WHY NAKED BODIES? l l l The naked bodies represent the feeling of freedom and equality. There are no trademarks or labels, they show people enjoying the simple pleasures of life in a natural and non judgemental environment. F

4. HAVE YOU EVER USED A NUDIST BEACH? lll Yes, I have used a nudist beach, on a holiday in Fuerteventura whilst enjoying an evening walk with my wife, a voluptuous, red haired lady strolled out of the sea without a care in the world, she was completely naked and uninhibited with a big smile on her face. The next day we went down to the beach and realised we were the only clothed people there so decided to join in the fun! We went splashing into the waves and enjoyed the freedom of nudity in the sea air. 5. WHERE ARE YOUR CARDS CURRENTLY STOCKED AND HOW DO YOU ACQUIRE STOCKISTS? lll At the moment our cards are in small independent shops locally and in the USA. I sell on the internet through my website www.twoscoops.cards To find new stockists I approach shops directly, the PG Live show was good where I obtained a large order from a picture framing company. Like any new publisher I am getting to the stage where I am looking for agents.
8. WHERE DID TWO SCOOPS NAME COME FROM? l l l The name came by accident, I applied to the Greeting Card Association and sent my first picture named Two Scoops. When I attended the first seminar my name badge had Andrew of Two Scoops on it and I thought it was meant to be.
6. WHAT SOCIAL NETWORKS DO YOU USE MOST AND WHY? lll I use LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Instagram has led to sales in the USA, but generally social networking enables me to promote my cards to a worldwide audience.
9. WHAT ARE THE FUTURE PLANS FOR TWO SCOOPS? l l l In 2016 we are exhibiting at PG Live where we hope to acquire some new stockists, at the start of the year I shall be going out on the road to meet potential new customers. I will be using the advice given at the recent Ladder Club seminar and feel lucky to be part of such a friendly, supportive industry.
7. WHY THE RED BALLOON? lll I wanted something to link all the images together to create a recognisable brand, I remember seeing an old man walking and whistling carrying a red balloon and thought this created a carefree image.

1. IS IT ACCURATE TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS AN AGENT FOR IRISH ARTISTS AND HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHICH ARTISTS’ WORK TO FEATURE ON CARDS OR OTHER PRODUCTS? lll No, I’m not an agent. I’m happy to promote our artists through our cards and on social media, but I’m not responsible for getting them work, as a full time artist’s agent would be. I did a lot of initial research online, which I don’t think was necessarily the best way. I was looking for art that was accessible yet also ‘credible’. Most of our artists are pretty well established and having their work on a greeting card is a footnote for them, not a career aspiration. Part of the appeal of the card industry is that anyone can have a go at producing a card image no matter what their skill level. I remember reading about how the Purple Ronnie brand got started, its creator Giles Andreae was not held back by doubts about his drawing ability! That is great, but for us I felt that one way to stand out in the crowd would be to feature artists with a clear degree of ability and some professional visibility/traction. There are exceptions to that – we do have a self-taught artist who does very simple crayon drawings – but with most of the artists we publish, you can look at their work and know it’s not something they knocked together. I grew up in the north of England buying cards by the likes of Camden Graphics and Gallery Five, and I was always niggled by the question of what separates fine art from illustration and decorative art. I feel like it’s only recently that I’m getting more perspective on this, partly thanks to an art history course I’m doing. There is a graphic quality to much of what we publish. We publish a lot of printmakers, and there’s an impact and simplicity to
printmaking that makes for good cards. These days we get a fair amount of submissions out of the blue, and we also have some relationships with galleries, studios and artist groups. Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I trawled online for images. 2. DO YOU PAINT YOURSELF, AND IF SO, WILL WE SEE ANY OF YOUR OWN DESIGNS ON CARDS ANYTIME SOON? l l l A timely question. I’m in the second year of an HND in fine art. It’s a practical course that includes drawing, painting, printmaking and ceramics. So at the moment I’m grappling with oil painting, and am cutting my teeth doing paintings of rusty scaffolding. I don’t think people will be queueing up to buy cards with those on. I also wonder if I could be as objective about my own stuff as I am about other people’s, and I would worry that publishing my own work might be seen as vanity publishing, when I am trying to build a brand that is clearly based on quality. Even if I produce work that strikes me as card-suitable, I may think twice. 3. HOW DO YOU FIND STOCKISTS AND DISTRIBUTORS FOR YOUR CARDS AND CALENDARS AND DO YOU EXPORT? l l l Finding stockists was initially a matter of legwork. Loads of visits, loads of emails, and exhibiting at a couple of trade F

u
shows. Our cards got noticed and we were lucky enough to be approached by a very good agent in Ireland. We’ve just been approached by our first UK agent. We’ve had export enquiries from France and the US, haven’t got anything firmly in place yet. The American distributor for instance only wanted cards in a 5 x 7 format, and most of ours are square. 4. DESCRIBE A “MARKETING DAY” IN THE OFFICE – DO YOU STRATEGIZE THINGS LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA OR ARE THINGS DONE IN A MORE AD HOC WAY? lll Social media gets done usually at the end of a day or at the weekend, often with a glass of wine in hand – that’s when I suddenly think ‘I know! I should post about X/Y/Z!’. I know you’re supposed to have an editorial calendar and plan it all out, but I don’t. I enjoy the random and serendipitous approach.

5. WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR ART CARDS IRELAND IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS? lll I read somewhere recently what sounded like good advice on strategy: make a list of the ten most important things that need doing, and start doing one of them. I made my ‘ten things’ list the other day and it reads like this: l Clarify that our website is a trade website, and highlight online ordering l Simplify the artists’ submissions process l Streamline our card design/ production process l Start a monthly Mailchimp newsletter l Develop prototypes for a sister range of ‘social stationery’ to run alongside our blank art cards l Find UK agents l Redesign the backs of our cards
6. COULD YOU SEE YOURSELF REPRESENTING ARTISTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN IRELAND? l l l After sixteen years in Ireland, my husband and I are thinking of moving back to the UK next summer and there are a few possible ways we could develop the business. It could remain a decisively Irish brand, as it is now. Or we could rebrand and expand to include English, Scottish and Welsh artists. I think as a first step we would do some UK trade shows and test the water, see what buyers think of our brand. ART CARDS IRELAND

A match made in heaven…
T
here’s nothing quite like writing with a quality pen when composing your sweet nothings inside a greeting card. I have to admit I’m a bit taken by Montblanc and started a collection many years ago when I found a genuine Meisterstück in a pile of old clothes. I’ve added to it gradually over the years (my pension fund – right?) But who would have guessed how many other Pen manufacturers there are out there designing
amazingly beautiful writing instruments in addition to Montblanc, the best of which are also of Swiss or Italian design. You’ll notice watch and pen manufacture goes hand in hand. Do you think these pen manufacturers are worried about the demise of their industry? I think not. Great design – whether it is on metal, or on paper - will always have a future. Only when they go down will I start to worry about the future of the greeting card.

If you know the names of other quality pen manufacturers please email me – I’d love to know. Perhaps you should start your own pen brand – Doesn’t every self-respecting greeting card need a pen by the same publisher?

Beth Nadler
of Beth Nadler Art

1. TELL US HOW IT ALL STARTED FOR YOU IN ART AND WHAT DO YOU FOCUS ON THESE DAYS IN TERMS OF TECHNIQUES/MEDIUMS. lll Art started for me when I was VERY young. My mom’s an artist and she had me coloring on huge sheets of paper she hung on the wall in our dining room by the time I was a year old. She told me that I never once tried to eat a crayon, I was very happy using them just for coloring. As far as mediums go, I’ve probably tried most of them through my career and schooling. Right now I’m enjoying water color, markers, and always Sharpies.
3. DO YOU LICENSE YOUR IMAGES, AND IF SO, ON WHAT PRODUCTS DO THEY APPEAR? l l l Yes, I do license my images. I have a licensing agent called, Creatif Licensing. My art can be found on garden flags, wall art, inspirational books, journals, clocks, and more.
2. YOUR CHILDLIKE MOTIVATIONAL PRINTS ARE MY FAVOURITE. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION FROM? lll Thank you so much for liking my ‘childlike motivational” art. My inspiration I think comes a lot from memories of being a young girl and preteen and thinking about what I would have loved in terms of art at that time.
5. WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE PR TIPS FOR GETTING NOTICED? l l l As far as getting noticed I totally recommend using social media. I’m constantly using Instagram and Pinterest (my two favorites) and posting work to my FB page. I’ve also received a lot of jobs through my Etsy shop and that’s actually how my agent found me! F
4. WHAT SELLS BEST FOR YOU? ORIGINAL ART, PRINTS, DIGITAL DOWNLOADS, OR YOUR GLASS PENDENT JEWELLERY? l l l Hmmm, what sells best for me? I do well with my “art jewelry” and prints in my Etsy shop, but a fairly new item for me is my work printed on planked wood and that’s been doing really well.
19
6. WHAT BIG PLANS HAVE YOU FOR BETH NADLER ART? lll In the future I’m looking forward to my work appearing on many more licensed products, some of which are now in the works. Additionally, I’ve always had an interest in writing and illustrating children’s books and I’m working on a project right now so hopefully that will take off. Fingers crossed!! BETH NADLER ART
