Retail Tip from Zaria Cards

“So far on our journey as a new company we have learned that finding the right printer is so important and probably the biggest challenge you’ll have when starting a greeting card company. It’s totally normal for it to take some time until you find the perfect fit for your brand and don’t feel the need to rush this part of the process,” Agyeman said. “Take your time so that you are genuinely happy with your product.”
