What’s Included in Your Master Suite
This collection is organized into five high-impact, tabbed modules for the modern creative entrepreneur:
Module 1: Strategy & "Niche-Design" Brand Ledger – A structured path from "Artist" to "Business Owner." Use physical worksheets to define your model (Handmade vs. Wholesale), conduct seasonal trend mapping, and follow your 30-60-90 day launch roadmap.
Module 2: Production, Paper & Supplier Vault – Your "Quality HQ." Hard-copy guidance on paper stock selection and envelope sourcing. Includes physical Print Supplier Vetting Sheets, unit-cost comparison logs, and sample approval trackers to ensure every card feels premium.
Module 3: Pricing, Wholesale & Profit Journal – Your guide to high margins. Features physical calculators for Cost-Per-Card, retail-to-wholesale price ladders, and bundle pricing planners to ensure your creativity is as profitable as it is beautiful.
Module 4: Fulfilment, Packaging & Logistics Roadmap – Built for the studio floor. Track your damage-prevention checklists, manage your eco-packaging options, and use the Order Fulfilment SOPs to ensure every card arrives crisp, unbent, and on time.
Module 5: Marketing, IP & Growth Portfolio – Your guide to a cult-following. Features physical planners for seasonal launch calendars, "Behind-the-Scenes" content logs, copyright protection awareness, and your path to Wholesale Expansion.
