Re: Scented Business Cards
I think Erin was inquiring whether offering to supply scented stationary would be a viable addition to the services she currently offers her clients.
Erin, I would have to lean towards the responses you got from Robin and Andrea. While you wouldn't be actually sending your clients scented stationary directly, rather acting as a supplier, I would think you would have the same concerns. Unfortunately, in this day and age with the amount of allergies people have and skin sensitivities, it might not be the greatest product to offer.
I think the bigger question to ask is whether you have a market for the product and being in Australia, you would be the best one able to answer that. Have you had any of your clients ask about such a service or heard about anyone else asking for such a service? Do you have stationary stores in Australia that currently offer such a service? If there is a market for such a service, who would you be your target market and is it worth it to add it to your services offered?
It could very well be that there is a huge demand for such a service, but when it comes to our businesses, it is always best to check demand before offering supply. From my viewpoint, it might be better to offer a service that is in high demand right now, like WordPress or web design. However, a quick look at your website indicates you have already gone ahead and offered scented stationary as a service.
Let us know how it goes and best of luck!
