COLLABORATION
At VOLidayGreetings.com we offer a unique collection of sports & recreational themed notecards and postcards featuring original designs created by talented artists.
We enjoy collaborating with fine Artists and Printers to create and market our unique products. If you are an Artist with some original designs you would like us to consider, we're interested in talking to you. If you are a Printer eager to handle some of the production aspects of our enterprise, we're interested in talking to you too.
Naturally, as part of our collaboration, participating Artists and Printers share in the profits generated through sales. If you think you might be interested in such a relationship, please contact us via e-mail.
