Question ID: 344385
I am putting together a presentation on specialty greeting cards for
the Christian market to a large Korean outlet. What are the most
popular occasions for sending greeting cards in Korea? Are there
popular American holidays for sending cards that are NOT popular in
Korea? (e.g., Mother's Day) What is the average number of greeting
cards bought per household per year in Korea and what is their price
range? I would especially like to know any information on sales of
Christian greeting cards in Korea.

I am very sorry to saying this to you but sending a greeting card is
not very popular in Korea. In Korea, some people would write a letter
to their parents on parents day (there are no mother's day or father's
day in Korea) or to their friends to say happy birthday but they don't
send a card. I'm not talking about just a greeting card but any kind
of card. The reason why sending a card is not popular is because they
didn't have such things like that until mid 1990s.
Korean people would write a letter or call their siblings, parents,
and their friends on New Year which would be always January 1st. As I
said, there is no mother's day but there is parents day. However,
parents day is not as big as Mother's day or Father's day in US. I
don't know about the average number of greeting cards bought per
household per year in Korea but I know that not many people would buy
a greeting card. Furthermore, if you are talking about Christian
greeting cards, I can almost guarantee that selling Christian greeting
cards is not a good business to do in Korea.
What I would suggest you is, selling letter paper instead of selling
greeting cards.



I forgot to mention that more than 90% percent of teenagers in Korea
now using email so it might be a good idea to combine the idea of
selling a greeting card and email

Most card or letter papers that are in Korean market only cost 1000
Won which would be approximately 83cents in US
