Plum Tree Books Takes Toddler Steps Into The Great Beyond!
Tomorrow, I am venturing into the new world of Greetings Cards. I have been developing a beautiful range of cards using images from Marta Pelrine-Bacon and Maria Antonietta Terrana with a special image from Susie Bertie also. The cards are quality and gorgeous. They come with attachable poems… I am nervous but excited, as tomorrow, I am attending a leading trade show at London Olympia. Take a look:https://www.facebook.com/TopDrawerLondon
Starting a business is a scary thing. We have to begin somewhere…right? I will keep you all posted as to what I find out and the next steps towards making Plum Tree Books a huge success.
This is a fact-finding mission, but we are now registered and allowed to participate in this Trade only show. It feels as though it has taken a lot to get to this point already…Next year, I intend that Plum Tree Books will be at this Fair with our own exhibition stand, showing our cards with attachable poems, children’s books and special music. I want our Plum Tree Books range to compete with the best of them…

Good luck with your new business. I hope all goes well.
I am sure you know exactly what you’re doing and how to do it but I offer this from my experience and hope it helps you.
I had a retail art supplies business for a number of years (I just do a bit of my felt making now, not a ‘real business’ anymore). When I began, a friend – a retired accountant – told me to open an extra (savings) account and to put in it a percentage of everything I took (even if it was only tiny amounts) to cover the taxes and the accountant’s fees. It was the best piece of advice I was ever given. I followed it to the letter, adding a little more than the percentage required. I never had to worry about tax bills or accountancy fees and when I closed the business, there was a little nest egg left in there for me that was a delightful surprise.
Many thanks for your great advice, Pat. I hope the cards and children’s books which I have been developing over the past year will help sell the other things such as novels and music that we all do. I will keep you posted.
p.s each step of the way is a learning curve, so all help appreciated.
Good luck!
Oh! This first trip is just to find out what I need to do for next year. Thank you, Erik.
Best of luck with this new venture. I would hope the cards will be available for purshase on the Plum Tree website. You are full of surprises Niamh!!.
They are, Darlene!
Good luck on Monday. It should be an adventure. Hope and wish it is successful in that you discover what you are looking for is there.

Just a fact-finding mission today to see how I can be there setting out my stall next year!
But there will be magic. Who knows what you will see or who you will meet. Hope it will be quite productive, jk
This sounds fabulous – a great next step. All the very best of luck!
A great vision. We’ll hold it for you!
many thanks Patricia!
I’ve been thinking about you a lot. I hope this went well!
It was more of a fact-finding/learning experience. It will take some time for me to get everything into place but I am feeling confident.
