I'm not surprised someone wants to open a card shop, they're probably not being paid enough at UBS or Credit Suisse. In a recent survey conducted by me, all cards in Northcross road emporiums cost ?7.50. Cost Breakdown: ?0.10 Materials, ie a small piece of thin card ?0.20 Labour ?0.05 Envelope Cost ?0.05 Supply Chain Total Cost ?0.40 Total Gross Margin 94.66% Cards and taps, the 2 highest margin products around. Just dont get me started on taps.
