Fluppet.com calls on photographers and artists to make money with gift cards

Greetings card company, Fluppet.com, is offering photographers, artists, cartoonists and illustrators the opportunity to earn a regular income though royalty payments.

There is no cost to submit images and if the pictures are considered suitable, the originator stands to earn 5p each time it is chosen by a Fluppet.com customer.

Given the billions of people who make online purchases every day, the earnings potential is significant. Professional artists and photographers are also able to licence their work through Fluppet.com.

In addition to the UK market, the company is looking to promote the site worldwide to British expats. Living abroad makes it difficult, if not impossible, to purchase English language cards. Fluppet.com also eliminates long posting dates and expensive airmail charges of sending card from abroad to the UK.

Fluppet.com offers users to the ability to send hard copy personalised greetings cards, uploading their own pictures and signatures, by “snail mail” but without having to leave the their computer.

The service costs as little as £1.99 – including postage and a charitably donation – which is often less the price of gift cards from traditional retailers.

Registered users will even receive timely reminders of significant dates by email, so they never need forget another birthday or anniversary.

Fluppet.com creator Peter Bolton, who also runs the printing firm Promotion House in Edenbridge, in Kent said, “After a trend of sending e-Cards at Christmas, many of our business customers are coming back to us to print personalised cards,” adding, “ So we’ve decide to make the service available on-line and widen the option for individual customers to send one-off cards, using their own wording and photos or choose from our thousands of stock images.”

For each card sold, Fluppet.com donates 5p to charity. Currently the company is working with three locally based charities: Parents of Autistic Children of Tonbridge (PACT), World in Need and Build Africa It is also looking to partner with national and international charities, to reflect the company’s wider ambitions.

Questioned as to his choice of brand name Bolton insists that Fluppet.com was originally named after his pet dog. However during research he was intrigued to learn that the term is street slang for a ‘sexually active Muppet’. He decided to keep the name for its appeal to an edgy audience who would want to use the website’s Adult Humour section (accessible to over 18s only) and send their own personal risqué messages.

Fluppet.com is claiming world-first ‘split’ cards, allowing customers to dump lovers by post.

In addition to sending stock and personalised cards, Fluppet.com lets customers use their own pictures and messages on photo canvases or pillows and send flowers, wine and spirits or silk lingerie.

To make it easy for children to send cards, there is a Fluppeteers’ club is where parents can purchase credits to allow their off spring to make and send ‘surprise’ cards.
