Paper/Craft business: what’s the revenue for the past 5 years?
I’m thinking of starting a small business. I’m gathering some preliminary data on the paper/craft business (scrapbooking / card making). I need to find out the revenue that this specific craft has increased by over the past 5 years. Does anyone have any numbers for me. I know that I could probably find out the answer if I belonged to the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) but I don’t have the funds to join right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately it costs money to gather that kind of research, so that’s why they charge you to show it to you.
In my experience, people prefer to do their own crafts, so you could make money by selling supplies, but not so much by making the actual crafts.
