What does a greeting card do!
Greeting cards are big business in the UK. People love giving cards - and with them people love giving gifts. Research has revealed that the giver gets as much or more joy from giving the gift as the receiver.
By selling greeting cards, you are reminding people of that joy. By having greeting cards available in your selling area you remind your customers of the joy of gift giving. (And, of course, we hope you might sell some cards too!)
For you business is alive & well
While much of the high street is suffering, you cater to people making their lives better, making their home more beautiful. As one of the few places left where people
will go to enjoy browsing and
making some lovely purchases, you
are in an enviable position, and
you can expand your offerings to
more products which complement
your existing offerings and delight
your customers.
Can you make it so your customers think of YOU when they need a gift?
People tend to spend more money when buying gifts than they do when buying for themselves. Displaying greeting cards in your shop will help you capture that market.
How will Greeting Cards Help?
EMOTION
01
Greeting cards are designed for events. Events are about people, and people create strong memories and emotions in us.
MOOD
02
When someone sees a Happy Birthday greeting card in your shop, their mind will think about the people they love, and it puts them in a happy mood..and a person in a happy mood is a good customer to have..
MEMORY
03
They might then remember they have to buy a gift for someone..and well, isn't your garden centre the perfect place to buy that gift.
TIP: Keep gift vouchers nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your cards come with display stands?
No, we do not currently supply display stands. Every business is different, and to keep them different we think it is best if you source your own in the vibe of your store. Also that means you can choose other supplier's cards rather than being beholden to putting only our cards in our stands. Our favourite suppliers are at www.wirefittings.co.uk
So can you give me ideas of how to display them?
You can use anything. A plant pot, a small wooden box, a jewellery display box, or just lean them up against things. People love flicking through cards, so if you haven't got much space a small box with all the different cards works perfectly.
Do your cards come wrapped in a protective covering?
We sell the cards with or without a protective covering. It is up to you based on your business..if dirty hands are a possibility then we would go with protective coverings, for example. The covering is a biodegradable film, which is printed to identify that it is biodegradable. The cards without the protection have a clasp holding the envelope and card together.
Do your cards come with envelopes?
Absolutely. Every card is supplied with a colourful envelope. We mix and match different colours with the cards, so you get a very colourful display. If you decide you only want one colour, then let us know and we can do that.
What size are your cards
The majority of our cards are in A6 format. We do have one series of cards in a square 150cm format.
How do I reorder?
After you have received your starter pack, we will send you a link to register an account on our website. If you would prefer to order by any other means then let us know, we will happily work with whatever workflow you require or prefer.
Do you do sale or return?
No, we don't, however if you find you have some cards which are not selling, you can return them to us and then we can add replacements for them to your next order. Please email first.
What payments options do you offer?
Initially we accept Card payments or Paypal. After we have established a relationship we will happily work on a 30 day invoice. You can then pay by BACS or card/paypal.
