Leading greeting card publisher and franchisor, Card Connection, which this year celebrates 21 years in operation, has today announced it will be showing the very latest in its range of high-quality greeting cards at the Pro-Retail show held at the International Centre in Telford 30 April-1 May.

As well as highlighting its Christmas 2013 range, Card Connection will be showing updates to its Gift Connection Party selection and new releases from the Everyday range.

“We are delighted to be attending Pro-Retail again this year,” confirms Michael Johnson, managing director of Card Connection. “The show has always been positive for us and we are looking forward to introducing new and existing customers to our latest stunning product releases.”

Card Connection itself is one of the UK’s largest card publishers and is the market leader in the franchised distribution of greeting cards. Using a proven system, franchisees place greeting cards and other products in retail outlets on a ‘consignment’ basis. Stock and display equipment is installed on free loan to the retailer. This is one step beyond ‘sale or return’ as retailers don’t have to buy stock in the first place, only paying for what they sell. The award winning merchandising service provided to retailers by local franchisees is second to none and has established the company’s excellent reputation especially within the convenience sector.
