Business concept

Card Group with its unique market leading range of Greeting cards and gift products supplies 41 countries worldwide through its network of Master Franchisees and Franchisees. We are expanding into many new markets every year worldwide and therefore we are looking for professional and motivated people who wish to start their own business either as a Master Franchisee or as a local Franchisee.

We provide a complete Business Format Franchise System including training, operating manuals, intellectual property rights, know-how, signs, supervision, quality control and management resources to support our franchised network.

Aside from that, we have developed a unique system where we supply retailers with free display units and stock of Greeting cards and gift products on a no-risk, free consignment basis where the retailers only pay for what they sell.

Whether you are considering setting up as a Master Franchisee or as a local Franchisee in any country, you can be confident of an effective support package backed by a team of marketing, sales, administration, production and design studio professionals.

At the same time CardGroup is investing in research and developing into new product areas that will provide immediate and yet lasting benefits which can be introduced through the network of shops.

Worldwide Franchise Opportunities

Top selling products
CardGroup has developed a unique market leading range of greeting cards and associated gift products which are top-sellers in their category. Our products, with unique hand made style designs and the highest quality in the market, are sold at the same price as our competitors “normal cards and gifts”.

Aside from that, we have developed a unique system where you supply retailers with free display units and stock of all cards and gift products on a no-risk, free consignment basis where the retailers only pay for what they sell.
Together, this is a very attractive proposal for the retailers and gives you the possibility of introducing our products to retailers that have previously not sold cards & gifts.

The franchise
Your own area will cover a population large enough to assure you of an excellent income from selling a huge volume of products through your own network of 150-200 potential retailers such as card shops, gift shops, supermarkets, flower shops and many more. You will visit the retailers monthly to restock the displays and invoice them for products sold. The products sell themselves from the display units which work for you 7 days a week and sometimes 24 hours a day while you do other things!

There is no hard selling involved as you offer retailers free stock and displays and an excellent monthly merchandising service.

It is a win/win situation for them!

Many retailers are now earning money on space in the shop where they did not earlier sell any products.

You will become their own personal local gift wholesaler.

A Card Group franchise can be run from home with minimal over-head costs. You need a car, telephone, computer and a small storage area.

Training and support
You will receive full support from each country’s head office backed by an international organization. Franchisees will be given comprehensive training complimented by full legal, financial, administrative and operational assistance - the complete package both for set-up and for ongoing business development and coaching support.

Each franchisee is assured of the best possible start to their new business.


Interested in running your own business?
No previous experience is required. Our franchisees come from a wide variety of backgrounds including husband and wife teams. We are seeking individuals who really want to make a difference in their lives and are willing to invest the time and effort to build a successful business.

Worldwide Master Franchise Opportunities

We are inviting expressions of interest from potential Master Franchisees to own and run a network of franchisees, sales people and merchandisers within their own countries.
Currently we are operating a network of Master Franchisees in 41 countries worldwide and we are looking for further Master Franchisees who wants to develop the Card Group business within their own countries.

The Master Franchisee
As a Master Franchisee you will deliver products, recruit and train local franchisees, sales people and merchandisers, co-ordinate and give support to your network.

Training and support
A complete business system with manuals, sales material, initial and on-going training, support, products, administrative and operational assistance – the complete package both for set-up and for ongoing business development and coaching support is at your disposal. We also offer the best financing back up in the franchise industry.

We will support you all the way from starting your business to recruiting and developing sales.
