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.
