Cards and Gifts Franchises

Cards and Gifts Franchises represent an array of franchise opportunities in the sector of supplying card and gift products, usually through arrangement with retail partners.  These franchises are often home-based businesses, requiring space to hold stock and small office space from which to work.

The flexible nature of such businesses, with products in place and being sold by retail partners, or from mobile van-based units, means franchise opportunities, such as CardGroup Greetings and Purple Peach are ideal flexible businesses suitable especially for women looking for a flexible part-time business opportunity as an alternative to conventional employment.  These businesses do offer profitable full-time focussed opportunities too, and franchisors, out of preference would ideally have a network of franchisees maximising the sale and distribution of the products, for the mutual benefit of all involved.

Such franchise models are usually relatively low investments, with the franchisee purchasing stock from the franchisor and profits from the sale of cards and gifts being split between the retailer, franchisor and franchisee.  Each franchise business model is different though, with varying business methodology, card and gift products, and other aspects of their business operation, such as operating from a branded van or not, though all make interesting, fun and flexible businesses to run.  See card franchises and gift franchises below, great part-time, flexible businesses, who are usually especially targeting women franchisees.

Card Line Greetings 'Purple Peach Stickers'

Purple Peach is a high quality collection of generic stickers which are bought in huge numbers by teachers, children and card hobbyists - retailing at a very affordable 99p. The range is sold by the franchisee ‘on consignment’ to almost any small retailer, from corner shops to garages to newsagents etc.
