Card Connection Franchisees Increases Sales By 20%

Franchise Wire:

Leading greeting card publisher and franchisor, Card Connection, has today announced that Andy Thompson and his wife Vicki, franchisees for the Sunderland, Berwick and Durham region, have increased their sales by 20% in the past year.

“Since joining Card Connection in 2004, Andy and Vicki developed their area and within three years had doubled the size of their franchise to become one of Card Connection’s first Platinum franchisees. This means they run one of our largest franchises,” explains Andrew Cutler, sales and franchise director of Card Connection. “However, they have continued to grow their business significantly and now work with more than 300 retailers supplying Card Connection greeting cards. Despite challenging economic times, they have seen sales grow by 20% compared with last year and have recently recorded their best ever month.”

Ex Royal Navy Petty Officer, Andy Thompson puts this success down to: “a sustained team effort to bring on new retail customers. By making a name for ourselves, through word of mouth and networking, we have been introduced to local shop managers, owners and even some store area managers which has helped extend our customer base. In addition, we aim to follow-up and convert leads provided by Card Connection’s head office within 24 hours.” Continue reading this post.
