2024 looks to be an exciting year for GBCC (The Great British Card Company) as the publisher is exhibiting at the Harrogate Christmas Show (Hall Q Stand 11, January 14-17) for the first time for many years, as well as at Spring Fair.
The Great British Card Partnership (GBCP) is the brokerage arm of GBCC and offers a unique solution to retailers who want to have a curated range from one source which cuts down on time and stock levels and, importantly, is proven to increase sales.
The division, part of The Great British Card Company (GBBC), which is known for its long-standing heritage in premium greetings, supplies brokerage and planning solution to retailers throughout the UK has announced three exciting new publishing partners who are joining the scheme from January 2024:
Brighton-based greetings and stationery designer, Louise Mulgrew, known for beautiful illustrative designs and love of animals and the environment is set to be a great addition to the GBCP offering.
Award-winning humour publisher, Redback, will also be launched in 2024. Funny, clever and super cool, we’re delighted to be able to offer the Redback collection to ignite birthday laughs this year.
Designed in Derbyshire, Dandelion are the go-to publishers of heartfelt words and sentiments, with a good measure of humour.
David Byk, CEO of GBCC said: ”We reviewed our publishing partners and also looked at other publishers who we believe both offer us something different from what we have already and are also doing a fantastic job in the market and we narrowed our ‘targets’ down to these three companies. We were absolutely delighted when all three wanted to come on board. This is on top of Stop the Clock and Raspberry Blossom who joined the scheme in the last quarter of 2023.’’
It will also be launching its newest Paper Salad gift stationery collaboration in January – see it at the stand at the NEC. It also expects its biggest and best humour launch for many years including additions to the well known Humour Factor’ range and a new friendship range called Two Old Friends, plus licensed cards from David Walliams and Bewilderbeest.
