As the UK’s largest buying group, specifically catering for independent retailers in gifts and greeting cards, Cardgains knows a thing or two about celebrating special occasions!
Therefore it comes as no surprise that the organisation will have plenty to shout about on its stand at The Cardgains Village at Spring Fair next month -taking place at the NEC from February 3-7 – to mark its milestone 30th anniversary. (Hall 3; stand L10/M11).
For starters, there will be a new Wheel of Fortune style game on the stand, where members can win £30 vouchers from Cardgains and participating suppliers, which they can use against orders placed at the show.
Cardgains will also be presenting a cheque for £20,000 to a representative of the MND Association, the group’s charity for 2018, and will be announcing a new charity for 2019, along with details of the fundraising event, which is open to industry friends and colleagues. (In 2018, it was Kumbaya Cumbria, a 27-and-a-half mile walk in the Lake District).
“All I can say at this point is that there will a be a 3 and zero in the distance we walk!” confirms Cardgains marketing manager Penny Shaw.
Portmeirion, Heart of the Country and Sass & Belle are among the many gift suppliers that make up the Cardgains membership.
