​  PREFERRED GIFTWARE VENDOR PROGRAM  

​As a member of the CARD$MART community you have exclusive access to our Preferred Giftware Vendor Program when opening your Card$mart Store-in-a-Store. Jim Bemer, an executive member of the CARD$MART team, helps to connect our valued retailers with the top vendors in each gift category. Our program gives you the tools to help you select merchandise that ensures success in your retail location.


"The impulse buying nature of giftware complements the customer traffic generated by greeting cards, particularly during holiday periods. Effective giftware assortments and presentations drive sales that permit retailers to increase their average sale and profit margins."
