Retail GCA members benefit from a series of specialist resources, help and support, plus free POS and discounts from specialist suppliers. As a member you can also promote your store in the Thinking of You Week Gallery, our consumer facing site, to drive traffic to your own website and support your sales and marketing activities.
The GCA runs member networking events that provide opportunities to build business relationships, meet greeting card publishers and other retailers, plus supplier members, who are recommended and already working with other GCA members.
The GCA will keep you up to date with pressing industry and business issues to support you as you build your business. We also compile an annual greeting card market report which is available to premium retail members free of charge.
Joining the GCA also helps us to continue to promote the importance of greeting cards to consumers of all ages. The GCA works with the media and develops initiatives, such as Thinking of You Week, to ensure that the British remain a nation of card senders and we continue to build a healthy industry.
