Our publisher members are the cornerstone of our industry. It’s through their creativity and drive that the British greeting card industry continues to thrive and grow; we lead the world in greeting card design and innovation, exporting our cards all over the globe.

GCA members benefit from a series of specialist resources, expert help and support designed to aid business growth plus discounts from specialist suppliers.

As a member you can promote your business on the GCA website, a key trade source, and use the search facility to attract retailers, artists, writers and others. You can also feature your product in the Thinking of You Week Gallery , our consumer facing site, to support your sales and marketing activities.

The GCA runs member networking events that provide opportunities to build business relationships with other greeting card publishers and retailers, plus established supplier members who are recommended and already working within the GCA community.

The GCA will keep you up to date with pressing industry and business issues to support you and your business, leading debate within the industry. We also compile an annual greeting card market report which is available to publisher members free of charge, providing valuable information on our industry as you plan product releases.

Membership of the GCA also helps us to continue to promote the importance of greeting cards to consumers, through the media and initiatives such as Thinking of You Week, ensuring that the British tradition of card sending remains, and our industry grows.
