This is the range of Father’s Day cards in my newsagency on Glenferrie Road Malvern.
We have cards from two suppliers covering a broad range of captions, and this matters for Father’s Day … caption range. We also have money wallets, a card with a premium gift and a very cool card that is a bit of a DIY opportunity for dad.
I like the breadth and depth of range. It makes the shop the destination for Father’s Day cards on Glenferrie Road, which is positioning we sought.
Cards sales in this business are up 25%, in a marketplace that is, overall, flat. Cards are important to us in terms of GP contribution, and we manage them with that in mind.
Anyway, back to Father’s Day. We’re making noise on the shop floor and outside the shop about it because we see it as a good traffic driver. early indications are encouraging.
Looking outside this shop at other newsagencies, for sure, the local newsagency is the best place to find the best Father’s Day cards this year … since the same cards are not everywhere.
Footnote: yes, I know the Father’s Day cards in the photo are blocking the gift packaging. It’s a temporary situation until next week when we can better situate the Father’s Day cards.
Love Father’s Day cards.
