BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI and BLACKSBURG, VA, April 5, 2023 — There still exists a strong consumer base for physical greeting cards and the buying and receiving of these cards continues to be important to many, with the U.S. market estimated to reach $13.4 billion in the next five years. A fast-growing sector of the greeting card business, and one that enables retailers to compete directly with e-cards, gives customers the ability to personalize their message.
eGrowcery, developer of the leading retail food industry white label ecommerce platform, and Card Isle, which provides a comprehensive custom-made greeting card solution, are providing a way for retailers to retain shoppers who might otherwise use social media or e-cards to extend salutations. The companies are integrating the personalized card solution into the eGrowcery digital shopping service to extend overall shopper engagement.
“eGrowcery is in the business of helping our retail customers differentiate themselves from larger chains,” said Patrick Hughes, CEO of eGrowcery. “By partnering with Card Isle and similar services that grow the retailer’s market footprint, we’re making it easier for that operator’s customers to do even more shopping at their stores.”
The eGrowcery-Card Isle partnership incorporates a curated range of greeting cards into the retailer’s ecommerce site. The cards are printed on demand at the store, offering convenience and near-limitless customization. The printed cards are made available for store pickup or delivery.
“Both Card Isle and eGrowcery are designed to truly engage consumers by enabling them to shop the way the want to shop. Integrating our cards into the eGrowcery platform will hope both companies and their mutual retail customers flourish,” said David Henry, COO and Co-Founder of Card Isle.
