Dean and Janet Hoyle opened the first Card Factory in Wakefield, it was 1997. It was a natural follow on from their success buying cards wholesale and selling them at car boot sales and other public events. Their success continued, allowing them to open several more stores. At this time Janet started to focus on creating and printing their own cards, Dean focused on rapid expansion, the aim was to have more stores than their main competitors. The business has continued to trade successfully since, although the Hoyle’s sold it to Charterhouse and the company has since gone public.
Unsurprisingly no catalog lists the entire range of cards offered by Card Factory. This is because they stock such a huge range of cards it would be impractical, if not impossible, to catalog them all. Card Factory offers cards for all occasions, including birthdays, anniversaries, births, weddings, sickness, retirement, and so on. The best way to see the entire range is to head into one of their stores. They do offer a promotional catalog that is valid for ten days. This is usually about eight pages long and highlights the latest card ranges or a specific special offer. It’s worth taking a look at. You should also note that Card Factory now offers a personalization service, you can personalize almost any card!
There are approximately 1,000 stores across the UK, you’re likely to find one in your local town This was a deliberate approach by the Hoyle’s which has been continued by Charterhouse. The belief was that you would be more likely to shop with them if there was a store conveniently close. The theory seems to have remained true even with the increase in digital communication. Every Card Factory store has an impressive array of cards, they are organized by category and you’ll find the traditional display units stretching through the shop. It makes it easy to find the section you’re looking for. Of course, the real benefit of being in-store isn’t the friendly customer service. It’s the fact that you can look closely at all the different designs and feel the cards. There really is no better way to choose the perfect card for your loved one. This is what continues to make the in-store experience so appealing, you are almost guaranteed to find something that appeals and you probably wouldn’t have considered it beforehand.
