Wholesale Birthday Cards and Australian Christmas Cards for Retailers
If you run a supermarket, gift shop, boutique, florist, or bookstore, you already know greeting cards are one of the easiest add on sales in retail. Someone comes in for a gift and walks out with a candle and a birthday card. Get the range right and cards quietly become one of your most reliable lines.
Wish & Tell is an Australian owned card wholesale supplier working with independent retailers. Here’s what to look for when you’re choosing a supplier, and why now is the time to sort your Christmas range.
Birthday cards should be the backbone of your card range
Birthdays happen every day of the year, which makes birthday cards the steadiest seller in any card display. Christmas has its rush, but birthdays pay the bills in January, June and September.
When you’re buying birthday cards wholesale, think about:
Variety of recipients: Mum, Dad, partner, mate, kids, milestone birthdays. A good range covers everything with a small footprint so customers can find the right card fast without decision fatigue.
Tone: Mix heartfelt, funny and simple. Different customers want different things.
Designs that suit your store: Cards should look like they belong on your shelves, not like they came from a Chinese website.
Easy reordering: Birthday cards sell all year, so you want a supplier who makes topping up simple.
Why choose an Australian card wholesale supplier
Buying wholesale cards from an Australian supplier gives you a few real advantages:
Designed and printed in Australia: Customers love a local story, and it’s one you can share at the counter.
Sustainable materials and FSC certified cardboard: Supporting responsible forestry is a selling point for eco minded customers.
Easier communication: You’re dealing with a local business, not a faceless overseas warehouse.
Our cards carry the FSC label and the Australian Made and Owned logo on the back, so your customers can see it for themselves.
Australian Christmas cards:
By mid-October, Christmas is closer than it seems. If you want Australian Christmas cards on your shelves before the shopping rush, now is the time to lock in your order.
Australian Christmas cards are different to Northern hemisphere designs. Christmas here means summer, beaches, barbecues, native fauna and flora and long afternoons with family. Customers are increasingly looking for cards that actually look and feel like an Australian Christmas, and Australian Christmas cards give your store a point of difference against the big chains that only sell mass produced designs not native to Australians.
Tips for stocking Christmas cards:
Order early: Customers want to know what you are stocking for when they are ready to buy.
Display prominently: Christmas cards sell best when they’re front and centre from latest by early November.
