Seaside indie co-owner reveals top performing greeting cards for customers
If you want to know what’s selling, go straight to the source – the greeting card retailer!
And that’s what PG does each month, putting the “what’s hot?” question out there to find exactly what is causing the tills to ring.
Kayleigh Hisim, who co-owns Milford Cards & Gifts with husband Sinan in the small town of Milford-On-Sea on the south coast, has an eclectic range of greetings to meet all customers’ needs.
The pair thoroughly enjoyed their trip to PG Live last week and Kayleigh told PG: “We have lots of new designs lined up and lots of ideas for the future.
“We proudly spent our Sunshine Ticket, given to us for our finalists’ place in The Retas awards this year – we chose Bewilderbeest to shop with and can’t wait for our new humour cards to land in store.”
Here Kayleigh reveals some of the top sellers in the shop…
Everyday
Nigel Quiney’s Pizazz range – “Customers buy several at a time.”
Relations & Occasions
All IC&G’s ranges – “They’re top sellers.”
Humour
Dandelion Stationery’s Words Of Wisdom collection – “Hilarious and not too rude.”
Photographic
Abacus Cards’ BBC Gardeners’ World, Springwatch and Countryfile ranges – “The spinner covering all three brands works really well.”
Children’s
All Cardoo’s ranges – “They include stickers and activity elements.”
Adult ages
IC&G’s Month You Were Born collection – “These cards are also a gift.”
Thinking of you
