"socio-demograhic, the fact +80% of card purchases are by females adds to the lack of 'getting it' and its hard for them to understand that for many people xmas might be a budget of 80 quid for 6 loved ones and card factory allows them to fill an entire basket of cards and goodies"
Come to think of it, where i live, Bishops Stortford, I hardly ever see men in there, you really hit the nail on the head re females shopping,.
Also the £££ cost is very true. It also dawned on me that while i can afford dearer cards aka Clintons, I asked myself why should i / do i spend £££s on a card that is going in the bin a week later. Huge waste. Also what turned me onto CARD was the quality increased too without much of a price rise.
The one thing of note with my local store tho is that it is very small and as a result very limited with some of its offerings. I found the anniversary cards and surprisingly the mothers day cards to be very small in terms of choice..
my two penneth !!!
Good luck all and for those that do, Happy Easter
