and

FREE FREIGHT

Risk-Free Trial

Our Risk-Free Trial gives you 90 days to see how well Cardthartic sells through for you … dedicate 24 pockets and we fill them with half-dozens.

After 90 days, you will find that sales have exceeded expectations and you will want to add pockets, or you remove the line and pay only for what has sold.

Buyouts

Replace another manufacturer’s line with Cardthartic and we will pay you $3 for each pocket we are replacing.

Free Fixtures

They’re our strongest branding tool!

With the smallest footprint in the industry, our elegant fixtures were designed to hold our 4.5 x 6.75” cards exclusively. And those powerful Made in the USA crowns!

You will receive fixtures FREE when you purchase the product to fill them.

Credit for Trying

Our exchange program is the most liberal in the industry! We give you 100% Credit for Trying a design because only through trial & error will you learn what designs turn fastest in your store.

Every time you place an order, we’ll ask that you replace your slower-movers with designs that may turn faster.

Credit for the replaced slower-movers will be immediately applied to the new order.

In It Together

We proudly split our cardthartic.com consumer sales income with our Retail Partners. Here’s how that works: At check-out, consumers are asked to “Provide Local Store Name” and, when they do, we split the income with a credit to that store’s Cardthartic account.

Happy Retail Partners

“For more than 25 years, Cardthartic has worked so well for us because their lines cater exactly to our customers’ own sense of style and sophistication.”

Mark Burkett and Stan McCulloch
Owners of Mongrel in Richmond, VA

“We have such a variety of customers, that we really need to offer a variety of lines. Carrying all four Cardthartic lines helps us do that. Our customers consistently tell us they’re grateful for the wonderful selection we carry.”

Louise Oxendale, director of Cards and Gifts
Oxendale’s Market in Minneapolis, MN

“It’s gratifying to hear customers say how much they love our card assortment and how they can always find their favorites to re-purchase and still find something new and unique. We know our best sellers, and keep them in stock. And never let merchandise go ‘stale’ by keeping it in one location too long.”

Susan Keller, Director of Retail Operations
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, FL

“Our customers love Cardthartic cards because they are so simple and really touch hearts. And I believe one of the reasons they do so well for us is our rep’s great service. She always picks just the right designs for our store.”

Melanie Moore-Shaw, Co-Owner
Wild Birds Unlimited in Greenville, SC

More Information

Is there a minimum opening order and reorder?2021-06-14T14:18:19-04:00
Yes, $150 opening and $100 reorder.
What if I already have too many card lines?2021-06-14T14:19:14-04:00

Ask yourself if all your current lines are turning as quickly as you’d like. If not, we guarantee that Cardthartic will. To make space for Cardthartic you can replace another manufacturer’s line and we will give you a $3 credit for each pocket we replace.

I don’t think I have space for another fixture2021-06-14T14:21:01-04:00

Grab a ruler and see how small 14 sq. in. of floor space actually is! Cardthartic cards are just a little smaller than average and the fixtures are made one row of pockets taller than others, so you will generate more income in less space. Our fixture has the industry’s smallest footprint.

If we may say, Cardthartic fixtures are so great-looking they actually dress up a store … the crowns promote that your store carries cards, “Made in the USA using Soy Ink on Recycled Paper.”

Can I start with the smaller, 64-pocket?2021-06-14T14:21:45-04:00

It’s understandable that you want to limit your risk. Let us just tell you, retailers who go with the 64-pkt quickly see how well the cards sell and say, “I wish I would have gone with the 96!”

What if the cards don’t sell?2021-06-14T14:22:11-04:00

Our goal is that Cardthartic will sell better than well for you. We want to quickly become a customer favorite. So we continually refine the mix, giving you credit for trying designs that turn out to be slower-movers for your store and replacing them with designs that will hopefully turn faster.

How does your exchange program work?2021-06-14T14:22:55-04:00

Every time you start a reorder, we propose you reference the ship date on our rack headers to identify designs that are not selling as fast as others. You’ll take into account the occasion (i.e., retirement is not going to move as fast as birthday) and then note on your order the quantity of cards for which you would like a credit. That credit for slower-movers will be automatically applied to your reorder.

I don’t want to be stuck with an auto-ship program!2021-06-14T14:23:14-04:00

Cardthartic doesn’t auto-ship. For your sake and ours, we want you to have the best selection for your store — cards that meet the needs of your customers and produce the most income for us all. We want all those pockets filled with designs that move.
