In the UK, we send over 55 cards per head of population every year, and you could have a share in that business.

Appletree, is the oldest established greeting card franchise in the UK and has a well-proven business model that can help you grow a very successful business of your own. As an Appletree Franchisee, you are responsible for distributing cards to independent retailers in an exclusive geographical territory, taking care of merchandising, stock levels, invoicing and payment collection.

No previous experience is necessary as full training and support are given. You will need to be able to drive and have your own vehicle. The franchise can easily be run from home and requires minimal storage space for stock.

It's up to you how big you want to grow your business, but the more time and effort you put in, the greater the rewards. You can choose to start a new franchise area from scratch, or you may prefer to take over an established area from a retiring franchisee. The greeting card market is currently worth £1.2 billion and growing. How big a share do you want?
