In this training, Karen Waksman, founder of Retail MBA, will provide you with tips and strategies on how to get your product into Hallmark Stores.
How to Sell to Hallmark Stores
Hallmark Stores is a retail chain that is known for selling cards and holiday gift cards. However, they also have a wide variety of other products in their stores. This makes them a great option for those who have gift items to sell.
Tips and Strategies for Becoming a Hallmark Stores Supplier
When it comes to becoming a supplier for Hallmark Stores, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are some tips and strategies from Karen Waxman:
- Don’t ignore Hallmark Stores just because they are known for selling cards and holiday gift cards. They have a wide variety of other products in their stores, so if you have a great gift item, you should definitely consider selling it to Hallmark Stores.
- Hallmark Stores have both corporately owned stores and individually owned stores. This means that you can approach the individual store owner or store manager and see if they would be willing to put your product into their store. This is a great way to get the brand recognition of selling your product to Hallmark Stores, but it is only for an individual store, not for all of their stores.
Getting Started with Selling to Hallmark Stores
Hallmark Stores is a great option for those who have gift items to sell. With both corporately owned stores and individually owned stores, there are plenty of opportunities to get your product into Hallmark Stores.

Transcript of This Training…
Learn everything you need to know to become a Hallmark supplier
Today I want to talk about a question that comes up all of the time in my workshops and classes.
People always ask me,
“Karen, how do I get my product to the Hallmark Cards? I have this great product and just think I’d love to just get into that retailer. Do you have any quick tips or strategies and things to consider about Hallmark?”
What you can sell to Hallmark stores
But the truth is, Hallmark can be amazing for people who have gift items. The fact that they have so many different types of products in their stores, they don’t just have cards.
There are many advantages once you become a Hallmark supplier
I try and teach people how to go after as many retailers as possible and making serious money from them. Sometimes, retailers like Hallmark are great because all of your competitors haven’t thought about selling their product to them. So if you have a great gift item, explore Hallmark because a lot of competitors don’t even consider it, and never become a Hallmark supplier.
Why you should be selling to Hallmark
They have stores they own and so forth. They also actually have individual on-store, which basically means that the store owner can buy for that individual store because they have corporate buyers and then there are some Hallmark stores that you can go to and seriously just get in your car, go to those stores, talk to the person who owns that store or the store manager and see if you can potentially get your product into that individual store. That’s a little bit different than some other corporately owned retail stores.
How to get your products into Hallmark local retail stores & become a Hallmark supplier
With Hallmark, there are people who own individual stores, and so for those, you can actually just go there, and see if the individual store owner would be willing to put your product into their store and ultimately still get brand recognition of selling your product to Hallmark. However, it is for an individual store and not for all of their stores. That’s something to consider as well.
