Greeting Card Distribution Business Canada The Original Poster Company

Please Note: The Original Poster Company in Canada is a Distribution Business Opportunity.

Service Offered

The Original Poster Company Limited was founded in the UK in February 1991. Originally distributing posters and greetings cards of the same images, the growth of the greetings card market in the early 1990’s led the company to focus its future development purely on cards, and the development of a franchised distribution network.

By 1993 the entire UK territory as well as Ireland had been franchised, and the company looked overseas to further its growth. France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal and Italy were quickly added to the portfolio, and later the USA and Canada were joined by Australia, Brazil and Mexico to make OPC the world’s largest franchised distributors of greetings cards.

The company now supplies over 28,000 retail outlets with its products, via a network of over 270 franchisees worldwide.

Support and Training Provided:

The main goal of your training with The Original Poster Company is to ensure that you have practical training in operating the franchise from day one. The initial training provides the framework on which the prospective distributor and their Business Development Manager (BDM) can build.

The training is detailed in Operations Manuals, provided as part of the business. BDM’s provide their support in a number of ways; in person, by telephone, newsletter and email.

Our Missions Statement:

Our mission at OPC is to build successful businesses and friendships. We will achieve this by delighting our customers with wonderful innovative products and by providing our distributors with a rewarding and fun way to earn a good living. We operate with commitment to integrity and to the highest standards. As well as being professional and efficient, we aim to promote a human and friendly environment in all our dealings with all people and to be the employer of choice for all of our staff.

Our UPS in the Marketplace:

The quality and diversity of our product portfolio is unique in the sale-or-return sector of the greeting card industry.

Here at The Original Poster Company we work hard to create innovative and distinctive card ranges, which although very different, combine well as a family of products offering something for everyone.

By constantly developing groundbreaking new products we will always stay one step ahead of the competition.

We have ranges of Everyday cards to suit each individual market. We also have a wide selection of Occasions, Relations, Spring Seasons and Christmas promotions.
