Trade Greeting Cards Made Easy
Make supplying your business easier with the Card Carnival Trade Portal
If you're running a small business, you're busy 100% of the time. The last thing you need is a supplier who is difficult to deal with. That's why at Card Carnival, from day one, our mission has been to make our clients' lives as easy as possible. All our trade customers get access to our industry leading in-house orders system! We designed this from the ground up to make building and placing greetings card orders a breeze. It'll save you valuable time, so you can focus on running your business, rather than stocking it.
Read on to discover how you could benefit...
build orders across multiple devices at different times
Imagine this scenario. A shop owner spends ages putting a greeting card order together online, but then gets distracted by a customer. After a while, they get logged out of the website. When they log back in, the order is gone, and they have to start the process all over again. We've heard that story from our customers loads of times...
That's why we designed our Trade Portal to save your progress after every change you make to your basket. It means you'll never lose any progress. It also means that you can make changes to your orders at any time, and on any device.
Now imagine this scenario: You start building your order in the office on your computer. You continue to add to your basket using your iPad whilst manning the tills. Then, you finish and place the order whilst you wait for your coffee in the café at lunch.
We know which scenario we prefer
super easy
time saving interface
Ordering greetings cards can be very time consuming. At Card Carnival, we wanted to make the process faster, and save our customers valuable time.
We have eliminated a lot of the unnecessary steps that most websites have when ordering. Steps like having to view each product on its own dedicated page before you can add it to your basket. Before you know it, you've lost your place in the catalogue. You end up scrolling past the same products again and again.
As you scroll through our greetings card catalogue, if you see a product you like, you simply add it then and there. Bosh. You don't lose your place, and you've saved yourself a tonne of time waiting for web pages to load.
You also get a helpful icon on each product you have added to your basket. It means you know what is, and what isn't in your basket as you browse!
Repeat orders in seconds
Let's say your last supply of Card Carnival greetings cards flew off the shelves! You're going to want to order those products again, right? Of course you are!
But you hesitate... It means you will have to go back through the website, find each of the cards in your last order, and re-order each of them. It will take time, so you decide to do it later. Then you forget to place the repeat order altogether.
No longer!
With a single click, you can add the entire contents of a previous order to your basket! Then you can remove one of the cards from the order, or add some new ones from the catalogue. With our one-page checkout, placing the order is a breeze too.
So, at Card Carnival, what might take you an hour or more on another website, could take as little as 30 seconds (and we've timed it)
and much more...
No minimum
order sizes
We pack our greetings card designs in 6s, but beyond that, there are no limitations on order size. If you only want to order 1 pack of 1 design (6 cards), you can stop there. If you want to order more packs, and more designs, you can!
Free shipping on
all orders
We will always ship your products to you for FREE! It saves you money, and helps your business to thrive. And if your business is doing well, we're hoping we can come along for the ride!
multiple dispatch destinations
At Card Carnival, you can set up as many shipping destinations as you need! It's great for our customers that have more than one shopfront. It's also great if you prefer to have deliveries to your home, rather than business address. And, if you wanted to supply more than one business, you could do that too!

VAT invoicing
Sometimes, trade invoices aren't 100% clear at a glance. At Card Carnival, our invoices have a simple and straightforward VAT breakdown section. It might seem silly, but it'll likely save you a bit of time when you need to file your business' tax return.
