SHOW NEWS
Stationery By the Numbers
Last spring, Stationery Trends was honored to partner with
the Greeting Card Association (GCA) to be named the official
publication of *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo. That event will
again come to vibrant life April 27 and 28, 2023, co-located
with SF NOW in the picturesque Fort Mason Center for Arts &
Culture in San Francisco. During the winter shows, there will
also be *Noted pop-ups at Atlanta Market, Las Vegas Market and
NY NOW so attendees around the nation can experience the
distinctive community vibe, to say nothing of incredible, indie
up-and-coming stationery ranges.
As part of Stationery Trends'
partnership with the GCA, the
magazine conducted an industry
survey June 16 to July 11, 2022,
with 243 retailer respondents.
The results speak to the stationery
category's inherent strength, no
matter the state of the world.
And there were a few surprises - according to 47% of
respondents, Gen Xers, not Baby Boomers or Millennials,
comprise their top customer demographic.

Avanti Press named 2022 Vendor of the
Year for The UPS Store
The UPS Store, Inc., the world's largest franchisor of retail
shipping, postal, printing, and business services centers,
named Detroit-based greeting card publisher Avanti Press
its 2022 Vendor of the Year on September 20.
The award was the result of a comprehensive survey to the
entire network of centers across the USA. The survey sought
feedback about all vendors on multiple questions; the vendor
with the highest compiled result earned the award. This was
the second time Avanti Press was named the winner, having
been selected in 2019 as well.
At the award ceremony, held at this year's National
Convention, leadership from The UPS Store cited " flawless
customer care, exceptional support " and reinforced the way
the network was supported by the greeting card publisher
during the significant upheaval prompted by COVID-19.
" We are proud to accept this company award, " shared
Chip Owen, Executive Vice President for Avanti Press. " It is
especially significant for the sales representatives who serve
the centers in-person from coast to coast. They are major
influencers in the survey result. "
