Office Closed / Holiday Hours Staffing
Dec 21^st, 2012, 3:55pm

In observation of the Christmas and New Year holidays, GCU offices will be closed on both Tuesday 12/25 and Tuesday 1/1. This includes our Card Review team members who will not be reviewing cards on either day.

In addition we will also be lightly staffed including card reviews for the entire week of 12/24 as well as Monday 12/31. Thank you for your understanding!

From all of us at Greeting Card Universe we wish you all a wonderful holiday season and bright new year. We look forward to many new cards, artists, partnerships, site improvements and an avalanche of sales for us all!

I'd like to share that we are closing out the year with a bang with 100% growth in holiday card sales compared to last year! WOW Grin

Our Target / In-Store Pickup service has made a significant contribution to year end sales helping us serving the "last minute" market and extending our holiday selling season.

Kudos all around and thank you for the privilege of selling your creations! Cheesy

Thank you, Mindy! Enjoy your holiday break and the time that you'll be sharing with your family!

A special holiday thank you to KC and Shaun -- both always helpful.

As for the 100% growth in holiday sales, that is EXCELLENT news! Congrats to all! Based on my holiday sales emails, I can see that the in-store pickup has been a success.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a bright New Year as well. I wish everyone at GCU a wonderful holiday and that the New Year brings happiness and peace to everyone here and everyone all around the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a year with no violence and tears?

I would like to also send a heartfelt thanks to the reviewers who have helped me to improve my cards, I don't know what I would do without them! Congratulations on the record sales and thank you for letting me be a part of your site. Take care, Laurie

Congratulations on the year end growth. Enjoy your vacation. Perhaps Mt. Diablo will have snow this Christmas. I grew up in the area and have family there, so I remember Diablo well. Thanks for all the help you've all given me.
