Where is the best place to buy greeting cards in Australia?

The local newsagency near to you is likely to be the best place to buy greeting cards in Australia and here is why:

1. Range. Typically the local newsagency will have a better range of cards for a deeper range of captions. The bigger the range the more options you have for find the card you will love giving and they will love receiving.
2. Ease of shopping. The local newsagency will typically offer more space for comfortable shopping. You can browse easily, take your time and not get pushed by people in the aisles.
3. Customer service. In the local newsagency, human delivered customer service is not far away. You know the owner of the shop has curated the range for local shoppers – not some office person in another state, or overseas.
4. More likely Australian made. Local Australian newsagents are more likely to stock locally made cards. If local jobs matter to you, this is important. Locally made cards not only support local jobs, they reflect Australian words and sentiments more so than any card designed and made overseas.
5. Local. Shop in the local newsagency and more of what you spend stays in the local community and if you live in the local community this will matter to you.
6. Loyalty. Many local Australian newsagencies offer a loyalty program that helps you save money on cards. Ask and find out if there are loyalty options that suit you.

While you could consider buying cards from a discount shop, supermarket or big department store, it is the local newsagency where you will find more satisfaction we think and we say this as newsagents ourselves. We take pride in the cards we choose for the shop, how they are displayed and the value they offer our customers.

So, when you need a greeting card for a birthday or some other occasion, shop at a local Australian newsagency and see for yourself the difference available to you. And, if you’re not happy, let them know, so they can improve their card offer for local shoppers.

Plenty of newsagents will offer you a pen for writing on the card and even sell you a stamp to make posting the card easy.
