About Retail Consulting Services
At Arista Card and Gift Stores, our mission
is to operate a nationwide chain of first class card and gift and
“collectibles” stores.
We carry Enesco collectibles and a variety of gift giving supplies
... plus card and gifts for every occasion! Through our family
of fantastic staff members and satisfied customers, we will grow one
store at a time!
New Opportunities
We are also concentrating on the
consulting portion of our business to help others
open Card, Gift and Collectible stores. The experience we have gained
in opening and expanding our own stores can help you to succeed, too!

Licensing & Franchise Opportunities
Our licensing division links together our consulting services
and the retail wholesale division. This is when a card and gift store wants
to use our name on their card and gift store. This could be for existing
stores or new locations, assuming the operator passes our requirements. We
offer our consulting services for free in exchange for getting their greeting
card business for our wholesale divisions. We mix the philosophies of Mom
and Pop stores with the corporate structure of the big boxes to make a successful
combination.
Becoming an Arista Card Store licensee is beneficial. There
is no cost to you. Unlike a franchising agreement there are fewer rules and
regulations. We are not card manufacturers, like some other companies that
are trying to develop retail name. We are retailer through and through.
We simply want to help you build you businesses. Since our name is on your
sign we are going to do everything in our power to help you succeed. In fact,
we even pay for your new Sign!
In our stores we are constantly making changes as you can
not stay idle in this competitive market. We will share these changes with
you and let you know what works and does not work.
