THE ONLY AWARDS THAT CELEBRATE GREETING CARD RETAILING IN THE UK

The Retas were launched by Progressive Greetings magazine as an annual awards programme in 2005, in recognition of the tremendous contribution that retailers both large and small, make to the success of the greeting card industry.
 
Recognising and celebrating not only the top independent and multiple specialist greeting card retailers regionally and nationally, The Retas awards also fanfare the many different types of retailers who do a fabulous job on the greeting card front – from supermarkets to department stores, gift shops to garden centres.

Retailers are encouraged to submit entries about their shop(s) while publishers, reps and agents are urged to send in nominations for retailers they feel have excelled over the last year, ensuring that even the shyest of card retailing heroes were recognised.
 
The winners will be unveiled at a lavish afternoon awards event on Thursday 3 July, taking place in the ballroom of the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. This year, say howdy to The Retas 2025 as the event will take on a vibrant Country & Western theme. Channel your inner Dolly Parton and join the greeting card community for an afternoon of celebration, networking and camaraderie!
