Love Kate's 10th Birthday!
Unbelievably, it has now been 10 years since Love Kate’s was
created. We have caught up with Kate to reflect on a decade of sending
and receiving ‘cards & gifts with love’. Ten years ago, Kate virtually
stumbled into this industry, looking for a new challenge. Kate now
considers this challenge to be her biggest passion (and her third
child), as she has managed to create an online greeting card shop that
her customers seem to love almost as much as she does. To recap, Kate
runs Love Kate’s with her husband Chris and a small handful of wonderful
staff, here in sunny Cornwall. In case you’re not familiar with Kates
business (baby), Love Kate’s offers customers the choice to shop for
greeting cards and gifts online via Ebay,
Amazon
or their web shop. After 10
years of hard graft, business is booming! Over 110,000 customer orders
were dispatched at Love Kate’s just last year alone.
Kate is feeling very nostalgic as she prepares to celebrate Love
Kate’s’ 10th birthday in a few weeks. Kate says “I am so
thankful to the thousands of customers who have enabled my dream to
become reality. Our aim was originally to deliver cards & gifts with
love. This still stands, except now I’m proud to offer a record-breaking
range of cards and gifts, delivered with 10 years of experience and
endless appreciation for our customers.” Love Kate’s has established
fantastic relationships with their suppliers, which has helped to fill
two storage units full of amazing cards and gifts. Some of Kate’s
favourite card publishers include Second
Nature, Talking
Pictures, Woodmansterne
and many others. Kate feels that “It is important to possess a variety
of stock, which is why we are thrilled to finally offer the huge range
that we do, as it means there is something for everyone”.
After reflecting on the past, Kate begins to look forward to the
future. Kate states that “we hope to build our Love Kate’s brand and
continue to showcase our unique design-led range of greeting cards, as
well as building upon the relationships we now enjoy with our publishers
and customers” After 3650 days of Love Kate’s spreading cheer throughout
the greeting card industry, we would like to wish them a huge Happy
Birthday for the 17th of September! We wonder which card Kate will
choose for her baby (business) this year?
