Wisconsin Eagle/10091259

DENVER - WisconsinEagle -- The Greeting Card Association (GCA) is offering 24 sessions designed for greeting card makers during its two-day Virtual Workshop & Retreat to be held November 12^th and 13^th. While the greeting card category is experiencing resurgence at retail during the current pandemic, many unexpected challenges are causing publishers to pivot and approach doing business in new and innovative ways.

"The Workshop is designed to bring the industry together not only to celebrate greeting cards but to impart tangible strategic lessons that help publishers solve problems unique to our industry," according to Dave Phipps from Avanti Press, 2020 workshop chairperson. "We surveyed GCA membership and built sessions based on their feedback to provide insights into the industry but also training in technology, collaboration, social media, and more."
