Why should you plan Stock Control of your greeting card displays?

Stock Control displays are a smooth and effortless method of operating a card display simply and more efficiently than line buying.

A Stock Control display from IC&G will improve the efficient management of your plan, offering you the opportunity to lower costs, reduce stock levels and enhance sales.

How IC&G's greeting card Planning Service works...

Each design that is supplied will come with a Stock Control ticket. The ticket has a Rack and Pocket location. You will also be supplied with a Grid plan and a computer generated picture of how the display will look. These tickets and the grid plan make stock management, analysis and reordering effortless.

When the design needs to be replenished, simply take the ticket with the pocket reference on and use it to reorder - this can be done in one of 3 ways:

1) Post the ticket to our office.

2) Call our Customer Service team.

3) Order via our customer account webshop.

The account webshop allows direct access to your individual bespoke display and our entire product catalogue.

As an IC&G customer you can: Place your order from the display. Place an order using our online product catalogue. Track your orders. Review your order history.

On receipt of your delivery, each design will come with a new Stock Control ticket to help you locate the design on your display.

The plan and service I have received since switching to IC&G’s Stock Control, has resulted in increased sales compared to my old supplier. IC&G have provided me with a bespoke service to my exact requirements. The quick turnaround of reorders, was another major factor in switching to IC&G’s Stock Control.
