Kate Reveals Who She Was Thinking Of...

Last week (22nd to 28th Sept 2014) was National Thinking of You week.  Organised by the Greeting Card Association, we were all encouraged to send one greeting card a day for a week. Why? To help create a wave of love - to send a greeting card and raise a smile - because receiving a greeting card makes us feel special and warm inside.

As the owner of Love Kate's the online greeting card shop, I wanted to get involved personally.  We ran an offer that was enjoyed by many in the run up to the week, giving away a special £5 money off voucher to anybody buying their seven greeting cards.  We hope, helping them to come back and shop again and spread even more love!

Naturally I love greeting cards, so the prospect of sending cards myself during this special celebration week was very exciting.  I love the concept as well that you don't need to wait for a special occasion to send a greeting card to someone.  So that's exactly what I did every day last week.  To be honest once I got going it was very hard to stop at just seven!

Kate Celebrates National Thinking of You Week

"I just want you to know I'm thinking about you..."


This week - 22nd to the 28th Sept 2014 is National Thinking of You week.  Organised by the Greeting Card Association it's aimed to encourage all of us to send a greeting card each day of this special week.  Perhaps by sending a card you wouldn't normally send, or to someone you've not seen for a while, just to say:

"Hi, I've been thinking about you..."

Kitchen table to a million

"This story was written last year; a year on and  it's amazing to see our shops are still developing and growing at pace.  In six years we've come a long way and the next stage is really exciting. We are now working with Get Set For Growth Cornwall to help us take some more big steps to grow our businesses.  One thing I know is that customer focus and satisfaction is key to everything: that's my mantra."


It was the summer of 2008 when the company Kate worked for went under.  With a big mortgage and bills to pay Kate didn’t know which way to turn.  Five years later and the online business she started on her kitchen table is set to turn over a million.
