Regal Greetings and Gifts Expert Review by Brian Garvin and Jeff West

Regal Greetings and Gifts is a Canadian card and gift company that was started by William McCartney and his soon-to-be-wife in 1928. McCartney had always been interested in making his own cards and he first began by selling them through a small Toronto-based card company. Over time Regal Greetings and Gifts grew to form their own stores until 2005 when the business owners decided to restructure the company. Instead of being brick-and-mortar based, Regal is now a catalogue, e-commerce and direct sales company that makes its profits with the help of a base of Independent Sales representatives from across Canada.

Becoming a member of the Regal Greetings and Gift group can be done in two ways. You can be an Associate Member and order merchandise for your customer base (typically coworkers, friends and family) through a single account to get a bigger merchandise discount. If you don’t mind dealing with the inventory, this is the best way for you to be a member of the Regal group. If you are looking to make money with Regal Greetings and Gifts, you can become an Independent Direct Selling Representative.

It is free to become an Independent Direct Selling Representative with Regal Greetings and Gifts. You can purchase a few catalogues if you think it will help your sales, but you aren’t required to put down any money to get started with the company. Instead you simply earn a discount off of the goods that you sell. This means that, depending upon the monetary amount of your orders, you receive them at a discount—that you keep. It is sort of like earning a commission. You don’t earn any money for orders until your order level totals more than a hundred dollars.

Here is how it works. You talk to your customers and take their orders. Then you turn around and place the orders with the company and distribute the merchandise when you receive it. When you sell between $100 and $449, you receive a fifteen percent discount off of the cost of your order and you get to keep the difference, which is between $15 and $52.20. If you sell between $450 and $999 you are given a twenty percent discount off of the merchandise and you keep $129.80.

The good news is that, once you are a member, you are given the support of the Regal Greetings and Gifts company. You will be given website and order support and training through the company website. The company provides you with a website to visit to learn how to drive sales, how to retain your customers, etc. The best part about this company is that they do not pressure you to make large commissions or recruit others to sell under you.

If you live in Canada, this is a very straightforward opportunity that is backed by a reputable business. Depending on your commitment and sales skill you could end quite lovely discounts and earn quite a nice living being an Independent Direct Selling Representative.
