Innovation in the 21st Century & Beyond
As the leader of the greeting card industry, Hallmark leaves its mark on more than just cards. Donald J. Hall, Jr. and David E. Hall, both grandsons of the founder, continue the legacy of strong family leadership and innovation. Don steers the company as president and CEO, while Dave leads the wholesale products side of the business.
Even as the company approaches its 100th year, the Hallmark brand continues to evolve. Quality family entertainment started with the Hallmark Hall of Fame and lives on with the Hallmark Channel television network that reaches millions of households with family-oriented programming. And on the greeting card front, by combining the shared emotion of music, the surprise of a loved one's voice, or the excitement of motion with the power of a greeting card, our Cards With Sound, Recordable Cards With Music, and Cards With Motion are transforming the industry once again.
Today, Hallmark products can also be found at more than 41,500 retail outlets domestically and online at Hallmark.com. The company publishes in 30 languages, and its products are available in more than 100 countries around the globe. Hallmark Gold Crown® stores, the company's network of 3,300 independently-owned card and gift specialty stores, bring the most extensive selection of Hallmark products to your neighborhood.
We've come a long way from a man with empty pockets, two shoeboxes of postcards, and a dream. But most importantly, we've held onto the enduring beliefs and values that fill the basic human need to connect with others.
