PROFILE |
 |
As the #1 maker of meaningful missives, Hallmark Cards is the Goliath of greeting cards. The company's cards are sold under brand names such as Hallmark, Shoebox, and Ambassador and can be found in more than 47,000 US retail stores (about 7,500 of these stores bear the Hallmark name; the company owns less than 5% of these stores, and the rest are franchised). Hallmark also owns Binney & Smith (maker of Crayola brand crayons) and portrait studio chain The Picture People. It offers electronic greeting cards through its Web site, Hallmark.com, and produces television movies through its Hallmark Entertainment unit. Members of the founding Hall family own two-thirds of Hallmark; company employees own the remainder.
