About Designer Greetings

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Our story began in Staten Island, NY in the summer of 1982. After many years in the greeting card business, Jack Gimbelman seized the opportunity to open his own business with his wife, Vickie. Jack ran the sales and purchasing functions, and Vickie managed the office. The company was small - only 5,000 sq. ft. and five employees, but Designer Greetings was passionate about its product, its customers and its employees. The year 2009 was remarkable and unprecedented. In the beginning of January, the company opened a permanent showroom at AmericasMart in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, to complement its headquarters' showroom in New Jersey; by month’s end, Designer Greetings had acquired two additional companies: Glitterwrap™, a manufacturer of high design gift bags and wrap, and Red Farm Studio©, long-recognized for its niche in the gift and stationery industry in nautical/coastal and paper products. Today, Designer Greetings remains a family-owned and operated company with Steven and Fern Gimbelman heading the operation as President and Co-President/Art Director, respectively, and Vickie Gimbelman as Co-Founder/Executive Director.
