Ridgefield, CT (PRWEB) April 25, 2006

Pawtucket, RI – Whether Top Ten Lists on late night talk shows or lists of top movies, cars, TV shows, athletes, ideas or just fun rankings of any kind, people like lists and Cardsmart card and gift stores, where every card is half price everyday, is launching a fun new series of cards called “Check the List.”

One list, Top 10 Things You Discover When You Turn 30, include:

         . Life doesn't end

         . You still don't get any respect

         . You no longer know all the bands on MTV

         . Dad made some sense after all.

Another list, 10 Great Things About Being In Our Family, include:

         . It makes you look normal, relatively speaking

         . No matter what you do, people will understand

         . Family discount at the therapist

         . No problem getting a secluded table at restaurants.

Petter Etholm, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Cardsmart made the Entrepreneur Magazine list of top ten fastest growing franchises, and we got great pleasure from that, so we thought we’d make some top ten lists for our valued customers as well. The fun Check the List series is in keeping with the dedication of Cardsmart franchisees nationwide to bring customers the best cards at the best prices."

The Check the List line of 20 fun cards will retail for $1.49 each, or half the price it would cost at most retailers.

The Check the List selection will offer fun lists for 30th, 40th and 50th birthdays as well as From the Group and Just for Fun. Check the List cards include 10 Signs That You May Not Be the Stud That You Used to Be, 10 Ways to Have Fun After 50, 10 Reasons Why Golf is Better Than Sex and many more.

Etholm said, “Check the List cards are fun, interesting and great conversation starters that both inform and entertain. The hilarious lists are in good natured fun and will delight both sender and receiver of the cards.”

Cardsmart Retail Corporation, headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is a national chain of franchised and company-owned stores that offer consumers 50% off every card, every day. Featuring a full-line of 20,000 beautifully designed greeting cards, Cardsmart's value-oriented strategy has developed an expanding base of loyal and appreciative consumers.
