Celebrating Women in Sport

January 17, 2025 Bare Cards

Identifying the need

Being married to an experienced Greetings Card Sales Agent has its benefits when identifying gaps in the market - especially when those gaps include important themes like celebrating women in sport.

Introducing Our Sustainable 'Push the Limit' Trifold Sporting Range Birthday Cards

Once this gap had been identified, we realised that we had a unique opportunity to use our trifold concept to provide customers with something never seen before in the industry. Our Push the Limit Birthday Cards showcases 36 sporting and leisure pursuits across a wide range of activities. The concept allows us to produce a panoramic, landscape image which spans across all three leaves of the card, creating a stunning visual effect when displayed. We've even been told that they could be kept and hung as art work - which would add another dimension to the sustainability that Bare Cards offers!

There's a lot of sports within the 36 designs; we've included popular sports, such as football, rugby and tennis. There's a series of watersports like surfing, windsurfing and swimming. We've also thought about and included Winter Sports such as Skiing, Snowboarding, Ice Hockey and Skating. For the dare devils, there's cards which showcase more extreme pastimes like rock climbing and sky diving. For the speed demons, there's a racing section featuring superbikes, motocross and rally cars. Finally, for the less physical sporting heroes, we've included the more recreational activities such as darts, snooker and horse racing.

Main product image shows all three leaves of the trifold birthday card for female swimmer. Card shows four female swimmers diving into a laned swimming pool on a background of colourful paint splatters. The caption on the card reads 'Happy Birthday'. Beneath this is the Push the Limit logo with the words displayed on a multicoloured paint splatter.

Focus on The Female

The amazing success of the Lionesses in the Euros is just a drop in the ocean when it comes to the talents of female sporting heroes in the UK. Strong women, inspiring enthusiasm at a grass roots level, is something that the greeting card industry has yet to promote and we're proud to have produced cards within our Push the Limit Range that showcase just this.

Our female sporting designs specifically celebrate women in the following sports: Basketball, Boxing, Cycling, Golf, Gym, Skating, Rock Climbing, Running, Surfing, Swimming, Tennis and Football.

However, the range also includes a number of non-gender specific images which would appeal equally to women, such as Cricket, Racing, Skiing, Snowboarding, Sky Diving, Windsurfing and Darts!

The Added Bonus of the Bare Cards Patented Concept

As with all our cards, there is no need for a separate envelope, as the posting pages are incorporated into a self-sealing design. This means that we can fully illustrate them and the added bonus to our Push the Limit Range is that all the posting covers are related to the sports that they promote; the tennis cards feature a tennis court, racing cards feature a race track, winter sports cards a snow scene and so on...
