Hallmark Created the Holidays!

In terms of a very successful market development strategy model, Hallmark is one to follow. There is a holiday for everything: see below for a complete list of holidays created by Hallmark to sell more cards. I'm not sure I need to say more after you review the list. It speaks for itself!
