Advantages: Good variety of products, great range of products, quality products

Disadvantages: Expensive items, dated feeling stores, poor quality of staff

Clinton Cards is one of those places that you see on the highstreet all of the time that has become a strong name in peoples thinking when they need to pick up quality cards or items for any occassion.
My wife is someone who has always been a fan of getting really high quality cards (in comparison to me who sees them as an item looked at once and then recycled) and she is a huge fan of shopping in Clinton Cards to pick up most of her family and friends so recently I have been in their stores with her and seen what they have to offer.
The products on offer are various with cards, wrapping paper, mugs, special glasses, mini cakes, pens, cuddly toys and other wrapping products. I personally found the selection to be good but I am a fan of Card Factory also and so found the products to be of the same kind of variety and quality as available from them but at a much more expensive price.
I have been in a few different Clinton stores now and found them to be well laid out and clean but found that most of them to feel quite dated and the staff to not be the most friendly or helpful and am always shocked at the prices for items that are available from so many places for so much cheaper.

Positives:

- Good variety of products
- Great quality of items
- Well laid out and clean stores

Negatives:

- Poor staff
- Dated feel to the stores
- Expensive products

Clinton Cards offers good products and variety but with a high price to go with them and in my opinion there are other stores out there worth a look ahead of these.

Summary: Shop elsewhere before going to Clintons
