The AVG
The AVG is a voluntary work group to the most important manufacturers
and publishers of greeting cards in Germany, founded 1972 as
a non registrated association.
The AVG does not distribute merchandise, but undertakes duties
for participating companies who could not complete these alone
or without difficulties. These include market research and advertising
as well as all forms of greeting card promotions.
The AVG is the point of contact for the whole greeting card market and all related groups connected with it.
Any requests to the AVG from outside are transferred to the relevant companies with membership.
The AVG gladly dispositions itself as mediator.
