What our customers say...

“We’ve worked with Queen Bee Designs for many years. Queen Bee have consistently designed and published our best selling Christmas cards.”
Julie Rowley 
Thames Hospice
 

“Queen Bee is the King of local scene cards. Great advice and top selling designs, what more do you need for Christmas?”
Caroline Welch 
St Mary’s Hospice

  

“Experience has proven that where local designs are concerned, it’s the quality of the artwork and not the price point that’s the key for us. The demand for Queen Bee’s local Christmas cards last year far exceeded the sales of cheaper local cards we had published in previous years!.
Angela Wheelan
Hope House Children’s Hospice

  
 

“It's always important for hospices to make that connection with our respective communities whenever we can, what better way than to offer Christmas scenes depicting the towns and villages we support.”
Siobhan Robinson
St Wilfrid's Hospice Chichester

“Last Year we published eight designs for our local towns, and we also had tremendous success with another snowy scene depicting a steam train and a spitfire; two historic icons that are particularly relevant to the area.”
John Egan
Naomi House Children’s Hospice		  
  “We’re delighted by our relationship with Queen Bee. Each year the latest crop of fresh designs creates a real buzz in our shops with both consumers and staff alike. We now have something extra and different to the generic Christmas cards that are on sale everywhere else.”
Sarah Offill
Helen and Douglas House
“The experience and expertise Queen Bee have in this specialised market and the quality of the artists that they have to offer has been invaluable to us. As a hospice retailer, I relish the opportunity we have to offer a bespoke local product that the larger national charity retailers can’t compete with.”
Nicola Wood
St Michael’s Hospice Hereford		  
  “The sales figures have been impressive, we needed to repeat order a number of designs to replenish our stocks and I’m really looking forward to discussing fresh ideas for next year.”
Tracy Stanley
Julia’s House Children’s Hospice
“In the past we had tried local scenes, with only moderate success. Since working with 'Queen Bee' we have expanded our range, sold more packets than ever and at a higher retail price!
The quality of design seems to be the key, being able to auction the paintings will raise valuable extra funds and, most importantly, I'm delighted to say that we have completely sold out of all our Queen Bee cards!”
Tim Stewart
Pilgrims Hospice		  
  “Cards sales were fab, I'm really pleased with this year’s choices. We're looking forward to working with you again in the New Year.”
Lynn Reeves
Willen Hospice

“Working with Darren and 'Queen Bee' has always been a pleasure and I look forward to the beginning of each year when we can start discussing and planning what our next exclusive designs are going to be. Darren cares about our business as much as I do and he really goes above and beyond to make sure we get the results we are looking for. We’ve enjoyed many successful cards from 'Queen Bee' and they have become a real asset to our yearly range.”
Nick Farthing
Hospice in the Weald

  
 

“We’ve been working with Queen Bee Designs exclusively for our Christmas Cards for four years. We’ve learnt from our customers that they want to support us by buying our cards, but they don’t always want a helicopter on it. Having 18 charity shops across the county, our customers love a card which shows a Devon landmark, close to them. For example in 2017 we did a card of South Molton square, which quickly sold out. For 2018 we have increased from 5 designs to 10, with half having our helicopter/s on), and increased our order from 3,750 to 10,000 packs. We can’t recommend Queen Bee Designs more highly because the end product is always unique to us.”
