A Brief History

Hallmark was founded in 1907 by Joyce Clyde Hall and his brothers who were all looking to capitalize on the 20th-century postcard craze. Only a short 5 years later the postcard craze had faded and the company began looking for other markets to enter. They quickly settled on selling Christmas letters and greeting cards and saw immediate success. By 1917 the company was booming and the creation of wrapping paper, by the company, would help to propel the company even further. In 1951 the company decided to diversify and began running their own television program for NBC called “Hallmark Hall of Fame.” The show has since went on to win more than 80 Emmy Awards and lead to the creation of the company’s own cable channel.
