March 2019

We put together a new National Hospital Gift Shop Survey for 2019.  As the survey is now closed, we will begin compiling this information to benefit our entire Retail Community. Our goal is to provide you with information of integrity and value, when reporting to administration, making requests to hire paid staff,  supporting a pay increase and/or building a strong case against outsourcing your Hospital Gift Shop to a Third Party Operator.

Every PPP Retail Member that completed our National Survey by Monday, March 11th was entered to win the Echo Show.  The winner is Angela Quinn, the Gift Shop Manager, at Lenoir Memorial Hospital Cheer Corner in Kinston, NC!

Each PPP Retail Member that completed the survey by Wednesday, March 13th, was entered to win the FIRE HD Tablet. The winner is Barbara Ipjian, Gift Shop Manager, at Pinnacle Health Gift Shops in Harrisburg, PA.

Finally, all PPP Retail Members that completed the survey were entered to win one of two Echo Smart Speakers.  The final two winners were Maria Gilmore, Gift Shop Manager, CJW Medical Center Gift Shop in Richmond, VA and Wendy Brundage, Gift Shop Buyer/Co-Manager, Frederick Memorial Healthcare System, FMH Auxiliary Gift Shop in Frederick, MD.

Thank you to all 214 PPP Retail Members who participated.  We appreciate your time and input!
