Welcome to a New Kind of Support for Gift Shops that Give Back
At Purchasing Power Plus, we’ve spent over 30 years building community and connection between retailers and vendors who care. Now, we’re taking that mission further.
Retail with Purpose is a new initiative designed to uplift and support hospital and pharmacy gift shop buyers — wherever you are in your journey.
Whether you’re a longtime PPP member or just discovering us, Retail with Purpose is our way of expanding access to inspiration, tools, and peer support — all thoughtfully created for the unique world you work in every day.
✨ Why We Created This
We know hospital and pharmacy gift shop buyers wear many hats. You often juggle inventory, volunteers, limited space, and tight budgets — all while trying to serve your community with heart.
Retail with Purpose is here to meet you where you are, with:
-
Bite-sized education sessions
-
Real-world merchandising tips
-
Buyer-to-buyer conversations
-
New tools and resources tailored to your space
This isn’t about more noise — it’s about meaningful, practical support you can use.
🌟 What’s Happening This Summer
As part of our 2025 rollout, we’re launching special in-person events at summer markets, including:
-

-
Las Vegas Market (July 27–28) – Floor Party, Fashion Showcase, and buyer education sessions. REGISTER HERE.
These events are designed for hospital and pharmacy gift shop buyers of all kinds — and we’d love for you to come meet us there!
