Testimonials

I just recently returned from market in Atlanta, and got to see firsthand the benefits of my PPP membership. The majority of the showrooms I visited had special pricing, discounted freight, and promos available to me...all because our shop is part of the PPP program! I’m able to translate those special benefits into dollars saved, which goes a long way with my employer! The best thing is that the benefits of membership aren’t limited to big market trips, but can be of great use in my day-to-day purchases, networking, and continued efforts to bring in new ideas and fresh products.

Our hospital gift shop started with Purchasing Power Plus in January 2014. The membership fee seemed high and quite frankly we were skeptical about that expense vs. savings. Now that we went through an entire year as a member, I have calculated that we saved well over $4000.00 for the year with our discounts, and that’s after the expense of the membership fee! (What was I thinking!!!!) The added benefit of membership is checking the list of participating companies which helped us find many new companies/products that may have never been discovered otherwise. Also, the monthly newsletter is helpful by featuring new ideas and products. The membership to Purchasing Power Plus is worth every penny!! I can’t imagine why there was ever a hesitation to sign up!

There are several possible opportunities to praise Purchasing Power Plus, but the return on the investment is by far the best! We are a small Hospital Gift Shop with bigger than life dreams, and we have found that PPP is part of our success. I look at the discounts in helping us pay for shipping cost. That way we can be very competitive with the larger stores in our community. When we receive the Monthly Newsletter we immediately start looking for new and different items that we may not have tried. And the market incentives are a great way to save just a little cash on our travel expenses.
