August 2015

Fourth quarter is not quite here, yet we are entering our busy season!  Registration for The Event in Atlanta is now open, travel incentives are being shared (check back as we add and update!) and we are preparing our seventh issue of PULSE.

Each issue of PULSE brings a fresh opportunity, to work with our Retail Members on an issue that is reflective of our community of hospital gift shops.  We are looking for a few passionate retailers to contribute!  For our seventh publication, we would love to interview a Gift Shop Manager who has successfully incorporated apparel into their shop.   Does your shop have a Santa Fe vibe?  Are you willing to share pictures and ideas for dynamic displays?  Perhaps, you have some expertise to share on the new Credit Card requirements?  Please contact us to share your ideas and inspiration.  You might just be the next feature contributor!

A few things we are loving this month:
