Networking:
I was wondering if I could speak with a few hospitals that have several locations? We are working to improve our receiving processes and I need to speak with others. Thanks, Marlene Siegman, Director, Volunteer Services and Merchandising, Gift Shop Operations and Children’s Art Project.
We regularly receive questions regarding the best Magazine Vendors – do you have any to share?
Can you send along any suggestions or references for POS systems with chip credit card ability. We are possibly looking into a new system. Thanks, Harlan Schenbaum, Gift Shop Supervisor/Buyer, The Gift Shop at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula
Please contact us, so we may share your expertise and contact information with these Gift Shop Managers, if you are willing to share your experience. Thank You!
