Gift Shop Sales

Gift shop orders may seem like a small thing to worry about, but in every launch so far we get orders within the first day or two after it is rolled out. Some hospitals are getting $10,000 and more in gift shop orders with little or no marketing at all. Of course, the online gift shop isn't primarily about the money anyway; it's about making patients happier. When combined with cheer cards, it's especially powerful.

You might think that your volunteers won't like the idea of accepting online gift shop orders. Our clients have found that once they're shown how easy it is, your volunteers will love it! Unlike phone-in orders, they don't have to mess with credit card machines, cash registers or voicemail. All they have to do is click one button and they're ready to deliver fresh flowers or a teddy bear to a deserving patient.
