Gift shops

Hi Patrick…here is some information on our gift shop, if you need more information please let me know.

·         We have a gift shop in the lobby of the Holland Center, a satellite location at the Orpheum Theater and a system in place to sell or help the visiting artists sell merchandise.

·         We have a separate Retail department under Finance that runs the gift shop, does the ordering and handles artists’ merch.

·         In the shop the most popular merchandise is jewelry and scarves, music related statues and gifts.

Thanks,

Ashley Voorhees

Hello fellow Tessiturians! Posted this to the Marketing forum last week but didn't see any responses, so here's another go...

Just an informal questionnaire for you all.

Do you have a lobby gift shop? Or some other form of merchandising operation? Who manages it? Marketing? Ticketing? FOH? What kind of "stuff" is the most popular?

We are slowly but surely trying to introduce a gift shop to our lobby but at this point, we're not sure who should be in charge of it and what kinds of things it should have. There is a great grassroots effort on the part of our production artisans to sell their own creations, but there is also a desire to have Rep-branded merch and show-specific merch.

Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!
