Practical Support for Gift Shops with Heart

For over 30 years, Purchasing Power Plus has brought together retailers and vendors who care about more than just the sale. Retail with Purpose is our next step—created to support the unique strengths and challenges of hospital and pharmacy gift shops.

Whether you’re a longtime part of the PPP community or just discovering us, Retail with Purpose opens the door to tools, inspiration, and connection tailored for the one-of-a-kind space you lead every day.

Why We Created This

We know that hospital and pharmacy gift shop retailers wear a lot of hats. You’re managing inventory, volunteers, tight budgets, limited space—and still finding ways to support your customers with care.

Retail with Purpose is here to help you do all of that, with:

  • Bite-sized education sessions

  • Real-world merchandising tips

  • Peer-to-peer conversations with other buyers

  • Tools and resources built specifically for your store

We’re not here to add noise. We’re here to give you practical, thoughtful support you can actually use.
