For your business

Gift Shop Suppliers

For gift shop owners and buyers looking for ranges that suit their customers, their location and their shelf space.

Gift shops vary widely: a coastal holiday store, a regional main-street shop and a city gift boutique all need different things. The best ranges match the people who walk through your door.

Advice from someone who’s been in your shop

Stephen Cutts has called on gift shops across every Australian state since he joined his family’s souvenir business in 1979, and he has run a small business himself. He has seen which products earn their shelf space and which don’t. Tell him about your store, your customers and your budget, and he’ll suggest a range to suit, from the brands he represents.

He can also help you set up wholesale access and place your first order. Ask Stephen for range advice.

What to consider

  • Know your customer mix. Locals, domestic visitors and international visitors buy differently.
  • Balance impulse items near the counter with a few considered purchases.
  • Ask about minimum order quantities and reorder lead times before the busy season.
  • Check how each brand handles damaged goods and returns.
