Gift Shop Directory

What is it?
The Gift Shop Marketing Directory contains details of 4,783 independent gift shops in the UK and everything you need to know about them. Easy to use, comprehensive and scrupulously researched, the Gift Shop Marketing Directory is the essential marketing manual for the gift trade.

Who buys it?
The directory is aimed at anyone who supplies the retail trade with a giftware product (importers in the UK, wholesalers and manufacturers of giftware, and overseas exporters) or a giftware related service. This DIY marketing manual will save the giftware supplier years of research.

How can I use it?
The directory contains essential information of each gift shop, which will enable you to effectively sell to them: name of shop, address, phone, often the name of the owner/buyer and type of goods stocked, website address and email address. There is sometimes advice to gift suppliers: a description of the shop, what they specialise in, number of lines/products they carry. You can simply mail and/or phone the buyer/owner of the gift shop, or supply the details to your representative to follow up. Selling becomes easy when you have this vital information. Please note that the name of the owner buyer is given in about 55% of cases, 2,930 website addresses, 2,590 email addresses..

Cost and Format
The cost is £199. The file is supplied in a dowloadable format and will run on any computer with Adobe Acrobat Reader which is supplied free. Please note that you cannot generate a mailing list from this file, nor will it produce labels. If you wish to have a mailing list, generate labels etc, then we can supply you separately with a mailing list.

What they say about the Gift Marketing Directory

A useful source book for giftware suppliers to obtain information on gift retailers
The Giftware Association

I'm impressed with the comprehensive details relating to the various outlets. We've used every single page
Geoff Pollard, Sales and Marketing Manager for Clarecraft Designs.

We have had a phenomenal response generating in excess of ten thousand pounds worth of business, with orders still coming in. Thank you for an efficient and accurate service, we will definitely be recommending your services.
Ben Stubbs , Heart of the Country

I liked the way it was targeted. Each shop has a personal write-up as well as advice on how to approach the shop, which is a great advantage over simple lists of shops. We have used it to add to our mailing list.
Peter Guthrie, Made in Scotland

Brilliant. Very informative
Sally Daly, Glass Gramophone.

We are really pleased with it. We mailed out at a poor time of year to selected shops and had a very good response. The information was accurate and up-to-date.
Josie Brears, Two Cats to Support

The Gift Marketing Directory has proved very useful to us. We were about to pay for a list of gift shops from someone else before your book came along. So we saved ourselves lots of money and have made new sales.
Mr Gulapi, Goraj Enterprises
