Cindy’s Newsletter for
Gift Shop Managers
Cindy’s Newsletter for Hospital Gift Shop Managers ended publication in 2025 – after 30 years and 660 issues. Each issue contained practical, usable content: monthly action plans, operating and financial templates, checklists, tips and reminders, trade show cheat sheets, salary surveys, and more. Readers loved the questions, comments, and discussion from shop managers across the country on topics such as:
- How do you handle dismissing a volunteer?
- Do you get an annual bonus?
- Best candle line? Go!
- Do you have an online store?
- Here is a picture of my newest window display!
- Is anyone using Shopify POS? Do you like it?
- Best sellers? Hot items? What’s selling right now?!
- What is your return policy on earrings?
Today, the free Newsletter Archive remains a valuable resource for shop managers seeking advice and insight on optimizing operations and revenue.
We invite your to browse and search the archive at Newsletter Archive!
