Participants can initiate and take part in discussions about gift store operations, marketing strategies, staffing practices and other aspects of their business. A variety of categories such as “Customer Service,” “Tradeshow/Mart Discussion,” and “What Should I Sell,” makes the forum easy to access and use.
