May We Introduce Ourselves?
MARKET PLACE GIFTS, INC., is a sales organization which was officially established in July 1982 by Mary Doolen and Carole Rosenbaum. We have put together a solid, well structured organization that covers Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. We will be happy to discuss the possibility of a part of this territory if your needs are such.
What We Do
In order to give the manufacturers the best possible coverage we have each rep calling on all kinds of stores. Having a small area, the rep is able to see many more people. We feel the more sales people — the more people seen — the more business!!! We honestly believe that there is no one in the Midwest that gives better road coverage than we do.
Many established and long lasting customers are the core of MARKET PLACE GIFTS, INC. as we have sold and serviced them frequently. Our customers know that they can rely on us to keep them aware of what is up to date and important in the gift market. We have listed some of our customers in the event you have any questions concerning MARKET PLACE GIFTS, INC.
