Not every attraction has the luxury of a large gift shop. But that doesn’t mean you can’t create a high-performing retail offer.

Whether you’re working with a pop-up kiosk, a ticket-desk display, or a few shelves by the exit, it’s all about making smart decisions. At The Souvenir Collection, we help attractions design compact product ranges that fit small spaces, offer big value, and are easy to restock.

Here’s how to build a shop that punches well above its footprint.

Focus on Small, Practical, and Packable

Products that sell well in small spaces tend to be:

• Lightweight and easy for visitors to carry

• Low in cost (great for impulse buys)

• Multi-purpose (keepsake and functional)

Top picks include:

• Notebooks in A6 or A5 formats

• Pencils and pens (especially in sets or bundles)

• Keyrings and badges

• Tote bags (can be displayed folded or hanging)

• Travel mugs and water bottles

• Fridge magnets with destination artwork

All of these can be branded or customised and have strong visitor appeal across all ages.

Create Vertical and Flexible Displays

Think upward, not outward:

• Use tiered plinths, pegboards, or hanging racks

• Display in portable units that can be moved or folded away

• Use QR signage to offer extended online ranges through our sister company, Merchr

Stock Little, Replenish Often

Order what you need, when you need it and keep your offer fresh without overloading your shelves.

Make the Most of the Space You Have

Small space doesn’t mean small sales. Let us help you create a compact, creative, and custom collection that works wherever your shop is located.
