A Simple Way to Add Local Retail to Your Guest Experience
Tourism Kamloops’ Retail Resale Program offers curated merchandise packages that make it easy for partners to add local souvenirs to their guest experience.
For many visitors, the small things are what stick—the sticker on a water bottle, a postcard sent home, or a keepsake picked up on the way out the door. Those items become part of how people remember a place.
Tourism Kamloops’ new Retail Resale Partner Program is built around that idea: making it easy for local tourism businesses to offer those takeaways—without needing to run a full retail operation.
The program provides curated packages of Kamloops-branded merchandise, selected based on what already sells well. There’s no need to source products or plan inventory—you simply choose a package that fits your space, display it, and sell at suggested retail pricing, keeping the margin on each sale.
At its core, the program is designed to be simple and manageable:
- A low-lift way to introduce retail without running a full shop
- Proven, high-demand Kamloops merchandise
- Flexible package sizes to suit your space
- Easy reordering of individual items as needed
For accommodation partners especially, it fits naturally into the guest experience—something small to pick up at check-in, in the lobby, or on the way out.
A few key details to keep in mind:
- Packages range from approximately $160 to $500, making it easy to start small
- Program launch: April 10
- Order by: April 20
- Delivery by: May 15, ahead of peak season
At the end of the day, this isn’t about becoming a retailer—it’s about adding a simple touchpoint that enhances the visitor experience and creates a bit of additional revenue along the way.
