sits down with Scott Hill

Gibbons Company department store recognized a growing shift in customers’ buying habits and in direct response to this, launched its website in June 2009. Paula Clarke, CEO, explains, “With the frantic pace of life that most individuals are faced with, economy of time is paramount in their daily plans. We have brought our store to our customers by providing an overview of what is available in-store to their desk tops and laptops. Add the convenience of having goods delivered to directly to a customer’s home or office the next day and we have really contributed to their quality of life.” A unique offering on the Gibbons Company website is the Personalized Gift Card. Here, you can design and create your very own Gift Card! And it’s so easy; just upload an image of your choice from your computer (a favorite photo of a loved one, pet, car, company logo, etc), add your own special message and Gibbons will print your personally designed and created gift card, for the desired value, and make it available to you with 24 hours. It provides a very meaningful gift. Paula Clarke adds, “We also offer a Personal Shopper service. Catrina Sims is available to assist customers with specific requests such as corporate gift purchases, multiple gift card purchases and holiday/event gift shopping.” Fashion for men, women, juniors and children are core to Gibbons Company’s business model and they have secured brand names that meet the lifestyle needs of Bermuda with quality and value at the forefront of their decision making.
