How a national jeweler turned a seasonal add-on into a proven sales driver.

A major national jewelry retail chain came to MaxiePlush with a clear goal: give customers a reason to buy during key gifting windows. We developed a custom plush premium that paired beautifully with their in-store presentation, drove incremental add-on purchases, and created lasting brand recall long after the transaction was complete. Year after year, the program renewed — because the numbers spoke for themselves.

A 23-year program that has raised over $100 million — and counting.

One of the most successful cause-related plush programs in retail history wasn't built in a day. It was built through deep partnership, consistent quality, and a product that consumers were genuinely proud to buy. MaxiePlush has served as the manufacturing and strategy backbone behind one of the country's most recognized charity plush programs — designing the product, managing production, and helping our partner scale the program to national reach over more than two decades.
