Liz
Allen has more than 26 years experience in
global marketing and has created award-winning
new products, brand re-launches, and merchandising
programs.
Her
background includes all phases of strategic
marketing, brand development, competitive
analysis and product distribution in the health
and beauty and consumer goods industry. In
2007, Liz left the corporate world to become
the CEO and co-founder of Exotic
World Gifts, an online import business
that opens markets for artisans in developing
countries. Liz is committed to applying her
corporate experience with her heart’s
longing, which is to make a difference in
the world and turn her passion into action.
Her vision is to create sustainable income
for thousands of artisans in developing countries
by sharing their distinctive and authentic
hand-crafted gifts and be a good corporate
citizen. To that end, Liz promotes the concept
of Compassion Shopping™, which she says,
“empowers each of us to make a difference
in the world and receive a beautiful product
with a personal story behind it.”
Helping
others is our passion. Experiencing diverse
cultures is enriching. Hearing Artisan stories
is heartwarming. From these experiences we
bring you authentic treasures rarely available
in the US. We support distant villages by
offering you fine handcrafted items rich in
tradition and cultural diversity.
We
are one world with many beautiful things to
share and we bring to you these extraordinary
connections with those from less fortunate
places.
Exotic
World Gifts invites you on a journey to
far away exotic places where you can experience
a remarkable collection of handcrafts that
take your breath away; fascinating and diverse
people; ancient and exotic cultures. This
is where the real treasures are found.
