Store Spotlight: Seagull Book

Written by Miva | Jul 27, 2011

Finding a one-stop shop for inspirational gifts can be difficult at times. Many online stores of this type only carry religious-themed items, while others carry inspirational-themed, but no religious-themed items. This week’s Store Spotlight, Seagull Book, is unique in that it carries both: religious-themed books, movies, music, and gifts, as well as general fiction and non-fiction, home décor, children’s school supplies, and more.

Founded in 1987, Seagull Book caters to both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the general Christian community at large, and over the years, has grown from a single brick-and-mortar location to twenty-five retail outlets and a Miva Merchant-powered ecommerce store.

When searching for an ecommerce solution, Miva Merchant was chosen, says Seagull Book Online Shipping and Sales Manager, Jason King, because of its customizability, low maintenance, and cost effectiveness.

“Miva Merchant fit very well with what we were looking for as a small business with limited resources,” says King, who adds that the module system and CSSUI are among the greatest advantages.

From historical fiction to inspirational devotions, children’s DVDs to Baptism-themed items, Seagull Book’s more than 3,000 products offer a wide variety and selection.
