BASKETS OF MEDIA ATTENTION

It’s amazing to see how many gift basket stories appear throughout December in newspapers worldwide. Some stories are all about designers, and others try to convince individuals to make their own gift baskets. It’s quite a collection.

Wednesday’s newspaper encourages you to get your 15 minutes of fame before the season is over. Seven designers I know have increased sales this year from media exposure. You’re next.

JOIN THE CLUB

What if you had a standing order every month from a minimum of 10 companies to deliver a specific gift basket? That’s what can happen when creating and promoting a gift basket club.

This blog article explains more and provides inspiration from other retailers who’ve built the model so you don’t have to.

DESIGNERS’ RATES ARE RISING

About five years ago I was asked if it’s possible to make $30,000 a year in this business. That answer, which you’ll find in this GiftBasketArticles.com article, is still true, but what’s more better, the potential has grown even in this economy.

Eleven designers who I’ve worked with in the past three years have increased their sales to average $92,000 a year, with one third of the gross amount deducted for expenses.

As you read the article, substitute the $30,000 figure for a higher amount you can achieve on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis.

    Just the thought of increasing the business would be great—

    Nina,

    Thinking about increasing business is one thing. Moving forward to make that thought come true is the key.

    We’re all in that same place, every day. Push past your fears to make increased business a reality.
