HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY START THE NEW YEAR

You’re certainly not alone if your 2008 sales were lower than what you sold in 2007. Though it was challenging, there are ways to gain market share in the first half of 2009, which will help to increase income in the second half of the year.

Wednesday’s newsletter reveals how five designers view what is achievable and how they will proceed. Consider their words inspiration to kick start your new year.

BABIES BRING BUNDLES OF SALES

Newspapers concentrate on many of the same stories when the year changes, including who gave birth to the first baby within each city. This is good news for you, because the stories also concentrate on the popularity of gift baskets for babies.

This article at the Gift Basket Business blog includes a link to a baby story and also shares ideas for creating baby baskets through a series of videos you can watch online.

IS IT TIME TO CONSIDER COLLABORATIONS?

One way to sell more gift baskets, as mentioned in Wednesday’s newsletter, is to split the profits with a retail store owner who will provide space to display your designs.

This option may be good for you, especially if you’re home based. That’s why selling gift baskets outright at a wholesale cost may be a better deal for you today than selling on consignment.

Here’s an article with information that helps you make a decision about this lucrative opportunity.
