How Gift Baskets for Support Staff Increase Your Corporate Client List

Filed Under Corporate Baskets, Corporate Selling | Comments Off

No matter how much a company downsizes, support staff continues to be the backbone of every firm.

This highly-skilled position, whether called receptionist, clerk, secretary, or administrative executive, is prized because the person in charge knows how to balance duties and discretion.

Selling gift baskets to large and small companies for Administrative Professionals Week begins by reviewing contacts in each company. It doesn’t matter if you know the janitor or junior vice president; the key is to ask the person for support to contact people in charge of purchasing in one, several or many departments, depending on how the company is structured.

Your inventory must be comprised of products that will reward those who serve in the front office and board room. If you’re ready to show your best, prospects will buy from you to thank their support staff for a job well done.

How to Decide If Making Gift Baskets for Stores is For You

Filed Under Pricing Strategies, Sales-Increasing Strategies | 2 Comments

It’s natural, as word gets around about your designs, for other retailers to contact you to create their gift baskets.

At first, you may be flattered.

Then you might wonder if splitting your time between your business and someone else’s is possible or if it’s a smart move, as this new type of client may ultimately become a competitor.

Your decision to accept or decline these projects depends on pre-set goals. If “no,” you simply turn down the request, but if “yes:”

  • How much will you charge?
  • Will you supply the products, or will items come from the retailers’ inventory?
  • What stipulations will you place in the contract?
  • Will you design on a seasonal basis or all year long?
  • Is training the retail store’s staff a good move or one that will cause you trouble?

    • These questions are part of the decision-making process, as setting goals and objectives ahead of time will allow you to understand the monetary benefits of becoming your area’s ultimate gift basket expert.

    ==========
