Stacking products atop each other elevates a gift basket’s height and your sales. If you don’t know how to tier your products, now’s a good time to learn so that your technique is perfected before the holiday season arrives.

BASKET BUYING 101
After 18 years, I still break into a sweat when entering my favorite wholesale basket shop. I’m excited to see the new styles, shapes, colors, and sizes available for my clients, and I fill my cart with assortments that I know will sell quickly.

Make Time to Watch and Learn

The Gift Basket Tutorials site was launched with videos showing birthday, thank you, and get well baskets (among others) for one reason: These three themes consistently sell every day.
Once you master these styles, by watching the demos and adding your own touches, it’s easier to graduate to grand designs that start with the basic foundation skills.
The same is true about the bowmaking video. It shows how to make a one-ribbon bow. After mastering this technique, you can add two or three ribbon layers and top your gift basket with a bow that resembles a work of art.
One video soon to appear on this site is the one showing how to add glasses to your baskets.
Expect new video releases at Gift Basket Tutorials in June.
