		<description>Hi Charlene,

&quot;Wow&quot; factors, to me, are the enhancements added to each basket or gift package.

For example, a mug, beverage, and biscotti appear more dazzling when ting ting, sparklers, large bows, and other extravagant adornments are included.

Best of luck with the quote.</description>

		<description>I am working on a quote for a large corporation to send baskets to out of town executives when they arrive at the hotel. Can you offer any &quot;WOW&quot; factors for an inexpensive basket. I want to exceed the &quot;preceived value&quot; of the basket.</description>

		<description>Hi Charlene,

The shoe I use depends on the type of marketing appropriate for each business.

Baby or toddler shoe - introducing yourself or your client to a new business.

Workboot - for marketing to or use by construction firms, contractors, and architects.

Decorative shoe (the photo you see) - you or your clients send this type to interior designers, organizing firms, and woman-owned businesses.

You can always &quot;go shoeless&quot; by choosing a traditional box container or something in the Lucite family to get a client&#039;s attention or help your client get attention.

So glad you asked this, Charlene. Follow-up questions are always welcomed!</description>

		<description>What kind of shoes do you use? In some cases a baby shoe is not appropriate or the jeweled shoe in your article. Please offer some other types of shoes that would work?</description>

		<description>Hey Geena,

You make an outstanding point in your question.

What I do to keep a single shoe from going to a landfill, at least in the short term, is place a note in the bottom of the inside shoe that says, &quot;Need a refill? Email (company name) at (Email address)&quot; or something similar.

For me, it works to keep the customer connection open for additional sales opportunities.

I&#039;m so glad you commented.</description>

		<description>What do they do with an empty shoe once the goodies are all gone?  Do you give them as a pair of shoes?

At least a pair of shoes has the chance at another life after a trip to Goodwill.  A single shoe just goes to the landfill.</description>
