Where are Gift Basket Support Groups?
Many gift basket groups have started and ended during my 18 years in the industry. The reason for the disbanding varies.
Few groups thrive today. The ones I’m familiar with are listed on the groups’ page, and there’s a good chance that others exist but aren’t added here.
There are alternatives if you’re looking for local support but no specialized gift basket group meets in your area. Look for:
I meet with a friend each month at a tea shop to talk about goals, triumphs, and dilemmas. We accomplish more in our one-on-one meetings than we’ve ever attained at the noisy lunches coordinated by established organizations.
I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with other groups, but sometimes, two people who listen to and support each other have more power to create dynamic businesses than what’s possible through big, non-specific groups.
What’s been your experience attending gift basket groups or support groups in general?

I just started a gift basket business this year in Nigeria.It is relatively new so there are no support groups.However, i can imagine how those large meetings end up. I have found support from the internet but can’t participate fully because of the distance. I agree that it will be much more effective to meet in twos’ at most three.This has more impact.
Omu,
Congratulations on starting your business. I’ve heard from other designers in Nigeria, and although I cannot tell you where they are located, you’re definitely not alone.
Perhaps one of them will see and respond to this message, which may help jumpstart a business relationship with someone closer than expected.
I wish you the very best.
