Gift Basket Snacks Can Also Be Healthy

by Shirley George Frazier on November 11, 2008

Is a Snack Attack gift basket a theme you offer?

It’s one basket I show on the 10 Dazzling Designs DVD.

I chose it as one of the 10 because it’s very popular worldwide.

Snack Attack includes all types of high-calorie, fun, “I don’t eat this all the time but this time it’s okay” items, such as:

  • Popcorn
  • Potato chips
  • Pretzels
  • Nuts
  • Twizzlers
  • Chocolates
  • Penny candies
  • Sour balls
  • Cheese and crackers
  • Jelly beans
  • This sweet-and-salty combination makes a perfect pairing for delivery on a sunny or rainy day. Companies that sell this traditional mix are found at GiftBasketWholesaleSupplies.com.

    Customers order this gift basket for three reasons:

    1. They know the receiver loves to snack.

    2. They’re not sure what to buy, so the snack basket is a good default.

    3. They love the basket’s appearance (colors, fun container, etc.) and know that it will put a big smile on the receiver’s face.

    One gift basket company featured in HealthNewsDigest.com is focusing on all-healthy snacks – fruits, nuts, organic chocolates – to position themselves as offering healthy alternatives to the above-mentioned snacks. You’ll find many organic items at OrganicWholesaleSupplies.com.

    This is something you can also offer your customers, but be cautious before buying lots of healthy treats. If your customers aren’t ready to buy, it’s not time for you to invest your money on items that won’t sell.

    I suggest that you buy just one or two items in this category, create designs, and add photographs to your Web site. I also suggest that you ask customers if such products are of interest.

    It’s not that customers aren’t interested in being healthy. Many of them get their health-based products elsewhere while considering gift baskets as fun and frivolous.

    The bottom line is to focus on what customers want, not what trends suggest.
