Gift Basket Retailers Filling Orders Fast
Remember: Enter the gift basket business contest. Deadline is Monday. Get details here.
“Corporate spending is less, but they are still ordering baskets,” McCreery said.
“I get 800 gift baskets in one order. Instead of $50 per basket, they want to spend $35.”
That’s the order outlook from a gift basket designer in Arizona, as reported by TucsonCitizen.com in a recent article.
It’s better news than featured in other publications, the ones that seem to look for retailers who aren’t putting their best foot forward to make the best of a rough year.
There’s no doubt that getting corporate clients to buy is a tough sell. However, their budgets aren’t slashed to zero, and that’s why the Arizona-based designer who’s filling $35 orders will be the one that corporations buy from when revenues are higher in the coming years.
In the past I’ve recommended, in the newsletter and on this blog, offering clients gifts and baskets in varying amounts – from approximately $20 to $200 – so that you are their gift solution specialist no matter what the economy.
It works for the Arizona designer, and it will work for you.
The above photograph shows most of the grand prize items to be awarded in the gift basket business contest. A few more items will be delivered today.
Thanks to all who entered. Only three will receive prizes, but all of you are winners.
