How to Support Charities and Increase Business with Gift Baskets

December 19, 2008 · Filed Under Donations and Charity, Industry Information 

Did you read a story on a newspaper blog about elementary school students who created numerous gift baskets for the needy?

The article’s no longer available as a link, but it was a reminder of how highly gift baskets are regarded. It also serves to create several ideas for 2009.

1. Partnering with schools to create gift baskets for events, charities, and fundraisers.

2. Working with pet shelters to raise awareness about abandoned animals through an “adopt and get pet gift basket” program.

3. Collaborating with local businesses and community groups or charities that appreciate your help in creating gift baskets for their activities.

I find that such events serve to increase my promotions, decrease inventory and supplies that cannot be sold, and support causes close to my heart.

I’ll participate more in these opportunities and hope you’ll consider the same.

What similar activities have you found to be beneficial?
