Here’s a roundup of recent gift basket stories reported on the net.
1. What is it about gift baskets that make some people grab happy? That’s what I asked myself when learning that a Connecticut woman was arrested for stealing two gift baskets at a hospital Christmas raffle.
Here’s the story, which also says she tried taking other items but was unsuccessful because the items were tied down.
Must we travel with our glue guns in order to cement gift baskets to tables? I can see all of us now, retrieving the glue gun from a belt holster while looking around the room and daring anyone to come close.
2. A Rhode-Island based designer aggressively marketed her gift baskets this past holiday and was rewarded for her being proactive. The story is found here in Providence Business News.
Although the holidays are over, this retailer’s action plan is one to consider for your yearly plan to boost sales.
3. Terri and Wally August, owners of Fancifull Gift Baskets, are partnering with a non-profit group in a huge fundraiser to “give back to the community and help expand the arts within inner city neighborhoods.”
I bet many of you donate or partner with a charity. If that’s not yet part of your overall plan, perhaps the article will provide insight on how to create a partnership that spreads joy for everyone.
Tomorrow, I’ll attend an event with more than 30 corporate executives whose firms donate time and money to local charities. I’m going because I want to learn how they create these initiatives and find one to join.
The event is just $25, a great investment to mingle with business execs I would not meet otherwise.
I found the event in the newspaper roster of upcoming meetings. Perhaps your local paper prints the same type of list that’s to your advantage to review to find similar events that support charities and your business promotion.
My thanks to Cindy Carothers for alerting me to a broken link in the 1-800-Flowers.com story I talked about yesterday. Here’s a new link to the story which hopefully is working this morning.
