Why is a Dedicated Gift Basket Workspace Important?

by Shirley George Frazier on January 19, 2010

how do your organize your gift basket work areaAlthough I live in a large home where I decided to start my gift basket business, my thinking about how to set up my workspace was limited.

In fact, the idea of setting up a space didn’t exist. Here’s what I mean.

In the first three months of business:

  • My gift baskets were made on the ironing board.
  • Two boxes of shred found a home in the hallway.
  • A case of sausage was placed on the back porch.
  • Talk about chaotic.

    I was so happy about being in business that creating the proper atmosphere was not my primary focus, but the chaos quickly convinced me to change gears, which increased my productivity and sales.

    Whether creating designs at home or in a storage room within a shop, designating a space that allows you to create custom gift baskets or experiment with your design style is the ultimate turning point in your business.

    It alerts your mind to the fact that your enterprise is real, that you are in business to not only make money and create a rewarding lifestyle, but that your business benefits the people who are impacted by what you offer and deliver.

    When you walk into that dedicated space, you suddenly want to create a masterpiece to enhance a personal or professional relationship between the customer and receiver. Your workspace positively changes your mind. That’s why it’s important to create this special environment.

    What emotions about being in business come to mind each day when you walk into your design studio? Do not be concerned if it’s not a good feeling. Share it here so that we can offer ideas and change your circumstances for the better.
