Baskets, pre-packaged foods, cellophane, and enhancements — you’ll find all this and more through wholesalers outside of your area, but have you located a florists’ facility in your own backyard that provides alternative inventory?
If not, keep searching. You’re missing out on a bounty of items that can be purchased on site a minimum of six days a week.
My region includes four such wholesalers, with the closest being five minutes away from my workspace. They have a $30 minimum. Their baskets are shallow and not gift basket friendly, but gift merchandise and enhancements are attractive and plentiful.
You won’t find everything required for gift basket design at every local wholesaler, but it’s still good to know each one’s location and what they sell.
How many wholesale florists are in your area, or are you still searching for local suppliers?
