How to Market Your Gift Baskets in the Summer

bring your business cards to market gift basketsTraveling by car, plane, and train for personal or business reasons lets you market your gift basket business in more ways than you can imagine.

Last year I shared ideas on marketing gift baskets while driving. How many of you turned that information into an action plan?

In the past I’ve heard about problems with the magnetic signs that adhere to car doors, the type that’s placed just below the driver’s side window.

If you’re wary of buying such signs, you can purchase the plastic type, about 10 inches long and 3 inches high, that attaches to the inside of your rear windshield. I’ve traveled with that type of sign, placing it in rental cars.

You can also market while flying. Business card distribution occurs when you start a conversation with people in your immediate area.

There’s also luggage marketing. If your luggage is inspected, a few prominently-placed business cards may encourage inspectors to keep one. The worst that can happen is that the inspectors don’t take a card.

In the days when I traveled by air with sweets and snacks in my luggage to conduct gift basket classes (I still conduct them, but not with food in tow), my bags were always inspected, and cards were taken.

How do you plan to market your gift basket business this summer?
