Gift Basket Business Stories, Sales, Updates

December 18, 2008 · Filed Under Drop Shipping, Industry Information · Comment 

Just a few tidbits of information as you prepare to cross next week’s finish line.

The Drop Ship Vendors report is newly revised with updates to current listings and includes new listings, too.

Drop shippers are a very-important part of gift baskets, especially since this category allows business men and women to sell without inventory.

It also lets designers satisfy customers when inventory is low (there are other reasons, but these two are high on the list).

Thank you goes out to dozens of you who ordered Drop Ship Vendors since September. If you ordered between September 1 and now, contact me by Monday, December 22 through the form at the bottom of this page.

I’m re-checking all information and will Email the revised report to you on Monday. Everyone who ordered the report since September will receive a copy as long as you contact me through the form. This procedure is a cross checking method for my staff.

Another designer has moved from home to store. This one’s in Canada, and the story is featured here in TheLindsayPost.ca. Read the quick article today if you can spare about five minutes.

Two points about the article:

1. The first sentence says that the designer’s business card states “We Deliver Smiles.” That’s a terrific warming technique, and I bet this designer distributes her cards daily to keep sales high. What slogan have you committed to your cards?

Similar slogans can be added to brochures. You’ll see some sample brochures on this page.

2. The designer decided to begin selling wedding favors along with gift baskets. Hopefully, she’s researched that market before making this investment. Favors may be a natural extension, but it can also be a money drain if clients have not requested it.

Always research, then proceed according to what you learn.
