<p>This information is just as important as the gift baskets you create. The answers provide prospective clients with a comfort zone, letting them know in advance that their order will be handled with care and that you&#8217;ll respond to them in a timely manner.</p>
<p>I created a frequently-asked questions area for this site as I found myself responding to similar questions about <a href="http://www.giftbasketbusiness.com/faqbasics.htm">starting a gift basket business</a>, <a href="http://www.giftbasketbusiness.com/faqbasics5.htm">how to select products</a>, and <a href="http://www.giftbasketbusiness.com/faqindex.htm">other important basics</a>.</p>
<p>What do site visitors and customers ask? Put yourself in their shoes. If you were buying a gift basket for the first time, what would be your concerns? That&#8217;s what you consider when creating your own FAQ page.</p>
<p>These questions help get you started.</p>
<li>What are your hours of operation?</li>
<li>Do you ship to other countries?</li>
<li>Can I pick up the basket if I&#8217;m in the area?</li>
<li>Will you make a custom order if I want something that&#8217;s not shown on your site?</li>
<li>Can I exchange one product in a basket for another?</li>
<p></p>
<p>Also include questions that haven&#8217;t been asked but will give visitors ordering ideas that they haven&#8217;t considered.</p>
<li>What type of non-basket gifts do you make?</li>
<li>I&#8217;m a meeting planner. What types of gifts and baskets do you create for conventions?</li>
<li>How do you handle orders that are to be delivered discreetly?</li>
<p></p>
<p>Add a portion of your FAQs to a brochure for mailing to prospects and with deliveries.</p>
<p>The more information you provide, the easier the <a href="http://www.giftbasketdictionary.com/order.htm">order</a> process becomes for the person who found your site.</p>
