Housewarming Baskets Get Healthy
New home and condominium owners love receiving gift baskets with ready-to-eat snacks, but they’re also glad to receive products that help them keep a clean, environmentally-healthy home.
Gone are the days when supermarkets were the only place to buy household cleaning products. Not everyone wants a sanitizer with a pine scent.
All-natural cleaners are a huge trend for today’s homeowner. That’s why many manufacturers exhibit home cleaning items at trade shows.
If manufacturers have their way, homeowners who wash dishes by hand will throw the typical plastic bottle dishwashing liquid out in favor of cut-glass bottle designs filled with all-natural lemon or lavender colored dishwashing liquids with corresponding fragrances. These products are usually housed in six ounce containers that resemble gourmet vinegar packaging.
This type of product makes an attractive and affordable gift for your corporate customers, including insurance agents, relocation specialists, real estate companies, the recipient’s in-laws, friends, and other relatives looking for something new to welcome the homeowners.
There are more ideas for the not-so-typical housewarming gift basket, and many of the items are found at the OrganicWholesaleSupplies.com site. What’s in your new home baskets?

You may not recognize the need right now, but the housing crisis will slowly change into a boom market.

These special gifts will not only be ordered by real estate agents.

How to Establish a Realtor Relationship
One of the my favorite cable television shows is House Hunters. It’s part of the HGTV (Home & Garden Television) lineup and features a person or family searching for a new home.
As a viewer, you get to tour the inside and outside of homes throughout the U.S., all from the comfort of your seat.
House Hunters International is also a favorite. It’s the same premise as the U.S. version, touring you through homes in Spain, Italy, France, the Caribbean, and other lands.
Some homes are breathtaking inside and out. Some are perched on a hill so that a full view of the landscape or ocean are positioned perfectly through a window or back porch.
The person or family searching for a home is guided by a real estate agent, and after looking at three homes, the realtor writes an offer for the chosen home. You then see the new home owner inside of their residence months after possession, happy as can be in the new surroundings.
At the conclusion of each segment, I want to see one of your gift baskets in the real estate agent’s hands, welcoming the owners to their new home. The potential to make this come true in your business exists.
Yesterday, I talked about how the media’s mission is to focus on the negative. This is also true about problems in the housing industry. But contrary to what the media says, realtors are still selling homes and earning commissions.
It’s your goal to network with them, develop relationships, and convince them to buy a quantity of gift baskets from you each month that coincides with the average number of homes they sell each month.
Developing a relationship entails:
Adding real estate agents to your client list is a goal you can achieve.
Someone is house hunting right now. What steps will you take to make sure that your gift basket welcomes them when the paperwork is signed?
