The number of places where you can buy baskets is enormous, and in some cases, it causes conflict.

Here are some comments I’ve heard throughout my 19 years in the industry.

“Look for baskets from wholesalers for the best prices.”
“Buying flea market baskets means you’re giving clients second-hand goods.”
“Dollar store baskets are cheap and look cheap.”

The basket shown on this Baskets site is similar to the first type I purchased, and it was bought at a floral wholesale supplier just five minutes away from my store.

It was one I knew was designable as is or spray paintable or could be lined with fabric. Outside of that, I was pleased to find a supplier close to my location.

How many of you have wholesalers that close to your workspace? It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes you can get very lucky in other areas. A basket supplier can be found:

Baskets are the mainstay of your business, and that’s why you put so much consideration into finding the perfect vessels to attract clients, increase sales, and maintain profitability.

It’s important to consider much more before choosing baskets, including the specifications mentioned on this page.

One point I must ask you to avoid, if possible, is to become so overwhelmed with the options that you buy nothing. Start by making a list of the baskets you believe will be easy to work with and sell.

A few square shapes and oval shapes is good to start, or perhaps rectangler- and circular-shaped ones are better. Decide and buy.

Where did you buy your first baskets, and is that place still a favorite today?
