Satisfy Customer Demands for Low-Cost Gifts Lesson 2
In Lesson 1 we discussed the keys to providing low-cost gifts. In this lesson, we suggest that you look for gifts that require light labor.
Gifts that fit in this category require some wrapping or enhancement, but not much. 1. Each year, stores such as Costco and Trader Joes sell chocolates that are delicious and popular. Wrapping a box of truffles in printed cellophane with a dashing bow works well for low budgets. 2. The plastic portfolios found in office supply stores were intended for documents, but make wonderful gifts when filled with snacks and wrapped with bow.
I created such a design for a real estate firm for their associates during Administrative Professionals Week.
3. Fill a tin box, imprinted box or gable box with candy, cookies or other affordable snacks. Find out where to get a wide variety of containers from our directory, Contain It! Listing over 100 wholesale sources you will discover companies that offer baskets made of willow, grapevine, bamboo, birch, twig, coco bark, mesh, shabby chic, galvanized metal, wood, ceramic, paper mache and wire.
You can also crates, starter trunks chests, themed boxes, tins, movie reel tins, trays, planters, bird cages, picket fence, picnic baskets. You'll find companies that carry containers in all types of shapes: round, rectangular, hexagonal and even some shaped like the major states of the USA.
As soon as you place your order, download it right away, day or night, and click on the company websites to see what they offer and other information. Get your copy now. In Lesson 3 we'll discuss another type of low-cost gift that will satisfy your customers.
Blessings,
