Satisfy Customer Demands for Low-Cost Gifts

Lesson 3

In Lesson 2 we learned that gifts that require little to no labor are great low-cost gifts.

In today's lesson we suggest you create gifts that require minimum time to assemble, but are impressive.

 

1. Put a few snacks and sparkling cider on a silver tray, wrap with cellophane and finish with a bow and suddenly you have a classy, but affordable gift. This design was ordered by a hotel manger to give to visiting VIPs.

2. When a hotel manager requested a $10 gift to give her regular guests at New Years. I filled a cub tote with a perpetual calendar, cinnamon tea and cookies. My total cost was $3.25.

The great thing about placing products in a bag or box is that you don't have to worry about color coordinating the packaging. Wrap all the products in tissue and place them in the bag or box. You're done!

3. Hooray for Hollywood can be used for a wide variety of gift-giving occasions. Fill a Hollywood gift box with typical movie candy and a bag of microwaveable popcorn. I also added a pair of sunglasses from a novelty store.

To discover sources for your cellophane, ribbon and enhancements, get our directory Wrap It!  In this directory you will find companies who offer specialty packaging for the gift basket retailer, such as decorative nested boxes, trays, containers, designer printed cello, basket fillers, ribbon, shrinkwrap, raffia, organza bags and more. The best part of all is that you will be able to download it right away, day or night, and click to the companies websites immediately. Get your copy now.

In Lesson 4 we'll discuss another way to satisfy customers with low-cost gifts.

Blessings,
Flora
