I donate baskets to charities as a way to reach a wider customer base. I also contact real estate agents if they would like to have a closing gift basket. I give them the first one and after that they order them. Building contractors also use gift basket as thank you.
Thank you for those encouraging words...yes...I am old school as well...word of mouth works well....social media is a win win situation... again thank you for those inspiring words and all of your gift baskets are beautiful as usual...it is a learning experience for me as well...😊😊
LBE, I’m so glad for your encouragement. I really needed to hear this because I get so discouraged sometimes, you have shed so much light on how to get my business up and running. Thank you so much. I pray that your business continues to prosper in every way. 🙏🏾❤
Yes. Yes. Yes. I keep cards in my pocket of a custom vest I wear every time I go out. I love your faith component in your business and life. Continued success.
your videos are help, encouragement and comedy all in one! Please know how much I appreciate the effort that you make in each and every video! I have never done a festival; please consider sharing more tips about setup, items needed or advantageous to have, etc. Thanks again! 🏆
Best advice I can give you is to go and attend a few to see how the flow of them are, and check out how others set up. As far as how much inventory, how I’ll be based on trial and error when you actually attend one as a vendor
I about fainted yesterday when researching on being a vendor at a local event and it was 175.00 for a 7 x 6 space for 1 day...I may have to sell out of the back of my SUV. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, so many people won't give advice because they feel it will hurt their business. I believe that we all have the ability to help others.
I used to make and donate large, themed gift baskets for a silent auction for a club I belonged to. I wasn't selling baskets then, but this is an idea for promoting your business, if you belong to a club/organization. I made gift baskets for other events for them, too, and everyone loved them. It was a military organization, and they held an annual amputee veterans' golf tournament to raise money for veterans. When Game of Thrones was popular, I made a Game of Wines basket. When I was looking for ideas, I walked into a grocery store that had Game of Thrones mead with a beautiful GOT label. That's where I got my theme! I put that, a bottle of wine, and gourmet shelf-stable foreign food snacks based on some of the GOT characters,things you'd snack on while drinking wine, and two Dollar Tree wine goblets, coordinating paper napkins and matching small paper plates. I decorated the basket with faux grapes around the rim, and made a medieval-looking paper shield label with Game of Wines printed on it. I don't know how much the winning bid was, but people told me how beautiful it was and it got a lot of attention. The last one I made for them was a huge by the fireside for two basket (the event was in late August so I went for Fall-themed stuff). It was inspired by finding a Fall-colored throw blanket at 90% off, then at the same store, very long marshmallow toasting sticks, and maple-flavored marshmallows. Two Dollar Tree wine goblets and other items completed the basket. I love to walk into a store to find inspiration for gift baskets!
Very informative..I love to talk but I get so scared when it comes to promoting and that's definitely something I've been praying about and asking God to work on me about. The best marketing tool is always and foremost word of mouth. Thank you your guidance, LBE. Blessings to you and your success!
Love!! Excellent, informative video!! “The proof is in the pudding”. Your life story is your success!! Absolutely enjoy watching you Bloom!! You’re priorities are Right!! Your faith and trust in the Lord is so inspirational!!! Keep walking the straight and narrow path!! ❤️🙌💰
You're right Word of Mouth is Key! If Im not telling everybody I create gift baskets Im telling them my son in running back LOL. Promote , promote, promote.
I definitely understand taking naps. I have done that many of days, when I was creating baskets and centerpieces. Unfortunately I wasn't blessed with people being impressed by my talent. People always wanted a discount and when I would explain that my time is worth money they would refuse to order from me . Especially family. But, in the last few years things have gone bad for me financially and health wise.. So, until I can get back on my feet I can only dream of success.. But, GOD BLESS you for all that you give us with your videos. You encourage a lot us of especially me...🥰🥰
Thank you for saying what you said about putting your baskets out there and make your business go okay sometimes when I make my baskets I put the business cards inside of my baskets and sometimes like when the customers come to me for a basket I'll give them my business card so I try to put myself out there thank you a lot it helped
To LBE, I truly needed to be encouraged we basket gift makers from time to time need reminders to keep going and always be optimistic in order to make our business be successful 😊
Doing it now, a d I,missed out outside some mothers day money, because I was doing it alone. But lesson learned.I am jumping on fathers day now.I thank you for helping me.I have learned a lot. I am working on a second location for the holidays now.because my area is good ,I just have to find someone like me to sell at another location.
Yes, I have a full time job and have my basket business so I’m always exhausted. Thanks so much I am going to vendor events, festivals, and also been selling at my job. I definitely need to promote more. Some festivals in my area are free or less than $30 so I love it!
Thank you so much for this video I am finally doing another craft fair with a different organization I have been trying to get with for two years the work with day cares and the community I am hoping to sell but to reach alot of people .
Thank you For those encouraging words I tell you I know that that is what I needed to hear Talk more and get out more especially for the festivals thanks so much for sharing
Heyyyyyyyyyyy I’m old school to. But you right about everything you saying. I’m just gonna get me a website for my basket. I just don’t want to design my website. I tell people on my job etc about my baskets. I did hit the streets a few times. I will admit lately I haven’t been work hard lately on my business. But your so right about what your saying. I do join craft fairs as well. Some craft fair getting expensive. I made up flyers as well. I so love your channel you keep it real. Thank you.
Hi Eulaine! I really appreciate how you share your talents and information with us! May I ask, do you require a contract when dealing with your realtors? I hope that my question is specific enough 🙂
How did you know how much inventory to bring to your first vendor event? Thank you for your inspiration, and for sharing your fun day-to-day LBE life! Aloha from Hawai'i! 🌺
