Baby Baskets - Always Pretty and Popular
By

Adding baby baskets to your product line almost
guarantees instant sales. That's because babies are born every minute
of the day around the world.
Many people know someone who's having a baby, and that
means there will be baby showers and presents for the new parents after
the child's arrival.
Parents aren't your target market for
this petite collection. Buyers include friends, extended family members,
and office co-workers - a group with lots of money because the gift
basket is purchased through an organized office collection.
It will be easier to gain access to
this last group if you already have corporate clients.
Your contact, whether in human
resources or the person working at reception, has knowledge about expectant mothers
on staff and fathers whose wives (women who don't work at the company)
will soon give birth.
A warm and open relationship with these corporate
staffers will provide you with names, due dates, telephone numbers and other
information to help you get the sale.
My baby baskets are contained in
children's wagon and upturned umbrellas (for baby showers). I've found the
most-popular gifts to be:
|
|
Nail clippers |
Soaps, powders, lotions |
| Bottles |
Comb and brush |
| Banks |
Picture frames |
| Bibs |
Night lights |
| Mobile toys |
Lock of hair containers |
| Hangers |
Lullaby CD |
| Plush animals |
First tooth pillow |

Parenting books and items for older siblings are also
popular additions, especially when you require products that include the
entire family.
Baskets are always a main attraction as the foundation.
However, as mentioned above, I chose unique containers that stand out
among other gifts. The basket shown in the above picture, on the left,
is created using a small hamper. It's filled with diapers, toys, a plush
animal, and bib that's positioned above and in back of the hamper. What
other containers will wow the client and recipient and increase your
sales?
