Tips to Generate Profitable Holiday Ideas

 Put together a pre-holiday
brainstorming session, whether on your own or with
staff members.
It's one of the best ways to generate profitable
ideas.
A Midwest-based gift basket company
recently held their own session and decided on
the following to increase holiday profits.
Here's what their brainstorming session included.
-
Offer a designer's dozen (similar to a baker's dozen). If the client
orders 12 baskets, the thirteenth is free.
-
Give a 5 percent discount on orders over $300.
(Note: Adjust this amount if needed depending on your geographic
location.)
-
Promote a drawing for a $50 spa-at-home basket or an
intimate-night-for-two basket.
Anyone making a purchase of
$250 or more is eligible to win.
|
Offer clients incentives that you can
give without going bankrupt, yet be powerful
enough to generate early orders.
Congratulate yourself as
each sale is finalized; then keep working to sign up the next
prospect.
