Gift Baskets for Administrative Professionals Week

Administrative Professionals Week (also know as Professional Secretarys Week) will be celebrated this year April 22-28. Although it may seem like it’s a bit late to start promoting your gift baskets for this holiday, you might be surprised at how many bosses forget all about the holiday until the last minute. So if you’re willing to put together a small presentation, including samples of your work, you still have time to visit some local businesses to see if you can sell some gift baskets!

One further tip: retail florists have been promoting this holiday for years. And of course, they are promoting that flowers be sent as a token of appreciation. If you aren’t able to pull off a full scale program for this year’s holiday, try to get a copy of the advertising literature that your local florist is sending to businesses. Check out the prices for the arrangements that they promote. This may give you some good information about how to promote your products next year. And mark your calendars: Administrative Professionals Week is always celebrated during the last full week in April. In 2008, this will be April 20-26.

For more information about this holiday, visit the International Association of Administrative Professional (IAAP) web site. If you have any ideas about successful promotions you’ve run in past years, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
