Gift Baskets for the Politicians
A friend of mine who was very involved in this year’s elections is looking for a new job and she’d like to help out some the politicians who she supported. We talked about her checking out the offices of those politicians who won their elections on November 11th. The assumption is that those local offices will need to keep operations running even when the winner takes on his/her new responsibilities.
It occurred to me that these same politicians might be a source of business for gift basket businesses this holiday season. For the winners, there are probably many people who need to be thanked and acknowledged for their support. A gourmet gift basket would be a perfect way of saying “thanks”.
Why not take a gourmet basket to that local office along with your business cards and a “menu” of baskets that you offer. Before you go, try to get the name of the person who runs that office, then leave your basket and information with him/her. The local addresses for the politicians in your city are available on the internet. Who knows: you might get a holiday order!
