Promote Hometown Passions; Promote Your Gift Basket Business

June 12th, 2011 at 06:31pm Lorie Obernauer

The summer season is the time for special events, fairs and festivals in your hometown. Whether your business serves a large metro area or a small suburban community, summertime offers many occasions to support local activities and promote your business.

Check with your Chamber of Commerce and find out what events are scheduled to take place in your community. Then, get involved. Most community festivals include opportunities for business owners to display their wares. Set up a booth and show your unique gift basket designs. If the booth rentals are expensive, share a booth with another business.  If the event will include any type of raffle,  submit one of your baskets as a prize. Be sure to take plenty of gourmet food samples to the event. Consider a small giveaway for everyone who stops at your booth and be sure that it includes all of your business information. You can even pass out coupons that could be used for future purposes.

Don’t pass up opportunities to showcase your unique designs and get to know potential customers!
