Nice to meet you!
I’m thrilled you’re here. This has been, hands down, the best career and job of my life and trust me, I’ve had a few. If you’re as tired of working for someone else like I was, we’re going to get along just fine. Or, maybe your an empty nester ready to start something for yourself.
Whatever the reason, I’d be happy to work with you to decide if getting into the gifting business is the right answer for you. It’s not for everyone, I’ll be honest. There are some things you should consider before jumping in. It’s hard work, its not all ribbons and bows :)
You can jump right in and purchase a package if you know you’re ready or schedule a complimentary consultation with me and let’s talk through your ideas.

Now is a great time to start a gifting business because there is a growing demand for personalized and thoughtful gifts, especially during holidays and special occasions. This demand is coming from personal and business clientele to the tune of a multi-billion dollar industry.
And, with the flexibility of working from home, starting a gifting business can be a great opportunity for those looking to turn their passion for crafting and creativity into a profitable venture.
Additionally, with the exploding amounts of online shopping, it is easier than ever to reach customers and promote your business through social media and e-commerce platforms.

From the plan there will be a list of action items that need to be completed. We’ll create that list together and determine who is going to do what. Get ready to design!
For example, you may want us to create a logo for you but you’ll need to secure the domain name. We can create your website but you’ll need to set up your payments, social networking connections. It’s a personal plan.
Let’s talk about your unique situation, your goals and thoughts about having a gifting business. Everyone is different and listening to your story is an important step in the process. Once we chat, I can make recommendations on a business model and lay out a plan to work together - if necessary. You may not need me.

I know it looks simple and I’m making it a short process but the reality is there are a lot of details that need to be worked out based on your own personal situation. As a coach, it’s my job to make sure your company is set up based on your skill set and your goals. I proudly do this very well and will make sure you’re set up for success. That is what I do and I LOVE IT!
Types of Gifting Businesses
Starting a gift basket business has never been easier with several business models to choose from. While you may want to handle all aspects of your business, including designing, product selection, and production, there is another option to consider - drop shipping.
Gift basket drop shipping involves featuring another company's designs on your website, and when an order is received, it is automatically shipped by the designer.
As the owner of a drop ship business for over 10 years, I have helped numerous entrepreneurs start, grow, and improve their gifting businesses. However, there are pros and cons to using a drop shipper, and I personally prefer a hybrid approach. Although relying on a gift basket drop ship company like mine is convenient, it's crucial to have your own designs as well.
