You Don't Always Need A Big Occasion, Just A Reason
From November through to April time always flies by in basket-land as we have so many gift giving holidays and occasions falling during this time period. There's the busiest time of year - Christmas, followed by New Year, our Winter Sale, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter. This involves a lot of preparation before we even get to the fulfillment, delivery and after sales care so you can see how it flies by.People often ask us what the next occasion is, but apart from International Mother's Day in May and Father's Day in June, there aren't any other major occasions we concentrate on. Instead we concentrate on all the smaller occasions that are going on everyday without people giving them much thought. These smaller occasions, holidays or "reasons" to send a gift are what keep our business going all year round. The "big" occasions are a bonus and without the mammoth holiday of Christmas it would be difficult to operate during the rest of the year unless you just wanted it to a lifestyle business, supporting one or two wages.So what are these other gift giving "reasons"? There are many, many reasons, but I've highlighted the "Big 5" below.
- Birthdays
- Get Well
- Congratulations
- Thank You
- Hospitality/International Holidays
