Baskets are the focus of this week’s posts – where to buy, how to create new looks for less, wrapping options, and more.
I believe that a week’s tutorial on the basket will be instrumental to you for three reasons.
1. Trade show exhibitors will tempt you with their displays, but before making a purchase, it’s important to look at what you already own and decide how each one will become part of a masterpiece that convinces clients to buy.
2. This favored vessel is usually configured one way, and there are many other methods to consider when creating designs. You may not understand what I mean by this, but I’ll explain tomorrow. Stay tuned.
3. Sizes, styles, and shapes keep your designs fresh and interesting, but so can one or two types of baskets enhanced by different colors and closure materials. You’ll learn more about this, too.
I remember my first visit to a trade show, the big one in New York, when I was mesmerized while viewing all of the products on the show floor.
My first decision was to look through the directory to find basket sellers. I noted their booth numbers and began the search.
One thing I noticed about wholesalers is that they often sold nested baskets, which is explained on this page.
What do you think about nests? Do you buy them? For years, I was confused about them until I attended a conference and picked up an informative catalog that explained how to price nested baskets.
That eased my apprehension, and now I consider these combinations to be a wise investment.
You’ll find three pricing strategies on the same basket page mentioned above.
Sometimes single baskets prove to be a great buy, and other times nested groups are a great option. But the way I view nests may not be what works for you.
Which type of baskets sell best for you – singles or nested?
