Saving Time Saves Money

I remember a basket delivery last year... it was really close to an afternoon appointment and I thought I could save the client a little money if I dropped the gift off myself...

I left the meeting and headed to the drop off point... made it in record time and then spend over an hour finding my way back to the office!!! I saved the client a few dollars and cost myself over an hour of time.

I mention this because as you plan for your holiday gift giving know that there are professional gift designers out here to help save you time and ultimately the headache and frustration. I outsource my deliveries so I can focus on your gift design and you can focus on what drives your bottom dollar.

5 things to know when you're hiring a gift basket company

1. Budget - provide a range within $10 and note if the budget includes shipping and handling and tax.

2. Delivery date - most holiday corporate gifts go out the week of the Dec 10th. Planning ahead allows you to ship ground... the savings here can really add up

3. Themes or ideas - This could mean adding a special item or using a specific color. With a little of this and a little of that a custom look can be achieved without breaking the bank.

4. Messages for cards - This is a great way to further customize your gift. Messages can be added to gift tag or to the shipping box.

5. Payment - most custom projects require a deposit upfront. OBB Nashville takes a 50% deposit before physically creating the gifts, but the intial consultation and design are free.
