hey everyone. we have made up some gift boxes that we purchased at the $ store. we have put 2 of the aromatherapy products in each box plus we have included a 18 inch sterling silver snake chain & a sterling silver cross. we have priced these at $20.00 which is way below retail because we sell the cross & chain alone for $16.00. ( we alos sell jewelry, we do jewelry shows all over al, ga, & tn) the problem is that no one is hardly paying any attention. we need to really spark some interest. we were planning on selling the gift boxe3s for $30.00 and giving $15.00 of each gift box to our church for a fundraiser however that didnt work out so well so we dropped the price. we still havent sold a one , people look at them smell the product but still there are not jumping off the shelves like we had hoped. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

are you wrapping them up? by this i mean with either the clear cello paper or shrink wrap. i love using cello paper and rafia. if it is holiday themed them tie a candy cane into the rafia. also what type if filler are you using?

we are not using a clear wrap.i thought that we might need to be wrapping them also. we need to jazz them up so to speak. thanks for the advice any more suggestions would also be great. we are using different color of the stuffing that you get to put in baskets. thanks again

Definitely wrap them up. Put some colored or silver shred on the bottom of the basket, then take the clear plastic and tie it up with some toole (sp). It's soooo easy to make bows with toole. You can even buy a big bow to tie on the front of it. Be sure to take the product out of the box and tape the product to the box then place it in the basket. It makes the basket look fuller. Presentation is everything!!! Good luck!
