Has anyone had success approaching business in giving arbonne baskets for the holidays to their clients and/or staff. I have done a little research but am not sure how to package baskets and come up with different price options. I am new to all this and any guidence would be helpful. I have found a sample letter online but nothing on different combinations of items.
Then the question becomes do you put stickers on all the products so people could reorder or is that tacky.

Another great idea! Thanks for sharing.
When I had my scrapbooking store, I had great success with gift baskets. I had a different variety: Baby Boy, Baby Girl, Newbies, Tool Time, Embellish This, etc. I allowed folks to choose their purchase 1 of 2 ways. They could choose a dollar amount they were looking to spend or choose the types of items they wanted to include & then I would let them know the cost. Generally they had an idea of both, how much they wanted to spend and what type of things they wanted to include. I would suggest that you put together a few variations of possible baskets: Men's, Women's, Baby, Figure 8, Aromatherapy, along with the products you would include for say a $50 basket, $75 basket, $100 basket, etc. Don't forget to itemize your cost of basket, filler, any wrapping, etc for your business records and when you are calculating the cost of the entire basket.
I do not believe it is tacky at all to include your stickers. We know the user of the products will love them and have to have moresmileys/smiley36.gif. You deserve the repeat business for developing an avenue to get the products out there while making $ in the process. Good Luck!Edited by: Kiana's Mom
