HOW TO START A HOME BASE GIFT BASKET BUSINESS

I have a gift basket business in Jackson, MS and am 5 months into it. This book has been a life saver. Not only does it help you start a business, it tells you in detail how to secure items in the basket. I just made a basket for mailing, and would have not been able to have secured it for shipping had it not been for this book. It shows different forms you can use for bookkeeping to keep track of your money. It doesn't show actual photo pictures of baskets, but by reading it you can determine how to make the basket. I would highly recommend it to anyone starting a gift basket business.

Excellent Choice!

As someone who has only made gift baskets for family members, friends, etc., I found this book to be very informative and detailed. Developing a business plan is very important and the author gave great examples. It gave me a good idea of what I'm getting into, what to expect, and how much work is involved. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is just getting started.

Well Worth The Price of The Book

This book is a must read for anyone thinking of starting a gift basket business. It covers every aspect of the business in great detail and is very easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

A Great Book for anyone in the Business

I have to write to say what a great book this is. My father and I are thinking about getting in the basket business but we both decided the smart thing to do was to read up on the subject. After looking at several books on the subject we came across Mrs Fraziers book and happy to say it is the best book we have read. Before you plunk down alot of money read the book first you will learn alot. The thing I like alot about the book is it is so easy to read and understand and was very well written. I hope to be successful in this business and if I do this book made it possible,,Thank You Mrs Frazier.

This book is great, lots of detail and thought provoking.

I found this book to be very informative with attention to even small details. I am in the process of setting up my own home-based gift basket business and am using this book every day. Great suppliers, but you have to add to them too. Easy to read and understand.
