You have your basket business up and running but sales have not been brisk. Promoting your special designs and unique baskets in different ways can help improve sales. Many promotions work best during seasonal times such as Valentines Day, Christmas or Easter, but there are ways to promote year round. Don't be timid if you are not a good salesperson. Selling takes hard work, patience and perseverance. Take baby steps each day and don't miss the opportunity to meet new clients and to promote your business.

Create A Website
Create a web site for your basket business. Take photos of each basket you make and post them on your site. Have free offers where you might send someone a coupon in exchange for his name, mailing address and email address. With this information, you can compile a client list that you can send information such as gift giving tips, special promotions and announcements about your products. You can send information via Wickerchina , Facebook or Twitter as well.

Inform Customers
Make sure your customers know the full breadth of baskets that you make. If they always buy officepromotion baskets, they may have no idea you do baby shower baskets. Keep your customers aware of your different varieties and any new wicker gift baskets you add to your line. Label all your product elements, the tissue paper, cellophane wrapper and the basket with your business's name and number to build brand recognition and make it easier for clients to contact you.

Write Articles
Promote your business by writing articles and submitting them to the Internet. Write in a business tone, not a salesperson tone. Highlight recent events where your baskets were received. Don't discuss the different type of baskets you offer. Write an article for each basket that discusses the elements that make your basket different and special.

When a reader is reading your article, you want her to want what is contained in the baskets. Try and relate it to a recent news event. For example, the news does a positive story on the benefits of coffee, incorporate that into your article. The more articles you write, the more you will build your business's reputation and increase traffic to your business.

Local Involvement
Join local clubs and attend local meetings for community businesses. Network with everyone you feel can help your business grow. Make sure to follow up on every potential client you meet. Send thank-you's or glad-we-met postcards and emails. Offer free baskets to local events as prizes. Sell your baskets at local craft fairs and farmers markets. Host make a basket for a friend party. Clients can come over and select items and build a basket. Offer to provide a free basket for local schools holding silent auction fundraisers. Listen to your customers, if they don't like a particular item, change it. Be flexible to meet the client's need.
