It sounds like you've really put some thought into it and could make a go of it - Cool :)<BR/><BR/>I like gift baskets because they kind of dress up several smaller, inexpensive items into something nicer. The danger for me is keeping the items inexpensive enough because the stuff in the basket can add up so quickly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826264.post-31052836277140093672007-11-04T16:52:00.000-05:002007-11-04T16:52:00.000-05:00I'm writing a business plan at the Minority Busine...I'm writing a business plan at the Minority Business Development Agency (turns out, woman=minority) and they have a free template to get you started!!

I mean it is registered and everything. starting a business isn't really that difficult, unless you are going to make BIG BUCKS, then there is much more to it. but for the most part, just go to the court house and register the business or just do it as a side job and claim it as cash earned...keeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914325109581706526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826264.post-73538484031265447182007-11-03T18:44:00.000-04:002007-11-03T18:44:00.000-04:00Yeah Mom said I sounded a little 'hyper' when I ta...Yeah Mom said I sounded a little 'hyper' when I talked to her on the phone.

Baskets CAN be quite lucrative, but I'm also wondering if you're feeling a little "up" this weekend? Okay, on to being excited. <BR/><BR/>Kathie and I were actually going to open a gift basket business in my basement when we lived in Kalamazoo :-) I have books on starting your own basket business, I have books of theme ideas... I even have a name for my non-existent company :-)and go to Michael's for baskets-- a lot of times they'll have their entire basket selection 50% off and they've got some really cute ones!<BR/><BR/>I have about 50 spools of different ribbon (I'm not exaggerating) and I can make some sweet bows. Let me know if you want some :-)<BR/><BR/>Here's my biggest question: how are you going about selling them? Because I've thought about doing it, too, but until we're settled somewhere we're gonna live for a while, I don't want to go through all the formality and legal stuff of actually creating a BUSINESS. So other than like craft fairs and stuff, I wouldn't know how to market it.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135450847993133840noreply@blogger.com
