How to Make a Gift Basket for a Corporate Client

Keeping a client happy isn't always an easy task. There will always be competition and there will always be others who are willing to work for a lower price than you. However, if you deliver quality service and go the extra mile for your clients, it will not go unnoticed. A corporate gift basket is a great way to show your clients that you care.

Things You'll Need

• Basket
• Scissors
• Ribbon
• Glue
• Starbucks coffee products
• Card

Instructions

1. Identify what size the gift basket needs to be. If you are making one for a single client, the basket can be reasonably small in size. However, if you are providing an entire office or department with this corporate gift basket, you must drastically increase the size of the gift basket and its contents.

2. Nothing screams "We Care!" more than Starbucks to a corporate client. Business men and women live off of Starbucks, which makes their products an easy choice.

3. Shop for the contents of your basket. Most of these items can be found in your local Wal-Mart or super market. These are relatively inexpensive items, but the cost can certainly add up, so be sure to look for coupons.The following things would make an enticing gift basket.

4. Now its time to prepare the basket. Set the basket on a flat surface and glue the ribbon onto the basket, allowing 15 minutes or so for drying time. Carefully and strategically place all of the items inside the gift basket in a way that is pleasing to the eye. Set the tallest items toward the back.

5. The thank you card should be placed front and center, considering it is the purpose of the gift basket. Be sure to address all the names that should be mentioned in the card. To make this corporate gift basket even more personal, deliver it yourself.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to remove all price stickers.

• Dark brown baskets give off a far more professional look than any other color.

• Make sure to spell your client's name correctly.
