Last minute ordering
If you have seen a trend towards later ordering of holiday gifts with your clients, you are not alone. Our experience shows that people are choosing to place holiday orders later every year. In 1999 50% of our holiday gift orders were placed after Nov. 8. In 2013 the half way cut off was November 15. How can you partner with suppliers to secure these late season orders?
Offer the option to ship directly to the recipient. This can save up to 5 days in transit time.

If you’re a newbie to the industry, or a veteran who has never felt comfortable selling food gifts, please read on.
