			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to pump life into your gift basket business follow these simple tips.  Put into action the following ideas, secrets, publicity and marketing tips to get good results for your home based gift basket business.  It&#8217;s a good way to end up with increased profits and in-demand proven products for gift basket businesses and save money.  </p>
<p>If you need to kickstart your current business or if you&#8217;re just starting out, focus on putting together and marketing JUST ONE stunning, unusual, specialty, theme gift basket.  You&#8217;ll be testing the market without a huge investment in inventory, get tremendous exposure and virtually be eliminating the competition.  Pick something unusual, unique, even off the wall &#8212; not traditional basket themes like birthday, sympathy, get well, thank you, etc. Everybody does those.</p>
<p>For a specialty basket theme, just for example, let&#8217;s pick one that is medical-related.  Nurses and doctors are a busy bunch. They are usually overworked and can&#8217;t seem to ever get enough time off to recuperate or shop.  They&#8217;ll love being the buyer of or the recipient of your medical-theme gift basket. We&#8217;ll call it the &#8220;Nurses&#8217; Gift Basket&#8221; or &#8220;Nurses&#8217; Appreciation Gift Basket&#8221;.</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;re focusing on one basket theme it&#8217;ll be a lot easier to pick your products or items. Besides poring through directories and catalogs of gift basket supplies (wholesale for good discounts), browse through nurses&#8217; uniform and supply catalogs.  Make arrangements to buy your smaller items wholesale. You may have to buy directly from the manufacturer or distributor. </p>
<p>If you know any nurses, ask them what kind of items they might like to get in a gift basket? You&#8217;ll want to think fun and luxury and maybe a couple of small useable medical items. Also include some fruit, chocolate, specialty tea or coffee foil packets, cinnamon sticks, etc., if it works with your other items.</p>
<p>If possible try to buy most of your items though one or two suppliers with a wide variety of merchandise.  You&#8217;ll save on shipping. Keep in mind they often require minimum orders.   It&#8217;s so much easier and cheaper than multiple accounts through several suppliers of individual items. Once you&#8217;ve decided on the products or items, set up an account through the wholesale order department.   Order in small quantities in the beginning so you&#8217;re not tying up cash, or maxing out credit cards.  Also you need time to decide on whether you picked a good theme or not.  Test the waters with a couple of baskets first.</p>
<p>Magic catalogs always have a wide variety of hilarious medical items.  Including some funny items in your inventory is a good idea.  Order these through the wholesale department, if they have one.  If you live in or near a large city you should be able to find a good magic store to browse through.  You may find items cheap enough to use for your gift baskets and save on large orders and shipping.  Ask for a quantity discount &#8211; 5%-20%.  You can negotiate prices even in retail stores.  They want to move inventory.</p>
<p>In some cases you&#8217;ll need to order directly from the manufacturer.  You can easily find contact information on the Internet.  But rather than sending an email, it&#8217;s better to call them directly. When introducing yourself to a new wholesale supplier for the first time, by phone is best.</p>
<p>Now that you know what theme you&#8217;re going to start with and know where you&#8217;re going to get your products and items, the next step is working up your marketing plan.  I recommend drawing up the plan before you do any ordering of products.  You can also query the nurses in your local hospital to see if they would be interested in ordering your gift baskets.  They&#8217;d be good customers because of their contact with many co-workers and friends in the medical field.</p>
<p>As part of your marketing plan you can make up some business cards cheaply that focus on the medical or chosen theme.  Because of the nature of your basket &#8212; it&#8217;s uniqueness and because medical personnel are revered in the community, you should be able to get good media (print and broadcast) exposure &#8211; you&#8217;ve got a ‘hook&#8217;.</p>
<p>A press release is easy to write.  Draw up something simple that announces your business. Focus on your basket medical theme or whatever theme you&#8217;ve picked. Write out answers to who, what, where, when and why to make sure you include all the important information.  Keep it simple. Type it on letterhead, white paper and one side, one page only.  Double-space if possible, but single space is fine.  Keep it short.  No flowery adjectives.  Just state the facts. No pitching or selling.  Call to get the correct mailing addresses of your local daily AND weekly newspapers.  They often have post office boxes because they get so much mail.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be well worth the time and effort in wide exposure and increased sales.  Because your theme is so unusual they may want to do a story or feature on you.  Editors are inundated with email.  Direct mailing is best. Send out the two releases, each in it&#8217;s own envelope to every newspaper on your list.  Address one envelope to ‘Editor&#8217; and the other to ‘Lifestyle Editor&#8217;, but not in quotes.</p>
<p>You can also follow up by faxing a copy of each but first you&#8217;ll need to call and get the fax number for the ‘newsroom&#8217;.  Newspapers have dozens of fax machines and you&#8217;ll want it to go to the right one.  </p>
<p>Another marketing tool you may want to consider &#8212; giving some baskets away free by auctioning off a basket or two for charity and sending out a press release to the media to announce the event.  The media loves anything free and combined with a charitable event may insure good coverage.  Pick a good local charity, perhaps one involving children. You may be able to auction your gift baskets off during one of their large events or regional meetings.   The charity volunteers may help by contacting the press and mentioning your medical-theme gift baskets as auction items.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve tested your market locally and have enjoyed a certain amount of success with your new products for your gift basket business, then it&#8217;s time to set up a website and to add another specialty gift basket to your line.</p>
<p>Adding the right new products to your gift basket business and having a good marketing plan are an important part of your gift basket business.  With good free media exposure your sales will soar and your profits will explode! Guaranteed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bringing up a child can be a nightmare in a less-than-hygienic world, but at what point does cleanliness and safety consciousness transcend the boundaries of sanity? </p>
<p><strong>1. Toad stool :</strong></p>
<p>Your child will definitely find this stool hilarious. You can put everything within reach for your little ones on this frog-theme stool. When your child steps or sits on the stool, it croaks. Teeth brushing time will become a little more fun when your child steps on this stool.</p>
<p><strong>2. Potty Mitts :</strong></p>
<p>Have a phobia that your children might catch diseases from unknown sources in public places? Water-resistant Potty Mitts are sure to change your life and your outlook.</p>
<p>In addition to keeping your kids free of germs, these revolutionary disposable gloves are small enough to fit into a handbag or diaper bag. A must for those visiting less-than-clean environs, but make sure you don’t flush them down the toilet; they’re not flush-able. </p>
<p><strong>3. Poop Scoop Bag :</strong></p>
<p>One for really hard-core greenies in keeping with current trends to cut down waste and keep in tune with natural rhythms. The idea is to monitor Baby’s bowel movements, and, instead of clothing them in diapers, let them do their thing whenever and wherever they please.</p>
<p>The trick is to always have your 100% bio-degradable ‘baby poop scoop’ bag at hand to ensure their waste doesn’t become the planet’s. </p>
<p><strong>4. Monkey Bottle Hugger :</strong></p>
<p>Monkey see, monkey do! Use this adorable <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.newbornbabyzone.com/baby-products/choosing-the-right-baby-bottle-for-your-little-child/" target="_blank" title="baby’s bottle">baby’s bottle</a> cover to keep the bottle contents at a constant temperature and prevent condensation. The expandable elastic mouthpiece fits all bottles and sip cups and keeps it from falling out of Baby’s mouth. The furry cover ensures that your child has an easy, comfortable grip at the same time. </p>
<p><strong>5. Pee Pee Bottle:</strong></p>
<p>An ingenious solution for those frequent tight moments when you’re nowhere near a toilet or natural spot, My Pee Pee bottle is as effective for adults as it is for children when it comes to needing a compact, portable space to relieve yourself.</p>
<p>Designed to replace public toilet seat covers, it is leak- and odour-proof and great if you’re on the move, but critics point out that, though it comes in pink and blue, its lack of transparency could detract from its functionality.</p>
<p><strong>6. Baby knee pads:</strong></p>
<p>Here’s an easy way to keep your baby happy while crawling. Your baby will never suffer from grazed, bruised, red and sore knees with these knee pads. There is no need to worry on which floor your baby is crawling inside or outside.</p>
<p>You can easily put the pads with the help of Velcro straps behind baby’s knees to keep them in place. The pads provide maximum protection without restricting the movement and circulation when your baby hits the knees against furniture. </p>
<p><strong>7. Thudguard Helmet:</strong></p>
<p>A UK-derived safety device to help cushion your toddler from banging their head too hard when they fall or collide, the Thudguard helmet may be taking safety too far.</p>
<p>While it looks cute and soft, one can’t help thinking that it conjures up images of astronauts and space bubbles and other unnatural climates where ultimate protection is required. Whatever happened to the learning experience gleaned from a good, solid graze? </p>
<p><strong>8. Shampoo Hat:</strong></p>
<p>A fun, feminine derivative of an adult shower cap, this frilly crown is an excellent way to keep soapsuds and shampoo out and your baby’s humor intact if she/he doesn’t like getting her/his head wet.</p>
<p>The foam ring has a hole in the middle which serves as a visor and ensures there are no more tears at bath time. Available in pink and blue as well as with cartoon motifs. </p>
<p><strong>9. Baby Snot Sucker:</strong></p>
<p>As clinically correct as the country which spawned it, this Swedish nasal device is possibly the snottiest invention you will ever come across. A cross between a tube and a straw, the Nosefrida is a bizarre way of ensuring Baby’s excess mucus does not choke or suffocate.</p>
<p>A long, flexible tube with a mouthpiece on the parent’s end and a nostril sucker on the baby’s end, the Nosefrida introduces a whole new concept to child care: nose to mouth resuscitation. Lest you are worried that you’ll ingest the baby’s snot, the developers have thought of everything.</p>
<p>An inline filter stops the snot from reaching your mouth, and you just have to wash it in the sink before using again. </p>
<p><strong>10. Potty Song:</strong></p>
<p>Remember Thomas the Tank Engine, a childhood ditty used by many parents to inspire their toddlers by repeating the lines &amp; think I can, I know I can’t The times they have changed and the parents reckon they’ve got wiser.</p>
<p>The newly released Potty Song CD will encourage any kid want to change their diapers, and go to the loo all by themselves. A brilliant Pavlovian concept, the CD allows you to play your child a personalized song which rewards him/her for using the potty by saying their name over and over again. The attention your child receives makes him/her keep going back for more. </p>
<p><strong>11. Babykeeper Basic:</strong></p>
<p>A cross between a handbag and a carrycot, the Babykeeper Basic is the perfect antidote to keeping your baby out of harm’s way when you don’t have enough arms. It hangs comfortably from walls of most public restrooms and fitting rooms by means of two large metal hooks protected with safety webbing.</p>
<p>An added benefit of the patent-pending carrier chair, padded with non-slip material, is that it offers a safe, efficient way to keeping your child strapped up while you push the shopping trolley. Just don’t mistake it for your handbag! </p>
<p><strong>12. Pee-Pee Teepee:</strong></p>
<p>A discerning design from someone who has cottoned on to Baby’s unpredictable toilet behavior, this clever little triangular tent-like cover will shield you from â€œsprinkling wee weeâ€? while trying to change your baby’s nappy. Washable and waste-friendly, the wee-wee wigwam comes in three styles: cellophane, laundry bag and terry cloth. Wham bam, thank you Mom. </p>
<p><strong>13. Bink Tees:</strong></p>
<p>From day one, babies are friends of pacifiers. If your baby is no exception, you will love this new line of t-shirts suitable for little suckers. Your baby will love this bink tees and amuse themselves with binkies for hours putting them in, spitting them out, and crying to retrieve it again. When they throw it out, you wash it off and put back or give it to her and the whole routine starts again. </p>
<p><strong>14. Billy Bob Pacifiers:</strong></p>
<p>If your baby is one of those who share that traditional longing for two front teeth for Christmas, give him/her something to really smile about. Besides keeping everyone in the vicinity in stitches, these wacky Billy Bob <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.newbornbabyzone.com/baby-products/using-a-baby-pacifier-is-it-safe-to-let-baby-have-pacifier/" target="_blank" title="Baby Pacifiers">Baby Pacifiers</a> soothe Baby and makes you wonder whether s/he really does only have a sublime mouth full of teeth. </p>
<p><strong>15. Baby Legs:</strong></p>
<p>Your baby’s legs are being exposed to the chilly air because of gapiosis. Protect your little ones legs from wind burn and chill with these baby legs. Your baby’s soft knees are protected from harsh surfaces, bugs, and sun rays. Keeps legs warm, comfortable alternative to tights and allows barefoot walking. <br /><strong><br />16. Baby High Heels:</strong></p>
<p>Reverse the age order and dress up your little lamb as mature mutton. Not that the intention is to make your child grow up before its time, but these booties with high heels will add a fun dimension to yours, and Baby’s life.</p>
<p>Designed by two childhood friends for a laugh, the soft, decorative heel adds a fun aspect to comfortable crib shoes. Aptly named Heelarious, the shoes cannot support any weight and are not intended to be anything other than comfortable, but zany, baby shoes in a range of trendy designs. Ignore them at your peril. </p>
<p><strong>17. Baby Food Dispensing Spoon:</strong></p>
<p>Feed your baby conveniently one bite at a time with Squirt baby food dispensing spoon. 3 ounces of baby food can be filled in the bulb and attached firmly to the spoon end. Get the right amount of food from bulb with a simple squeeze. Protective cover helps to seal the food and to keep the spoon clean. </p>
<p><strong>18. Baby Mickey womb doll:</strong></p>
<p>Think your newborn baby might be missing the warmth of your womb? Takara Tomy has come up with a melodic solution in the form of a doll to apparently recreate the primal sounds of in utero heartbeat and blood flow outside the womb. Issho ni Nenne Baby Mickey and Minnie Womb-sound dolls aim to ease babies into a relaxing sleep cycle, and provide them with a new friend at the same time. </p>
<p><strong>19. Baby Bottom Fan:</strong></p>
<p>Just when you thought they hadn’t thought of everything to make Baby’s upbringing as clinical and as humanly possible, a Freudian with a serious hygiene fetish got wind of the news.</p>
<p>Equipped with a built-in anti-microbial fragrance dispenser to protect your baby from skin ailments, the Baby Bottom Fan is the quintessential gizmo to keep your baby dry, and you busy, at every diaper change. Apparently eases sleep and irritation too, and comes with sponge fan blades to eliminate any possibility of danger. </p>
<p><strong>20. Peter Potty Toddler Urinal:</strong></p>
<p>Now you can potty train your toddler boy easily with this flushable toddler urinal. This toddler urinal provides your little guy standup experience 6 months faster. The low basin is easier to use, reducing mess.</p>
<p>After using it, your kid loves to push the flush button. No plumbing is required; you have to just fill the reservoir at sink. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was once driving along with an executive who loved to bring out new products.  He was very proud of their brand names, their contents, and their authenticity.  I asked him how he thought about profitability.  He said that he didn&#8217;t.  He just measured how much more volume he sold.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
He was shocked to learn that the profitability of his new products in the last year had varied from 1 percent to as high as 39 percent.  He asked me which ones earned 39 percent.  When I told him, he laughed.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
I asked what was funny.  He said that those were easier to do than the less profitable ones, but he had been afraid to do too much in that area.  From then on, he refocused in the high profit new product area and grew earnings faster than the business had ever done before.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
It was a nice ending to the story.  let&#8217;s look at an example to see how to think about what to add.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A young married couple, Mr. William and Ms. Dorothy Hustead, bought a small store in a tiny town near the South Dakota Badlands. From 1931 to 1936, they struggled through the Depression serving the town&#8217;s 326 impoverished residents.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
One day in 1936, Ms. Hustead, bothered by the sound of cars on the nearby highway heading for Mount Rushmore, persuaded her husband to expand their business to serve these travelers. Mr. Hustead put up signs on the highway to draw visitors to their store, making a unique appeal. The signs said, &#8220;Free Ice Water . . . Wall Drug.&#8221; In those days before automobile air conditioning was common, that offer was a powerful appeal.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Beginning from this humble expansion of its customer base, Wall Drug now serves more than 20,000 visitors a day during the summer in its Wall, South Dakota, store and many more on its Web site.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Let&#8217;s return to Wall Drug in the 1930s to explore expanding a for-profit business&#8217;s scope and concept. People heading for the Black Hills also needed services.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Wall Drug could have checked car radiators to see if they needed more water and could have helped tired travelers make motel reservations, plan side trips to little-known attractions, obtain referrals to South Dakota physicians and dentists, and acquire local towing insurance for their cars.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While the free ice water was welcome to hot, tired travelers, Wall Drug failed to appreciate that such travelers were primarily trying to enjoy a nice vacation and would have welcomed many reasonably priced, vacation-enhancing services. Wall Drug could have offered some of those services for free to the travelers by relying on commissions from motels, attractions, and insurance companies.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While checking the radiators, Wall Drug would have found plenty of cars that needed gasoline, oil, filters, windshield wiper blades, spark plugs, and other minor items that could have been provided after the radiator water was checked. The Husteads would have benefited by realizing that they were also in the business of improving vacation travel, rather than only selling pharmacy items.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Nonprofit organizations are often similarly too narrow in their thinking. I have visited many food distribution centers for needy families, but don&#8217;t recall ever seeing such a center that provided a way for the unemployed to find work.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While hundreds of families are lined up for the groceries, a separate set of volunteers could be helping match people to available jobs in the area. Volunteers could help those with limited reading and writing skills to explore lists and fill out applications. Cellular phones could be shared to make job interview appointments.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
These centers should see their role as helping the needy to be able to provide for their own needs. As the Chinese proverb says, you do more good if you teach someone to fish rather than just providing a fish for today&#8217;s meal.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
As an example of how more can be accomplished by thinking about other ways to help, Habitat for Humanity found that it could multiply its global efforts by encouraging national organizations to send one-tenth of the money they raise to other countries.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
While a new home in the United States might cost $50,000 to build, an African home might cost only $500. By sharing 10 percent of the money they raise, a U.S. affiliate can increase the number of families served by their funds as many as 10-fold.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In addition, the Habitat families and volunteers learn to build homes, take care of the homes, and help others build their homes. In many cases, the families and volunteers can then find work in home building and related trades. As the no-interest mortgages are repaid, poor families are also providing funds for other poor families to use.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
What&#8217;s missing to have the right scope and concept? Organizations are focused on providing more of what they do today rather than considering what those who receive the products and services really want and need. Naturally, organizations need to focus. Taking on the wrong additional products and services can create havoc with the economics of a business or nonprofit organization and leave everyone worse off.</p>
