mothers day... is this a good...?

Question

Mothers’ day is coming, please tell me, is this a good idea, I sell Avon and my brother gave me this idea... (He said it would work for the men who just don't know what to get... and the men who work too late to go shopping...) make gift baskets... and do a "build your own basket" or a “You pick the price” where you tell me what you want in the basket and I put it together. And charge...

Ex.
Small basket: $1.50 plus the cost of the Avon products.
Medium basket: $2.50 plus the cost of the Avon products.
Large basket: $3.50 plus the cost of the Avon products.

Do you think this would work???

would it work in a small town???

well would it???

Answer 1

Men wait until the last minute and most need to be told what to get so don't waste time having them pick just make a few and as you sell them make more. Just have them ready and a set price. Say a coffee cup, or basket with whatever for wife...that sort of thing. With a card that would be what would sell me. No card or gift to get. Easy ...price would not be that important so make one say 10.00 range one 20.00 range. Make it easy for the guys but don’t stop there you could do it for all occasions like birthday, baby showers, weddings, etc., oh and wrap then in the holiday wrapping. This works even better in small towns.
If you advertise a lot it might work! GO FOR IT GIRL!!!

This sounds like a really neat idea! Why not give it a try? You really can't lose much can you? And you stand to gain a lot.
