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???

why wouldn't you not do it? It's a money maker you should do it for all occasions and birthday, baby showers, weddings, etc., oh and wrap then in the holiday wrapping. clear Selene

I sell Mary Kay and i do something similar. 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. I usually do a body care basket, a skin care basket and a color basket
Good Luck!

Actually I was approached by a girl who did do this only with mary kay products. She had them in coffee cups but they were a lot more than that price. She took them into business shops and carried them in a pretty basket. She was dressed nice and well she did ok. Just have them ready and a set price. Say a coffee cup, or then vase with jewelry 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. GO FOR IT GIRL@!
Oh it workds even better in small towns.

I think the general idea is good, but the fact is most of them won't know what to pick.
Do some ready-made baskets and sell them as is. You can still take special orders, if they want one. (And I'd charge them a minimum of $5 for special orders, if it were me.)
