This book is by far the best handbook written about running a gift basket business. I’ve owned a gift basket business for one year and was looking for new marketing ideas, so I purchased several gift basket business books from Amazon.
This book stood out from the rest because it includes TONS of marketing ideas and tells you who to contact at various types of businesses/potential markets. I am really impressed! The ideas in this book really work and have encouraged me to get even more organized and focused in my marketing.

I strongly suggest this book for any and all gift basket makers, whether they’ve been in the business for years or are just starting out.

This is a great manual for starting your own gift-basket business. I find that the author has put in some extensive research that will help those getting started in the business avoid some common prblems.
Being one who is very business savvy but a little short on the creative side, I was a little disappointed not to find examples of completed basket designs as I have in some other books. Consider this a minor drawback if you have ideas of your own that are ready to go but just need to know how to get started.

I have to write to say what a great book this is. My father and I are thinking about getting in the basket business but we both decided the smart thing to do was to read up on the subject. After looking at several books on the subject we came across Mrs Fraziers book and happy to say it is the best book we have read. Before you plunk down alot of money read the book first you will learn alot. The thing I like alot about the book is it is so easy to read and understand and was very well written. I hope to be successful in this business and if I do this book made it possible,,Thank You Mrs Frazier.

Anyone looking for the creative side of gift baskets will be as disappointed by this book , as I am. After viewing this lady and her wonderful baskets on a craft show, I did not expect such a dry book. Before one can get to make a basket, we are shown an entire business plan, in which we hire couriers, attorneys, extra employees; etc. The one creative chapter contains line drawings only. There are lists of resources ideas. I may be able to refer to this book later after perfecting my craft, but for now I need visuals!
