Saving Money On Gift Baskets For Clients

October 30th, 2011

Today I decided that in order to bring back a few of my past clients, I needed to do something out of the ordinary. Have you seen that episode of “The Office” where Michael takes very expensive gift baskets to all their former clients trying to win them back? I think those were actually ones from the Harry and David collection (very nice). Some of you reading this are thinking I am going to give you a great place to save money on Harry and David. So here you go, get your Harry and David coupons here.

But no, I want to tell you how to make your own gift baskets that are sure to kick your clients love for you and loyalty into overdrive.

1) Always include some alcohol.  Yeah, I know you guys are gonna think I am some kinda lush, but boos always pays, seriously. You just have to find out what kind of wine and spirits your client likes best.

If you can pick the right wine for the right occasion and include that in your basket, it’s a sure winner.

2) Meat Plays It Up – who doesn’t like some good smoked meat? men like smoked meat, and so do the ladeez! LOL :)

Of course, if your client is an organic vegetable distributor, meat may not be the best choice, but other than that, you are a winner with it. Make sure it pairs nicely with that wine or beer you are including.

3) Good basket Itself – The key to all of this is the actual basket you put it in. PRO TIP: trust me, the basket will get used in other places and serve as a constant reminder of your gift and you! If you get a nice basket, maybe your client’s wife will use it as a lunch basket later on down the road… or display it in their house someone. My wife displays baskets with crap in them all over the place.

This make the gift continue to keep giving (cliche’) on down the line, but it makes for a lasting memory.

Do it this weekend, get the right gift basket and make it yourself.. who needs Harry and David or any of them guys? :)

Are You Serious? It Is Not Another One of These Is It?

June 3rd, 2010

If I am a blogger, is it really important to know how to promote my blog? The answer is yes. Can’t I just write because I love to write? The answer is still yes. Can’t I just write because I love to write and earn money from it? The answer is no. It is quite a sad fact, but it is true. The world is full of really talented writers who may be able to write better than you can. The difference is that most of us do not know how to market ourselves. We rely too much on raw talent and skills that we seem to forget that it is equally important to let other people know that we can write. Get some Monroe NC assisted living too.

It’s basically like applying for a job. You have to know how to represent yourself. You have to put your best foot forward. That’s the same with internet marketing. We have to know how to make our blogs become more popular. We can’t just write blog posts everyday and wait until somebody comes across our blogs and likes it. We have to have the initiative as well. It’s not a bad thing to promote oneself. In fact, the rewards may just be as sweet as anything else.

Liking Or Enjoying Your Lawn Care Chores

April 11th, 2010

We were talking the other day about lawn care and how in spring that is really starting to come to the forefront of our minds. me and my neighbor talk all the time about getting our lawns green and thick and all that. But how many of you can say your lawn is nice and green like mind?

You see, if you saw my lawn, you would know that I am the lawn care pro in the street and even in my whole town. I take care of my lawn all day long and all night long, I am that guy, LOL

I once went out and hand watered all 10K square feet of my lawn after I applied a nice nutrient rich lawn care fertilizer.

If you are like me, then you need to realize that taking care of your lawn is a committment and that is what matters. The lawn will love you back, but you have to love it, or like it, or enjoy it prior. The rewards are incredible with maticulous lawn care by any DIY homeowners.

The Joy Of An Eco Friendly Kitchen

February 21st, 2010

Everyone can contribute to make the mother earth greener. You can start with changing a few things in your kitchen itself. Take a look at these suggestions to know how you can contribute.

Use solar barbecues- barbecues will not just give you healthy food; they also are a good way to save energy. Instead of the normal cook tops in your kitchen, you can try the solar cook tops and barbecue grills. You can also get some counter tops that are made of recycled glass, concrete and scraps.
Have a green kitchen- you can grow some plants in your kitchen and use the kitchen waste as fertilizer. You can take a big container and put paper scraps and vegetable peel in it. After that, make some holes on the sides of the bin and turn out the contents every week till the time they turn brown.
Put two bins in the kitchen- you should put not one but two bins in your kitchen and make sure that you separate the waste accordingly. One bin for the bio-degradable waste and the other one for non-bio-degradable.
Clean kitchen with natural materials-you should not use toxic materials for cleaning your kitchen. You can make use of pulp of tamarind to shine up the old utensils. If you wish to keep your utensils clean and smelling good, you can use a mixture of vinegar and lemon juice.
Be a smart home-maker- not just the items you cook but also the utensils you cook in, matter a lot. You can make use of the smaller saucepans for cooking if the quantity to be cooked is not more. Also, making use of the pressure cookers is also advisable as they help in saving gas.
Use green colored paints for the doors and walls in your home.

Another thing that you can do is to make sure that you include organic food in your diet. The organic foods and vegetables available in the market are a bit expensive but they are healthier options as well. Keep a stock of these vegetables and fruits in your kitchen.

I Love The Country Garden Look

February 1st, 2010

Winter is over and finally, you can begin expecting for warmer months, particularly the summer season wherein you can take pleasure in your garden’s greenery and that fresh air you have been waiting for. However, maintaining the beauty of gardens is never easy for everyone. It actually takes energy and time to have that attractive looking garden with wonderful blooms during summer.
In the past, only two ways were to be made should you wish to have a garden that people would be envious of, and those ways are through hard work and utilization of pesticides, fertilizers or other unsafe products. Fortunately, a more convenient, easier, simpler and environmental-friendly approach in order to have a stunning looking garden came to light, and there is no need of having to give more of your time and effort on this.
A flower-growing kit is an excellent idea, as well as an easy means to obtain pleasant looking flowers in the garden even without expertise or hard work. This kit normally has all the things necessary for growing flowers – natural fertilizer, seeds, pots and a lot more. You have the option to plant them on your greenhouse or window sill at first and as soon as they are sufficiently strong, you can have them re-planted in your garden or pots.
Still, if you are not satisfied with the look of your garden given the blooms you currently have, you can plant a few trees to make everything complete. Believe it or not, growing trees is just the same with how you grow flowers except this time, what you need is a tree-growing kit. Begin with a tiny sapling on the sill of your window, place it in your garden then observe as the time passes by. You will be surprised to find out that it can grow to as high as 20 feet. Your garden will look really beautiful and complete as it has a tree and flowers which perfectly goes together.
