Gift basket professionals score high marks in three areas – patience, research and determination.

Patience is key to develop your basket-making craft. Videos, conferences and adult school courses are three ways that teach you the building basics. Believe me, patience will pay off in the long run.

The library and the Internet are two common places to begin researching the industry. Library reference books will lead you to sources such as magazines, statistics and trade shows. Message boards and live chats are common available through the Internet and America Online.

A gift basket business has its share of ups and downs, and this is where your determination is crucial. When I started my business, there were no resources, print or video, but I was determined to succeed. If you can’t get through the front door, come up the side. Did the prospect say, “no?” Keep going until another says “yes.” I did, and it works.
