I have put together a list of Gift Sets (keeping in mind Fathers Day, Grad, and weddings) - but how do I promote them? Mention them at my Show? Put a copy in my Reminder Binder? Both?

I had one customer say she likes the idea of me being her 'personal shopper' for gift sets for upcoming events - but she wants to SEE the Gift Set (as in wrapped up pretty)

I had sent out an email stating they were avail. at 10% off (most of my bookings for the next month do not have a PH) - but no body jumped to the idea. Do I need to follow up with a CC?

Has anyone else tried the Gift Set idea and had some success?
 
I have tried it . People want to "see" it all wrapped up. Most people can't vision it. I have sold a few this way, really depends on the crowd and time of year. I have had it work best at Christmas time.
 
I tried around Christmas but just had a flyer that I made up. You could try some at home with products you have and take pictures for your binder with some ideas. Weddings would be classic PC items, Baby Showers with gifts for new mom, Father's Day with BBQ tools, etc. Another good one is a set up in the trifle bowl. They had a great presentation last NC. Wonder if it's still on CC.

Do I just take my 'flyer' with me to shows and go over it quickly?
 
You can talk about it during your show as a service you offer. If you have a flip top binder, you can leave it up on your display table.

What are the best gift sets to promote for special occasions?

For special occasions, consider promoting themed gift sets that align with the event, such as holiday baking sets for Christmas, grilling sets for Father's Day, or entertaining sets for housewarming parties. Highlighting seasonal items and popular products can also attract more customers.

How can I effectively market gift sets to my customers?

Utilize social media platforms to showcase your gift sets through engaging posts, stories, and live demonstrations.
