Poll of Businesses Shows They?re Stocking Holiday Gift Baskets Early This Year
(PRWEB) December 10, 2007 -- When it comes to holiday gifts (www.pro-gift-baskets.com/holidaygiftbaskets.aspx), businesses are stuffing their employees? and customers? stockings earlier than in previous years, states a new poll from TGBP.
"Many customers that have previously ordered their business Christmas gifts in mid-December have ordered as early as September this year to take advantage of free ground shipping offers that can end up saving a substantial amount for those that are on budgets, especially for larger corporate orders,? states David McNaught, Marketing Director for The Gift Basket Pros, a company that supplies holiday gift baskets. ?Numerous companies have also indicated they are more interested in hand delivering the Christmas gift baskets themselves this year to add a more personal touch and to enhance their business to business relationship, at least for those clients that happen to be local.?
Additional reasons given for placing their orders early include: 1) a desire to avoid out-of-stock issues that occur later in the shopping season, 2) looking to avoid the bad weather delays that occur with shipping late in the season when snow can be very heavy and carrier trucks unable to get reach their destinations before Christmas, and 3) trying to get their gifts delivered as early as the first week of December so everyone can enjoy their gifts before employees and clients leave for vacation.
The poll was conducted internally by corporate gift services department at TGBP, for more information on how this survey was conducted contact David McNaught at 866.690.8427 ext 104. Information on the company?s line of Christmas baskets (www.pro-gift-baskets.com/christmasgiftbaskets.aspx) and holiday gift baskets can be found at www.pro-gift-baskets.com.
Customers need to get their orders in as quick as possible to avoid UPS and FedEx seasonal difficulties, adds McNaught.
?The week prior to Christmas is the heaviest shipping week of the year and quite a large number of customers are looking to avoid the headaches of ordering their gifts so late in the season,? he says. ?We are advising customers that orders shipping Ground after Monday, December 17 have a higher chance of not being delivered due to the extreme volume of packages that carriers are transporting this time of year."
