1. Order Early
The holiday season sneaks up on people—the warm fall weather lulls people into forgetting that winter, and the holiday season, will soon be here. Don’t wait until it's too late, or you'll run the risk of having your favorite holiday gift selling out. Hot sellers seem to run out of stock each season, so order now to avoid out of stocks and rush charges.
2. Be Inspired by Retail
Your gift recipients enjoy holiday gifts that are similar to what they see as hot sellers in the stores. Think brand names (like Cutter & Buck for garments, Godiva chocolates, or Cross pens) and keep an eye on popular trends such as fitness bands for gift inspirations. Another retail trend to emulate in your Holiday plans is gift packaging, such as taking a stainless steel tumbler and packaging it in a custom gift box that will enhance the gift experience.
