How to Make Your Own Snack Gift Basket in 5 Simple Steps
Making your own snack gift basket might sound like a tricky thing to do, especially if you’re not familiar with making your own merch and creating branded products.
However, we’ve broken down the process for you and we’re going to present you with the five simple steps you can take.
Here’s step number one.
Step #1: Find a creative swag company
Finding a creative swag company to partner with is essential when creating any kind of branded and customized product.
You need to invest in a creative business partner that’ll not only show you the different types of snacks and food you can include in your boxes but who’ll also take you through the whole process of picking products and customizing them.
As you’ve seen, there are loads of products you can customize with your company logo and put in a gift basket.
However, finding the best and most suitable creative swag company is not just about the products.
On the contrary, it’s about finding a vendor that’ll understand your promotional and corporate gifting needs and will share the most innovative and unique branded options out there.
If you want to know more about how to choose the best swag company, read our ultimate guide on the topic we published recently.
Step #2: Define your quantity and quality needs
After making sure that you’re working with the right swag vendor, you’re going to need to define your quantity and quality needs.
To put it simply, you need to set up your evaluation criteria in terms of the quantity and the quality of the product you’re going to add to your gift boxes.
This is something you can work out together with your swag supplier in order to make sure that you’re not going to have more and definitely not less than you actually need.
Step #3: Pick your products
Picking up the products you’re going to personalize and include in your snacks and food gift baskets is the third step you need to take.
The product selection heavily depends on the occasion as well as whether you have a specific theme in mind.
For example, if you’re determined to create movie night snack baskets for your employees and team members, then popcorn seasoning and chips would be suitable.
On the other hand, if you’re at the stage of putting together your festive hampers, then chocolate truffles and savory snacks that go well with cheese and wine would do.
Step #4: Take care of the details
You’re now at this point where you’ve found yourself a creative swag vendor (kudos!), you’ve defined your quality and quantity needs, and you’ve also picked the products that are going to be included in your boxes.
However, you’re yet to decide on packaging, design, and delivery options.
This step is one that you’re going to take together with your swag company.
What we do with our clients is take them through the packaging options to help them decide which one is right for them.
We also make sure to give them access to mockups of branded products to show them how their designs look on the merch before they commit to an order.
Step #5: Place your order
After having completed all the previous steps, you’re ready to place your order.
All you need to do is to wait for your fabulous snack and gift baskets with all the delicious branded snacks you’ve made to be shared with your clients, employees, and loved ones.
We’re done with the process of making your own snack basket.
However, there’s also an FAQs section, so make sure you read that one, too.
