Home-Based Success; Stay At Home Mom Ranked in Top 50 Gift Basket Businesses in America

After only 5 years in her home-based business, stay-at-home mom Amy Lind has achieve national acclaim, being acknowledged as one of the top 50 gift basket businesses in America according to a recent survey conducted by Festivities Publications.

Alpine, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2005

Small business entrepreneur Amy Lind, owner of The Basket Corner, was recently honored among the Top 50 Gift Basket Businesses in the United States. The industry survey was conducted by Festivities Publications and the Gift Basket Review magazine, a leading publication in the gift industry. The Basket Corner is one of only three California businesses to be acknowledged for this success.

Achieving the title of “Top 50” was achieved through a lengthy application process which examines a company’s growth, customer base, product offering and overall profitability. Lind’s personal involvement with the business model from inception to execution ensures that each gift supports the company’s objective of providing “elegant gifts, outstanding service, personal attention and reasonable prices.”

Lind has been repeatedly profiled in the Gift Basket Review for her outstanding and creative designs. She has also authored a column in the magazine which provides other gift basket companies with “tips and tricks” to creating original designs.

With a history in nursing education and corporate training, Amy, along with her husband Jim, will be featured speakers at the Jubilee! National Gift Basket Convention at the Boston Gift Show being held September 10-13, 2005, in Boston, MA. The Gift Show draws in excess of 16,000 visitors from across the United States. The Linds will be presenting two seminars for other gift basket professionals which provide keys to successfully providing service to business and corporate customers. Amy Lind credits her success in penetrating the national business market to her commitment to personal service. “So many businesses want to order a gift that can’t be found anywhere else. They’re tired of the traditional fruit baskets and are looking for something original. Many have their own products or want a custom message on their gifts. We treat every customer as though they’re a “business next door” and they come back again and again,” says Lind.

This formula has proven to be successful for Lind. Recently, The Basket Corner was contacted by a national food chain and was challenged with the task of designing over 600 gifts for a convention being held in New Orleans, LA. The customer received all of the custom gifts with a corporate shirt included, delivered to the hotel where the convention was being held. “With easy access to the internet, we’ve overcome all of the geographic boundaries and can spend our time and attention meeting our customer’s needs.” This national attention, though, doesn’t change Amy’s involvement in the local community. She is an active participant in the East County Chamber of Commerce and touts many customers throughout San Diego County including North Island Credit Union, Prudential California Realty, Sharp Rees-Steely, Driver Alliant Insurance and Aquent corporate consulting.
