Actually, B Brockus, tulle is material similar to netting which, like cellophane and shrink wrap, is used to encase a gift basket design.

Tulle strips can be fashioned at the top as ribbon, but when designers say the word “tulle,” they’re talking about the enslosure material.

Hi Valerie /August 23,

When I left my comment for Shirley, I saw your question. In the process of researching suppliers I saw something on Tulle. Tulle is ribbon that is used to secure items that are shipped in order to keep them in place. It’s tied on the outside of the basket once the cello wrap is added. I think I found it on gowholesale.com. (click on shop by market / gift market / scroll down to the ribbon link and click on tulle). Good luck on finding a video for it. It doesn’t appear to be that difficult. Be blessed Valerie http://www.bbrockus@wholefoodwellnessllc.com

That sounds like a terrific sales system, and I wish you the very best with it.

In time, you’ll refine the videos and continue to wow your customers.

Hi Shirley,
A good friend bought a copy of your book as a present when he heard I was starting a gift basket business. I love the book and I’m currently working on my business plan. While working on my business plan – I’m also creating baskets. One thing that I have been using to enhance my sales and give customers a pre-look at the finished product is video email. My customers love it and it gives me an opportunity to receive feedback from them prior to delivery.

The system that I’m using provides me with a means to send live video thank you messages and follow-up messages for my customers (the template is branded with my companies name/logo). I send them live birthday/anniversay messages and holiday greetings (for every holiday with professionally designed templates). My customers love it and it’s proving to be an awesome additional source of income. They in turn use the system to communicate with friends, relatives, family members and clients all over the world. Shirley, I love the book and thanks for letting me share this awesome marketing tool/idea that’s helping me grow my businesses (gift baskets & video emailing). Feel free to contact me for additional information: bbrockus@wholefoodwellnessllc.com

Hi shirley,

I just have a how to question to ask you, I purchased a couple of you gift basket books and saw some of your videos. However, I was wondering if you have a video or instruction on how to wrap with tulle. I have searched the internet on how to videos on basket wrapping use tulle and have not had any success. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
