Why do you need gift wrapping?
Gift wrapping is an inexpensive way to catch your customer’s attention. It is a simple add-on to your service, delights your customers and builds loyalty for your shop. Gift wrapping certainly comes in handy around holiday seasons. Personalised gift wrap also helps boost sales and make profit by the margins that gift wrapping allows.
What gift wrapping materials should you stock?
- Bulk wrapping paper in a few colours for different genders, occasions and products: gift wrapping paper, Kraft paper, cellophane
- A few colours of curling ribbons
- Gift-wrap tape with a satin finish that disappears on most wrapping papers
