Well, we missed one. \u00a0<\/span>The May newsletter was a casualty of the season this year. \u00a0On a personal note, both of my sons are graduating this year – my eldest from high school, my youngest from 8th grade. \u00a0That has created a whirlwind of ceremonies, events and assorted celebrations. \u00a0We’ve had a fabulous time, but things do manage to slip.<\/span>For BasketWorks, May was crazy busy, more so this year than ever before. \u00a0Mother’s Day and attending the Sweets and Snacks show keeps me busy most years, but this year we also changed the hosting service for our website (no more downtime, hurray!), added new designs to the site, cleared out excess inventory and had our first survey on our Facebook page.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that your spring has been as much fun as mine has been, and that your summer is full of fun, family and friends.<\/p>\n

\"lavendar<\/a>\u200bFacebook Survey<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n

Every week I order product. \u00a0Generally, I am simply reordering those products that we use all the time – containers, shred, ribbon, etc. \u00a0No big deal, no significant decisions or choices to make.<\/p>\n

But often I am selecting something new and trying to guess what my clients will prefer. \u00a0Sour Jelly Bellys or the traditional 49 flavor assortment? \u00a0Ginger cookies or Lemon snaps? \u00a0 Snickerdoodle coffee or hazelnut? \u00a0Or just a morning blend?<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we held a survey\u00a0on ourFacebook page,<\/a>\u00a0where we asked for YOUR input on what our next Bath and Body scent should be as we expand our line. \u00a0 The winning scent in our survey was Lemon Cream, with 31.9% of the vote. \u00a0We are sending a $50\u00a0gift certificate to Petra S. as a thank you for participating. \u00a0I am planning on asking your opinion monthly and giving one respondent a $50 gift certificate – one more way we’re listening to our customers.<\/p>\n

We will be posting our next survey next week and it will run for two weeks – be sure to watch for it!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

An Extra\u00a0Boost..<\/strong><\/div>\n

Last summer at the Chicago Gift Show, we met the folks from An Extra Boost of… and absolutely fell in love with their oversized mugs.<\/p>\n

We took their Extra Boost of Comfort and Extra Boost of XOXO and created four different styles – soup, coffee, chocolate and tea.<\/p>\n

Take a look,<\/a>\u00a0let us know what you think!<\/td>\n
