Bangor, UK – Preparations are under way at Baskets Galore for an increased demand for online Christmas presents and Christmas gift baskets and hampers for delivery throughout Ireland, the UK, and Europe in spite of, or perhaps because of the economy.
"We have seen an increase in sales all year, and we anticipate this trend will continue into the Christmas season. Our customers are looking for convenience and savings, but they also do not want to sacrifice quality," explained Neil Crozier. "Christmas gift budgets are smaller, so people are looking for a way to get more for less."
The convenience of online ordering attracts customers who want to save time and travel expense. Shopping online for Christmas gift baskets and hampers also reduces the stress that comes from shopping in crowded stores.
Baskets Galore provides custom Christmas gift baskets and hampers, as well as many ready-made designs at www.BasketsGalore.co.uk
"We make Christmas shopping easy. We have a fantastic selection which our customers are proud to give to anyone on their list. They save money, yet our quality baskets and hampers look like our customers spent more, not less," said Crozier.
To get ready for the Christmas season, Baskets Galore has doubled warehouse space from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet. The staff, facilities, and supplies are in place to enable the company to operate 24/7 during the Christmas season to prepare, package, and ship Christmas gift baskets and hampers just as quickly as orders are received.
Baskets Galore has been able to keep prices low because the increased warehouse space has been offset by labour efficiency, as well as additional discounts from bulk purchases directly from suppliers. The overall result has been to reduce prices and correspondingly increase sales, according to Crozier.
"We are able to provide low-cost, quality Christmas gifts and deliver them anywhere in Europe within just two to three days," said Crozier.
