Kaboodle Gifts, LLC Announces New Personalized Product Line
HISTORY OF KABOODLE GIFTS
When Kaboodle gifts was started in April 2001 our primary sales avenue was catalog distribution. With postage being economical back then for mailing catalogs we found that the majority of business came around the holidays. This was great for business but didn't give us the constant sales that we were looking for. The Return on Investment (ROI) was low because of the low turn around in sales.
Next we put our catalog online and moved away from catalog sales. This was a huge improvement in sales. We found ourselves with more sales at a lower investment which in turn meant a higher profit margin. We got complacent there because we were satisfied with the returns that we were receiving. Competition began escalating in our market and combined with that and a need to take care of family member our sales slumped to the point that we couldn't effectively take care of our business in the manor that we wanted. The decision to shut our website down came soon after.
With the announcement of our Press Release we have re-entered the market with glowing success.
FUTURE OF KABOODLE GIFTS:
The personalized gift market business is a multi- billion dollar market serving many niches including but not limited to birthday's, weddings, wedding parties, individuals, children and many more. We feel that we can capture a small piece of this market. What would you rather have; 100% of one person's business or 1% of 100 peoples' business? We are looking into several other products that we feel will compliment our core line of products and hope to bring them to market soon.
BOTTOM LINE:
The only thing that is constant is change. Change in product line, change in marketing and most important change in customer service! If you are willing to keep changing, adjusting your methods of doing business you will find out that you will have a solid base of returning customers that will in turn expand your business to great lengths.

Why Personalize a Gift?- Kaboodle Gifts
Personality of gift giver:
There are many people that take a long time to find the perfect gift commemorating the special occasion be it a birthday, anniversary,baptismal, or a gift for the man cave. It is that personal touch and thought that goes into every decision that is made pertaining to the recepient. These decisions are usually made but not limited to women. Think about that statement for a minute. Women are nortorious planners. They know when Bobbie's birthday is even though Bobbie is not their child. It makes perfectly good sense that women take their time in getting the right gift for the occasion. I know that the women that are reading this post are agreeing with me and the reason I know this is because because being a guy I know the planning that my wife does to make an occasion special.
Speciality gift:
When people exchange their hard earned money for a gift they want it to be special or unique especially in today's economy with the housing crisis and the job market the way it is. The gift giver wants their gift to remain special and unique well after the date of the occasion. They don't want to know that it has been put in some storage drawer or worse yet....regifted. They put alot of thought into the process of giving the gift and seeing the reaction of the recepient justifies their actions.
Recepients personality:
Matching the right gift to the recepients personality is as much an art as anything else. Knowing the recepients personality is an absolute must. You don't want to buy a piece of jewelry for someone that doesn't wear jewelry.
These are just a few of the reasons that personalizing a gift is important. As you read this post I'm sure that you are thinkng of more. With Kaboodle Gifts we can personalize the right gift for the occasion and we can also send a special message on the package for you just ask us for the details.
