Here’s an inspiring success story for those of you who might be thinking about starting your own gift or gourmet business. Hiramia Milán of Cielo Gift Baskets says she daydreamed for months about starting her own gifting business. She describes herself as “the crafty friend everyone went to when they needed help with a birthday gift, a gift for a client, etc.”
After thinking about it long enough, she finally decided to quit her job, cash in her 401K, and start Cielo Gift Baskets. But she didn’t burn any bridges when she quit. Instead, she actually approached her two previous employers and starting doing business with them. What a great way to give herself a head start!
The Growth Is In the Details
With outstanding attention to detail in every single gift delivered, combined with fast, friendly and accommodating service, Cielo Gift Baskets has been growing skyward ever since.
Hiramia utilizes Facebook and Instagram to promote the business. Word of mouth has been especially helpful in growing the company, as well as the connections made at her local Chamber of Commerce.
The Right Gift Basket Packaging Partner
Hiramia found Nashville Wraps early on in her business through a Google search for basic gift basket materials. She loves our wide selection and fast shipping. “I placed my first order and was just fascinated by how many products, styles, and colors Nashville Wraps carries,” she says. She also loves our discounts: FREE shipping on orders of $300+.
She says she now purchases about 90% of her gift basket packaging from Nashville Wraps. She also says there’s another reason she loves ordering from us: “Customer Service is top of the line, and Beverly Vaughn, my customer service agent, has always gone the extra mile to satisfy my small business needs.”
Starting On the Right Foot with Nashville Wraps
She continues, “Having your own business is not an easy task, but with Nashville Wraps on our side, this has definitely been a much easier and more pleasurable experience for us. We are truly grateful for the extensive variety, the quality of the products, and the impeccable service your company has provided for us the last 5 years, and we are looking forward to 20 more years of partnership!”
We hope you’ll follow Hiramia’s lead in starting your own business, if that has been your dream.
It’s so inspiring to see what our customers can accomplish with a dream, a little bit of beautiful packaging, and plenty of hard work!
