Bundle your products into gift baskets.<\/strong> Every shopper loves a gift that is already conveniently and beautifully wrapped for them. Use one of our seasonal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/boxes\/gift-basket-boxes\/mc-41\">market trays or basket containers<\/a>\u00a0packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/shred\/shredded-paper-basket-filler\/mc-22\">crinkle shred<\/a> to create an irresistible gift basket that brings together all of your best-selling products. Place your creation\u00a0inside a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/cellophane\/basket-bags\/p-246\">basket-sized cello bag<\/a> and top it\u00a0off with an easy-to-make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/ribbon\/pull-bows\/p-106\">pull bow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Box up your counter displays.<\/strong> If you have small items for sale on your checkout counter, draw some extra attention to them by placing them in an open gift box, or a small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/bags\/organza-fabric-bags\/mc-39\">burlap bag<\/a>, perhaps resting on top of some Christmas confetti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Line serving platters with Christmas tissue paper.<\/strong> Around the holidays, many retailers offer free cookies and sweets to entice shoppers to spend a little extra time in their store. Dress up your serving trays with a piece of beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/tissue-paper\/christmas-tissue-paper\/p-540\/p1313\">Christmas tissue paper<\/a> and top with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/cellophane\/clear-cellophane-rolls\/mc-40\">clear cello sheets<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/tissue-paper\/color-tissue-paper\/mc-16\">solid tissue paper<\/a> topped with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/cellophane\/christmas-cello\/p-707\">Christmas cello rolls<\/a>.

Spice up your shipping boxes.<\/strong> Don\u2019t just ship your valuable products in plain brown boxes with UPS shipping labels. Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/boxes\/mailer-boxes\/p-35\">decorative shipping boxes<\/a>. Top them off with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/printed-packaging\/labels\">custom printed label<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/printed-packaging\/ribbon\">personalized ribbon<\/a> and your customer is sure to remember you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
