Gift Basket Business Bee

02/11/2024

We're a few days into the Autumn budget and I was wondering how our UK home based businesses are feeling about it. Do you think this budget will be better or worse for your business and why. Discuss please.

Good morning all. The change is live now and you can visit our site at https://jayne77.wixsite.com/ukgba I have redirected www.giftbee.co.uk to this new URL however it may take a few hours for this to take effect. Apologies for the inconvenience. I will send an email out to all members now notifying you of the change. Also to remind you that I have added a few new suppliers to the supplier lists. Have a great day :)

Our information and training takes the complexity out of running a gift basket business. We provide information on a range of essential skills, from identifying your niche market to pricing strategies.

Just reread my post of yesterday and I am so sorry, I sounded really abrupt. I didn't mean to be, honest ☺️ I have just checked this morning and the site is still working on its original domain name, I will change this as soon as it changes on the website and let you all know what the new URL will be. I am now at a crossroads as to whether to continue offering a subscription service for new members or whether to fully retire. This will not effect current members as the site will stay live for you just perhaps with a different URL. So sorry for the inconvenience.

At some point tomorrow the website URL will change. This is down to a lack of people signing up for membership over the last 12 months. The site will remain live for life time members just with a new domain name. I will let you know what it is tomorrow. I will also redirect the original domain name to the new one, but this will only be effective to August at which point you will only be able to access the site through the new domain URL.

Just finished updating the new website and I have added a list of all of the things that are available to subscribed members. You might have been wondering what kind of information you would have access to if you signed up. Quite a lot actually, check it out!!! ☺️

Gift Basket Business Bee is a paid subscription membership site offering support and information to home based gift basket businesses by way of helpful articles and easy to follow step by step videos.

We changed the Basket Ask It website URL to www.giftbee.co.uk this morning however please bear in mind it can take up to 48 hours for this to be made live. During this period you will receive an error page if you try and access the website. We apologise for any inconvenience but rest assured you will be able to access the site once again (using your original login details) once the web servers have completed their checks and activate the new URL

Hello All, We are in the process of a name change. All members will be notified of the site change via email, please keep your eye out for it. So why Gift Basket Business Bee. Well bee also stands for community and this is what we are hoping to achieve with our website. As it stands we have available free of charge, access to our free articles as well as acess to our forum and not forgetting members pages. These work pretty much the same as social media. You can update your photo (or logo), post any updates and folllow other members of the website (both free and paid).

Over the next few days we will be updating our website and changing the site adddress, so it might be for a little while (perhaps a few hours) the website won't be accessible until the changes have taken place.

I will keep everyone updated of the changes as and when they happen.

Our Basket Ask It domain name is due for renewal in a couple of weeks, however having retired from my own gift business I was wondering about perhaps changing the name of our site to that which my gift business was. The name is Gift Bee and personally I think it would be a good fit as the word "bee" defines in sewing bee as a community of a small informal social gathering based around the activity of making or mending clothes or other things. Other variations might be quilting bee, husking bee etc

As our website is not ony about articles and other training and business resources, but with the forum and members pages (which you can pretty much interact with as in social media) there is a community feel to the website (even if it is not currently being used to its full potential).

Let me know what you think in comments so that I can make a decision by the end of the week. Should we stay as Basket Ask It or change the name to Gift Bee
