Some enterprising gift wrappers get into an agreement with local gift stores and malls to set up their businesses there on a temporary basis.

PROMOTING THE BUSINESS


While you can wrap gifts for occasions such as anniversaries , engagement ceremony , baby showers and birthdays all year round, the peak season is during holidays and festival times.

If you are a creativity freak , then you could extend  your business from only gift wrapping to creating wonderful items for different occasions . For example, you could create a ring-holder for engagement ceremonies , etc.

The gift wrapper should start advertising well before the season starts. You could do this by sticking posters wherever possible , distributing pamphlets , advertising on the local daily, radio , etc.

When you go to shop for the supplies make sure you select a variety of wrapping papers , fancy ribbons , handmade gift bags, acrylic papers,  wrappers with religious motifs, and wrappers with cute designs. Variety is key!

You should take care of every tiny bit! Your wrapping should be almost flawless! The most important part in this business is your punctuality.
