I also agree that there's no need to state every brand in your gift basket collection, as arrangements can change widely due to availability.

Availability of merchandise is my main reason. As long as the quality of the generic product is almost equal to the high-end, no need to be specific. I have had some customers tell me that they were actually pleased to try something other than what they were familiar with.

Many times, our customers clue us in to what's best in this balancing act. Hi Patti,

Regarding the use of brand names for gift basket listings, I think a bit specific brand name use is a good way to go mixed in with a lot of generic descriptions. I use brand names for speific items which are high end that I constantly keep stocked. I use generic descriptions for most of the listings. The use of high end names adds a special status cachet to premium gift baskets. Hi There Shirley!

It seems easier for larger gift basket makers to tell customers about the included brands. However, smaller firms are more guarded due to the consistent unavailability of products and the need to make quick, yet equal, substitutions. I’m so glad you commented about this.
