For promotions I was having them stand for a week or two, but people handled them and they definitely showed signs of shopsoil and wear. Perhaps behind glass or out of the "reach zone" This all sounds good, but a concern is my gift baskets tend to have a definite “peak display” period before the packaging loses its lustre and attracts a thin film of dust and can look tardy.

I have been debating with the idea of selling my baskets in a local gift shop and now I am just going to go for it. I think for me selling the baskets outright would be best because I do not have a lot of time to monitor and fix the baskets. Thanks again for showing the pros and cons of each option.
