Have you ever met local business person and wanted to give them advice?
I'm feeling that way about the lady selling her handmade chocolates at the farmer's market. They are nice chocolates and she does alcohol shot ones, which are really nice. However, her presentation just sucks. The biggest box she has will only hold about a dozen chocolates and it's plain white. Boooring. It's also quite flimsy and wouldn't survive shipping well.
I want to say to her, you need gilding! You need big boxes with bows! You need TINS! You need boxes that say, this is the best darn chocolate EVER! Send me to your friends and family as a gift!
But it's not my business so I said nothing and got a few chocolates for myself, rather than a big box for my mom. Getting two separate boxes would have been lame and I wanted to get her more than a dozen chocolates...
