Products Your Customers Will Be Thankful For

In the middle of the dog days of summer, it’s hard to turn our attention to the upcoming holidays. But summer vacations will soon be over, school will be back in full swing, the air will turn crisp, the leaves will start falling, and preparations for the Thanksgiving holiday will be on everyone’s mind.

Make this season one your customers will be inspired to plan for by offering beautiful and unique Thanksgiving decorations and gourmet foods. Adding these products will enhance the season and encourage your customers to add some unique flair to their Thanksgiving holiday. These FGmarket vendors can help you have a bountiful Thanksgiving.

Everyone loves a hot, rich cup of coffee on a cold holiday morning. That’s why offering your customers a fantastic selection of gourmet coffees is a great idea. Place a variety of blends, flavored coffees and teas in gourmet gift baskets to welcome those out-of-town guests. Depart from the typical brew for a specialty brew on Thanksgiving morning with some selections from Wicked Joe. They specialize in providing incomparable coffee and being kind to the earth in the process of growing and cultivating the tastiest coffee beans.
Wicked Joe offers a substantial variety of organic and specialty coffees from the Americas, East Africa, and the Pacific. They also provide flavored coffees; which are a welcome change to a big Thanksgiving morning breakfast or afternoon dessert. Some of their tastiest include Vermont Maple Nut Crunch (great with waffles or pancakes!) and Blueberry CinnaMaine to compliment homemade blueberry muffins. Frankie’s Nutty Vanilla and Hazelnut Cream are hits with homemade pumpkin and pecan pies, while Pumpkin Spice and Butter Rum add a sweet ending to a full day of enjoying family and friends.

Of course, the attention at Thanksgiving is on the food. Encourage your customers to break from some of the same old, tired recipes and add something special to their holiday menu this year by offering exceptional quality products from Culver Duck Farms. Located in Indiana Amish country, five generations of duck breeding and growing makes this family a major supplier of gourmet quality duckling to fine restaurants and specialty stores worldwide.
In addition to the turkey, add one of Culver Duck Farms’ all-natural whole ducklings or chickens to the menu this year. Offer customers marinated duck breast, smoked duck, and duck sausage, which are great additions to salads and soups. Culver Duck Farms even carries an array of tools especially useful in preparing their products, as well as cooking tips and instructions. For an especially unique touch, their Hand-made Duck Oil Bath Soap makes a great hostess gift or addition to a gourmet gift basket.

It’s also important to remember Thanksgiving decorations as we plan for the holidays. Home decor is a vital part of making the holidays special. Decorator & Craft Corporation (DCC) offers fresh and innovative products for holidays and everyday in their “We’re Gathered Together” collection. Turn October pumpkins into Thanksgiving turkeys with Decorator Craft Corporation’s Rusty Turkey metal decorations that slip right into the pumpkin; a great Thanksgiving idea that can be used year after year.
DCC, also, offer beautiful garlands and wreaths such as their Natural Pip Berry items, Frosted Fall Beaded Garland, and their Orange Berry Garland and Wreath with Fall Leaves. These will transform any doorway and set the mood for a beautiful holiday. To add sparkle and shine to your Thanksgiving table, DCC’s Copper Lacquer Plate Chargers enhance any dinnerware and add depth of color and texture to the Thanksgiving table.

For a rustic touch to holiday decor, Intrada offers some of the best in Italian ceramics and pottery. Intrada’s handmade Italian pieces blend with any lifestyle and transform the ordinary into fanciful decor. Intrada’s four Thanksgiving collections are Fantasia Autumn, Autunno, Pheasants and Cornucopia. Each of these collections has its’ own unique beauty and adds flair to a holiday table setting. Choose from pumpkin tureens, turkey tureens, turkey sauceboats and acorn plates.
The Pheasants collection offers life-like hen pheasants, single pheasants and fall leaf candleholders to add that outdoorsy feel to your home. For beautiful color, the Cornucopia wall decor in various sizes adds a splash of Tuscan colors to any decor. These beautiful ceramic pieces make wonderful hostess gifts for the holidays, as well.
Most stores offer the same type of Thanksgiving decor and foods. Give your customers that specialty store service by providing unique ideas that spur their creativity, while offering items of quality and value they will appreciate. These are just a few of the many FGmarket Thanksgiving vendors who can provide the products to make your Thanksgiving Sales bountiful.
