Fruit Hampers Delivery

Thank you, and Welcome to Newcastle's best Award-Winning Hampers.

Finding the right Fruit Hamper for delivery in Newcastle shouldn't be a hit and miss affair - you can go with a trusted local business with years of experience, a proven track record and a jealously guarded highly regarded status - or you could risk it with a flowershop or some multi-level marketing website.

There's good reason Hunter Valley Hampers are
still number one after all these years.

 When you choose your fruit basket, be mindful that handmade and hand assembled fruit hampers have that personal touch that simply isn't present when you go with a factory-style #fruit #basket business.

Simply knowing your fruit hamper has been put together by hand with your specific order top of mind means you are most likely to get exactly what you had envisioned - not just a pack and send copy that lacks meaning and personality.  That's what we do for you.

There is something about the quality and service of a handmade fruit basket that fits so well with the whole gift giving idea - it's what inspires and motivates us as fruit basket artisans.

 

Simply add ribbon, your personal message and a delivery address
and your fruit basket is ripe and ready for delivery same day across Newcastle.

You've decided to send a fruit basket and you type into the search bar fruit baskets delivery - and you have a good look at what's on offer. 

What exactly are you looking for?  Big generous baskets?  Great value for your dollar?  Plenty of fresh seasonal fruit?  Brilliant presentation and sparkling styling? 

There's more than enough reasons to choose a particular fruit hamper from the other fruit baskets - but after working in the gift delivery industry for over a decade, it's nice to know some professionals have got it covered. 

Here, we offer a behind the scenes insight into what makes a bestselling fruit basket and just exactly what it is that's lends some fruit baskets a winning style over the rest of the competition.
 

A Cornucopia of fresh seasonal fruit to tempt you

Sending a fruit basket is overwhelming a personal touch to connect with another human being - so it just makes sense you would only trust your choice to another personal family based business.

Over the years we have many new customers coming to us after having less that satisfactory experiences with other fruit hamper suppliers - and getting less than presentation quality product and service.

You know yourself when you order from a smaller firm that each and every sale is more important - and doesn't get lost in the noise and confusion of being just one order of the hundreds at a corporate headquarters.

Establishing the trust and authenticity that goes towards building a lasting relationship with your customers is something that smaller family operated businesses excel at.

So make your personal gesture to your friend or family reflect the whole personal idea and choose an independent fruit basket seller.

Newcastle's Finest Handmade Artisans

Here are some recednt interviews we have sourced from local Newcastle business people who choose to sell their handmade and artisan products at the local markets as a stallholder.  You will be both surprised and delighted to hear their stories so generously shared here for your enjoyment.

Blackbird Artisan Sourdough

Meeting handmade artisans if never dull – and Carolyn’s enthusiasm for her product, and the handmade process is obvious – but most importantly perhaps is her overall vision of connection.  Carolyn shared the whole handmade story of her bakery and how she uses local products and freshness is a priority – but the conversation led to a deeper feeling for connection.  A connection between the end consumer and the handmade producer that has been lost by the multi-layered corporate food industry, where reducing costs is the overarching determinant above everything else.

 You can read the full story at Australia's Home of Handmade Artisans for complete information.

The Little Red

 A delightful interview to see first hand how the balance between working for yourself and starting a new family always means you will be productive creatively.

In a previous life, Kristie managed a restaurant in the vineyards region, so when her now 2 year old came along, so began the genesis of The Little Red.   Though still working a couple of days a week, Kristy is trying to manage a transition across to doing her passion fulltime.  She loves being able to do her handmade work at night, or during the day and is grateful for the child friendly work/life balance, without being overly dependent on outside support or childcare.

 You're welcome to read more stories and of course share your comments online at find handmade.

Setting the Standard;  Interview With Hunter Valley Hampers
OFFICIAL MEDIA RELEASE DECEMBER 2013

AFTER A HALF DOZEN Christmas Seasons as the creative designer behind Hunter Valley Hampers, Kacy has a special feeling for knowing what her buying public wants.

And when you consider her Fruit Baskets Newcastle BlogHunter Valley Hampers has sold out completely in 2011 and 2012 on a budget of zero advertising, it's no wonder she must be doing something right.  Artisan Food, Craft Beer and handmade fresh regional produce is a winning formula.

Gift Basket Delivery in Newcastle

Over coffee, we sat down and asked her secrets to making a delicious gourmet hamper and what makes Hunter Valley Hampers a trusted authority on gift baskets.

"No Pretzels," Kacy laughs, when I ask her the secret to gourmet gift baskets, "Once we stopped putting in bags of pretzels we noticed we got a different clientele."

Keeping it Real for the Peeps

The secret to Hunter Valley Hampers success over the last decade (the business has operated independently since 1988, although only recently moved to 'high end' gourmet in 2009) is offering quality product regardless of the price.

"People are willing to pay for quality product," Kacy explains, showing a jar of tunisian spiced pickle made locally, "and so long as they know you are backing the product up with a meaningful purpose, place and personality; they will pay a premium price."

"We see competitors offering plastic poinsettia flowers and questionable "gourmet" products like john west smoked oysters - these things just don't meet what our clients expect in a regional gourmet hamper," Kacy offered as a reason for the loyal customer base at Hunter Valley Hampers.  "It's really quite embarrassing to turn up at a corporate tower in Sydney and expect the executives to accept a hamper filled with this sort of stuff - I can see why people keep coming back to us.  We keep our hampers understated and let the real food do all the talking."

Making meaningful Connections with the Community

Things are looking great this Christmas, but I feel the moment of truth for any Christmas Gift Basket is the minutes after arriving home when the hamper box is sitting by your front door.  You place the box on the kitchen counter and open it to reveal a wicker basket filled with clinking jars, bottles, pouches and pudding - all presentation packed under crisp cellophane and ready for display under the Christmas Tree in time for the big day. 

An authentic artisan hamper for a genuine, homestyle Christmas Day.  Merry Christmas, and Give Yourself the Gift of a Joyous Sharing Christmas with real friends and valued family members.

Being grateful and sharing your thanks makes life a richer experience

Newcastle is a dirty, post industrial city - ask anyone who hasn't been there...

Answering the question about highly regarded and personally recommended gifts to say get well, celebrate a new baby, enjoy a christening and alternatively, remember a friend at a funeral or bereavement is a good suggestion.  So what would we recommend for a local designer to share a fruit basket around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie?  Certainly, our impartiality may be blurred by the fact that we have been working behind the counter at a trusted, established fruit hamper and gift basket retailer with a twenty year history in the Hunter Region.

For starters, be certain the person you are ordering the fruit basket from will actually be making it and delivering it for you.  It is simply not good enough to let an affiliate sales agent take your order and skim nearly 20% off your order price only to send the order to a fruit basket specialist closer to where the order is to be delivered.  Just think - you wouldn't go to a restaurant and order a meal and then have the waiter run out the door and on sell your order to another kitchen - would you?

This kind of affiliate marketing is rife in the florist industry and has penetrated the hamper industry to some extent.  It means that you can place your order with one local Newcastle company and then have some other mob deliver your order that you have no connection with.

Newcastle Local Websites

In 2013, if you aren't online you are missing a vital cog of your marketing and exposure.  Without changing any of your existing business practice - simply adding an effective brochure-style website would at the bare minimum give searchers something at least to find and discover about your business.

Just think of it as a 24/7 advert diverting enquiries to your business - or maybe without it you have nothing heading to your business.  At Organic Digital I have run my own business for 8 years before I started building websites that work for people who want results.  It might not be about jargon and corporate invoices for you - and it isn't for me either.

Here's 10 more reasons why you should start doing business online right now.
1. New economy.

Internet has created a new economy, which by its explosive growth and sheer size already changed our perception of traditional way of doing business.

Companies like Amazon and Ebay have successfully created domination on areas, where just few years ago traditional brick-and-mortar companies were kings.

But, in order to be successful on the net, you don’t have to be a giant like them.  In fact, now it's all about being found in local search - which means a local presence in Newcastle is more powerful and important than ever.

Many small and mid-size companies managed to build online businesses without fancy corporate web design companies or their ridiculous pricing systems. 

Right now, studies show small and mid-size companies will be the main growth force of e-commerce in 2013 going forward.


2. Internet is a perfect venue for business.

In order to make a sale you need visitors to physically walk to your shop, or track down your number.

On the Internet, your shop is a click away from your next customer.

With Organic Digital your Internet storefront can be another pillar holding up your brick and mortar shop.

Creating Great Memories

In the day to day bustle of life, where saving money is often given too high a priority, giving a Fruit Hamper offers validation, and a gesture of meaningful connection that is remembered.

Too often we pause to think that it would be “nice to” send a gift, but when it comes to picking up the phone and making the call with delivery details, we find ourselves just not that emotionally available.

Becoming Someone Who is Appreciative and Gracious

We all strive for self improvement and as the sales of self help books attest, the social appetite for becoming a better person is insatiable.

Demonstrating your own willingness to give, share and take the real life opportunity to connect in a caring a positive way is the first step toward a fulfilling this lifestyle goal.
