The author, Doris Miller, started her own Texas gift basket company in 2002. As she shopped around for a Texas made cup for a gift, she noticed that most of the gift basket companies were selling things not actually made in Texas. She created her own regional gift basket company that specialized in selling only Texas made items. The business was very successful and in December 2004 the company was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of five best regional gift basket companies in the USA. She sold the company but her experiences in developing, operating and even selling the company will guide you as you create your own regional gift basket business.
