Genye In A Basket (South Orange, New Jersey) You’ve probably heard the phrase “Where every wish is granted with a gift basket.” Sometimes, a gift basket is only one wish away. Paul and NaTasha Anthony are the Founder and CEO of Genye In A Basket (http://www.genyeinabasket.com ). What started out making baskets as a hobby and it soon evolved into a promising business venture. Paul and NaTasha started out making baskets for loved ones free of charge. They used their own money to produce the products for the gift baskets. Eventually, family and friends soon became very interested in actually purchasing there gift baskets. After a while, they had built a clientele base that eventually branched out to several cities by word of mouth. Next they started visualizing the possibility of having more than just a home-based business, but perhaps a virtual store front. The company began selling gift baskets through retail stores in 2004. Three years later, Genye In A Basket launched its own site on the web. The first day the website was available we received 100 orders; the second day, 175; and on the third day, 356. Genye In A Basket represents an entrepreneurial venture that is unique in many ways. The owners started out by provided free gift baskets to love ones, families and friends. Of even greater significance, perhaps, is the spotlight that this startup focuses on the social value of entrepreneurship- . Website: www.genyeinabasket.com End
