New features on our website

2011-10-25T07:31:00.000-07:00

We have been working hard getting our new website ready for the Holiday season. The newly redone JDW website (www.jdwdist.com) has a bundle of new features that will make your ordering process easier. You will no longer be taken to the shopping cart each time you add something to your order. Instead, a little mini cart will appear at the top of your screen. You can also see a quantity discount chart on each item. If you have a hard time choosing what you want in your basket, take advantage of our basket kits and let us pick for you!

Customer Highlight - Love N' Bloom

2011-08-03T11:58:00.000-07:00

The recent economy downturn has caused many of us to rethink our business plan in order to make it. Whether it was moving to a new location or adding new products or services to our customers. Love N' Bloom in Huntington Beach, CA had to do both.

Love N' Bloom's new location on Beach Blvd.

A typical day for Carmen and Tom at Love N' Bloom used to consist of creating flower arrangements and gifts. Now, they do it all. Flowers, gifts, balloons, customized gifts, embroidery, and much more. They have really changed it up and are now succeeding far more then they could have ever imagined.

Tom creating customized coasters for a client

They are really searching out what their clients want and need. For some, it's a personalized mug for a birthday gift. For another, it's a personalized coaster set with a different name on each one. They will do any job, larger or small. And this is how they are thriving in this down economy.


The finished product

What have you done to change things up? Are you surviving? Or are you thriving? Let us know what you need from us, and we will do our best to help you thrive!

Starting a Gift Basket Business

2009-04-29T09:36:00.000-07:00

The past few years have been rough on all of us. With the economy in it's current state, people are caught wondering if it will ever recover. Unemployment rates are at an all time high and people are trying to find any way possible to make an extra dollar. We've found that many people are trying to start a home based business and many of them have started with gift basket or promotional businesses. JDW Distributors is set up to help get your business started. With only a $25 minimum, you can buy whatever you need to get started without having to meet the high minimums of many of our vendors. We sell our products individually and give discounts when you buy in quantity. Also, we ship everything from our warehouse in Orange, CA. This saves you on shipping costs since it is all coming from the same place!

This time will pass and our economy will recover. Why not get in on the ground floor and start the business you've always dreamed about. We are here to help you out and look forward to doing business with you! Visit our website at www.jdwdist.com.
