NOFO has three North Carolina stores, in Wilmington, Raleigh and Charlotte.  Each store contains a café and bar, a food market, and a gift shop.  To learn more about NOFO, visit our general website www.nofo.com.

     NOFO Means Business is intended to help our business customers deal quickly and efficiently with their gifting needs.

     As a business person, we know you have a lot to do and a lot of folks to think about.  There are, of course, your customers, clients and employees.  There are the support teams, the outsourced folks, the people who have referred business to you and the other businesses who you wish to thank for their help.

     Some require an individual present and some a group office-to-office gift.  Some can be simple.  Some need to be spectacular.

     At NOFO, we have all sorts of good ideas and new ways to remember these folks.  A gift from NOFO will ensure that they remember you.

HOW TO GET IT DONE

     There are four ways that NOFO can help make your shopping quick and easy: email us, phone us, send us a fax or set  up an appointment.

HOW TO GET IT THERE

     NOFO delivers locally and ships via UPS and FedEx; or, we will pack it up for pickup.  In one onsite visit NOFO can solve a year's worth of gift giving for you.  We'll help you design gifts for the different occasions that regularly crop up on your business.  Then, you simply call us with the address and gift card information when you need a gift sent.

HOW WILL IT LOOK

     Your present can be packaged in baskets, tote boxes, cello bags, tote bags, or simply stacked.  Let us help you choose the most appropriate presentation.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST

     Everyone has a budget and we're really flexible.  Our products come in many sizes and price points as does our packaging.  We promise a beautiful, budget-friendly presentation.

HOW TO DECIDE WHAT TO SEND

     Decide if your gift is for a group or an individual.  Then, decide if you want to send food, a gift, or both in a basket.

GROUP GIFTS

     Office to office to say: Thank you for the referral.  We enjoyed working with you.  Thanks for the order.
