By Sharisa Lewis What better product than cookies to sweeten any business deal? Whether you are looking to butter up a client or offer sweet rewards for your employees, gourmet cookies are a good bet.

Cookies can enhance a meeting, remind clients of your logo, thank clients or employees and liven up a seminar. Before picking a cookie baking business, ask yourself the following:

1. What will be the main use of your cookies? For corporate events, gifts, marketing or clients?

2. How often will your business buy cookies? For bigger orders, you may need to keep track of inventory and request discounts.

3. What type of cookie brands are most popular with your clients and employees?
