Holiday Gifting Gets More Complicated as Your Company Grows
Sending holiday gifts to 20 employees can be relatively simple.
Sending gifts to 200, 2,000, or employees across multiple offices is an entirely different project.
Suddenly, your team is managing product quantities, inventory, addresses, packaging, assembly, shipping deadlines, remote employees, and multiple destinations.
What started as an employee appreciation initiative can quickly become a major operational project.
That is why large organizations need more than great gift ideas.
They need a corporate gifting partner that can handle the logistics behind them.
The Challenges of Large Scale Employee Holiday Gifting
Large employee gifting programs have more moving pieces than most companies initially expect.
Common challenges include:
• Managing hundreds or thousands of products
• Coordinating multiple vendors
• Receiving and storing inventory
• Collecting employee addresses
• Shipping to multiple offices
• Shipping directly to remote employees
• Managing different employee gift options
• Tracking individual shipments
• Handling last minute employee additions
• Meeting holiday shipping deadlines
For HR, People Operations, Marketing, and administrative teams, managing all of this internally can take significant time.
Bundled helps take that work off your team’s plate.
One Holiday Experience Across Multiple Locations
Employees may work at headquarters, regional offices, satellite locations, or from home.
Their holiday experience should still feel consistent.
Bundled can create one centralized gifting program and distribute gifts wherever your employees are located.
That might include:
• Bulk shipments to corporate offices
• Individual shipments to employee homes
• Different shipments for regional teams
• Gifts sent directly to executives
• Custom gifting experiences for remote employees
Centralizing the program helps maintain consistent products, branding, packaging, and messaging across your organization.
What If Employees Want Different Gifts?
Not every employee wants the same thing.
For larger organizations, offering choice can make employee gifting more personal.
Instead of sending one universal gift, companies can create an employee choice program where recipients select from approved gift options.
This can be especially useful for organizations with:
• Diverse employee populations
• Remote teams
• Multiple locations
• Different job functions
• Large employee counts
Bundled can help create custom gifting experiences that provide choice while keeping the program manageable for your internal team.
Warehousing Makes Recurring Gifting Easier
Holiday gifting does not have to be a once a year scramble.
Companies that already have employee gifting programs can use warehousing and inventory management to support gifting throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
Products can be stored and used for:
• New hire gifts
• Employee anniversaries
• Recognition programs
• Promotions
• Company milestones
• Employee appreciation
• Holiday gifts
Instead of starting from scratch every time you want to recognize employees, your gifting infrastructure is already in place.
Why Companies Outsource Large Corporate Gifting Programs
The larger the gifting program, the more valuable it becomes to have one partner managing the details.
Bundled can handle:
• Gift strategy
• Product sourcing
• Vendor coordination
• Custom branding
• Receiving
• Warehousing
• Inventory management
• Human powered assembly
• Quality control
• Address based fulfillment
• Nationwide shipping
• Package tracking
Our team becomes an extension of your team, managing the logistics behind the experience.
Start Planning Large Employee Holiday Programs Early
Large gifting programs require more planning than small individual orders.
Product availability, custom branding, packaging production, address collection, assembly, and shipping all require time.
Starting early gives your company more product choices and more opportunities to customize the experience.
It also reduces the need for last minute substitutions or rushed shipping.
If your company is planning holiday gifts for a large employee population, early planning can make a significant difference.
Make Large Scale Gifting Feel Personal
Scale should not mean sacrificing thoughtfulness.
Whether you are gifting 100 employees or thousands, the recipient should still feel like someone considered the experience they are receiving.
Bundled combines thoughtful gift curation with the operational capabilities needed to execute large corporate gifting programs.
