Jingle bells are ringing, and the holiday spirit is in the air! If you're tired of the same old gift-giving grind, fear not – we've got the scoop on how Cultivate's online gifting platform is spicing up the holiday season! Year after year, our clients sing joyous carols thanks to the seamless and downright jolly they experience after using Cultivate for their festive gifting needs. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

CEO Emma's Sleigh-ride of Success:
Picture this: Emma is caught in a holiday time crunch, desperately searching for gifts for clients. Enter Cultivate, the holiday hero! “After a quick Google search, a Cultivate ad popped up. I filled out a form and talked to a Sales Rep on the same day. They gave me a demo of the Platform, and I was sold.” The result? She narrowly beat Santa, sending gifts to her entire client list in 5 minutes flat. Clients loved their gifts so much they’re still thanking her a year later! “It was a holiday hail-mary turned into a touchdown, and I will definitely use Cultivate again and again for all of my gifting needs.” 

Did you know that 39% of customers return after receiving a holiday gift? Talk about the gift that keeps on giving! 

 

Jason's Holly Jolly Ice Maker Adventure:
Senior Sales Manager Jason had a festive blast picking his holiday gift through Cultivate’s Platform. With choices as challenging as deciding who gets the last gingerbread cookie, Jason landed on a Nugget Ice Maker. The result? Pure ice-solation bliss! “Honestly, I would have never spent $650 on an ice maker, but it is fantastic. Cocktails, Iced café lattes, ice water - so yummy!” Who knew a nugget could bring so much joy? Jason, that's who! The best thing, apart from choosing a gift the whole family loves, is how it created a sense of appreciation that lasted the whole year, “Big thanks to my company for a fun shopping experience - can't wait to see what we get to choose from this holiday season!”

Did you know that 86% of employees surveyed said receiving a holiday gift from their employer makes them feel valued more than any other reward type?

 

Kerry's Sleigh-ride of Smoothness:
Event Gifting Buyer, Kerry, isn't one to Scrooge around when it comes to online gifting experiences. “I've done a handful of online gifting experiences over the last 2 years, and this was by far the smoothest. Cultivate had a great product offering and a nice website which my client loved.” The website's as snazzy as a gingerbread house, and the product offerings? Sweeter than grandma's fruitcake. Kerry, playing Santa's little helper, loved the dashboard – making her job a piece of [fruit]cake! “As the acting middleman between my client and Cultivate, I LOVED the dashboard. It made my life so easy to be able to log in each day and provide easy reports to my clients.” The quick and clear answers to her questions made for a holly jolly experience. “Overall, this was a great experience!” 

With a 28% Return on lapsed customers and a 36% increase in referral rates after sending holiday gifts, Cultivate isn't just about gifting; it's a strategy to boost customer loyalty and referrals.

Leslie's verdict? Cultivate is the star on top of the holiday tree — “Fantastic service from start to finish!”

It's more than just a gift; it's a gesture that reduces turnover by 31% and lowers frustration levels by 28.6%.

Cultivate turned a regular gift into a holiday magic moment! “Hands down, the best corporate gift I’ve ever received.”
