Ahhh, July—warm weather, sparklers, BBQs, and planning this year's holiday gifting program. That’s right; you read that correctly! Even though the holidays are months away, it’s easy to fall into old holiday habits and put planning ahead for the holiday season on the back burner. Until, all of a sudden, it’s October 31st, and the stress sets in. Not this year—let the Gifting Experts help you get ahead of the curve.
Amid the great resignation, supply chain challenges, a slow emergence from quarantine, and economic inflation, delivering memorable holiday appreciation is more crucial now than ever before. In this week’s blog, our team dives into three benefits of planning your holiday program early and how it can help your company maximize a 100% Return On Appreciation.™
Start the conversation and sign your contract now
With the current state of shipping and sourcing, Q3 is the exact time of year to start prepping and planning your holiday program. Timing is everything, especially amid ongoing supply chain challenges. Typically companies include a holiday budget into their fiscal planning at the beginning of each year. So, if you already know your holiday budget per person, why not start planning your holiday program today?
We all know the phrase “the early bird gets the worm,” this classic expression reinforces the idea that the earlier you start something, the more likely you are to have a successful outcome. After you get a demo or receive a proposal with your gifting options and are ready to partner with Cultivate, sign your contract. The earlier you book, the better.
Focus on appreciating the ones who matter most
Traditionally, holiday programs gift catch-alls or one-gift-fits-all options. We know that this type of appreciation does not work. These gifts fall short every time and leave the recipient feeling undervalued and unseen. Break the cycle of outdated gifting by focusing on quality gifting versus quantity gifting. Take your budget to the next level and maximize your return.
