How to Send 25, 50 or 100 Gifts Without Placing 100 Orders

The practical question behind a hundred-gift list is never which beef. It is who is going to type a hundred addresses.

“So when it comes time to give, uh, a Christmas gift, send us the name and the address, and you don't have to touch it. And it shows up, you know, on your parents, or on your friends, or on your employees, or on your important clients, uh, desk or their doorstep. It doesn't feel like, you know, you just send them a card with 20 bucks in it.”

How it runs

• You send one list. Names, addresses, and anything you want noted against a particular recipient.
• We pick or you pick. One box for everyone, or different boxes for different tiers of your list.
• Your card goes in. Send the artwork once and it is in every box.
• We dispatch. You are not tracking a hundred parcels.

Occasions this gets used for

“Employee thank yous, employee anniversaries, uh, you know, using it as a bonus, uh, as a, as a sales reward or as a celebration that we won a big contract. We, um, we, you know, hit a target for a quarter, uh, you know, sales competitions, you're in the top 10% on the sales team. Uh, you know, sometimes you, you win that, you know, trip to the Bahamas, uh, just as easily win that, uh, you know, year long steak, steak box subscription.”

It is not only December. Sales targets, work anniversaries, closing a contract, a quarter that went well. A box of beef lands differently from a gift card emailed from a system, and costs you the same amount of effort once the list exists.

Start earlier than feels necessary

“Reach out to us early. Uh, you know, Christmas is our busiest time and we run out of stuff quick. And so we like to take care of our corporate customers and our longstanding customers first. So, um, yeah, get in touch early, you know, reach out in September, early October and, uh, start the process helps us to know, you know, about how many boxes, about what price points, uh, you're thinking, you know, for you, whether it's employees or, or, uh, clients.”

A hundred-box list placed in December is a harder list to fill well than the same list placed in October. This is a farm with a finite number of animals, not a warehouse.

Splitting a list into tiers

Most long lists are not one list. There are twenty people who should get something substantial and eighty who should get something good. Trying to treat them identically produces either an enormous bill or a gift nobody notices.

Send us the list with the tiers marked and we will pick a box for each. The recipients never see the tiering; they see a box of beef from a farm with your card in it.

What we need from you

• Names and full addresses, in whatever format your system exports.
• Any recipient notes, such as dietary restrictions or an office that closes for the holidays.
• Your card artwork, if you want it in the box.
• A date range you want them to land in, rather than a single day.
