Starting holiday shopping for your company’s employees, customers or clients in late summer or early fall may sound crazy, but if you’ve ever procrastinated on your holiday shopping for friends or family and run into issues with finding an “it” gift of the season or a wish list item, having it delivered in time, dealing with last-minute higher prices, or getting it packaged and wrapped, you’ll understand the benefits of starting your corporate gift shopping early.
With corporate gifting, there are several other things to consider that stretch your shopping timeline. Broadstroke can help!

- Does your gift need to be wrapped or packaged? We offer gift packaging when orders are placed early!
The biggest factor to consider, by far, with corporate gifting is that you will need larger quantities of an item than when you are doing personal holiday shopping.
The benefit of ordering larger quantities is that it can drive your per-piece price down, and if you have additional items left over, you can use those for new customer gifts or conference and trade show handouts! There are also challenges to consider, like trending items selling out or extended production times, which is why extra planning time helps. Customized items can take a few weeks to complete during the Holiday season.
