Save a Step: Why Individually Shipping your Holiday Gifts Can Ease Your Holiday Stress

With the holiday gift giving season fast approaching, individually shipping gifts directly to the recipients saves time and stress!

With the hectic schedule that most of us endure during the holiday rush, many people do not have the opportunity to take the time to hand-deliver gifts to their customers, employees, and other business associates – although they wish they could!  Have you ever come into the holiday rush season and realized that your conference room is bursting at the seams with gifts that need to be delivered or shipped?  Do your customers depend upon you to ship their gifts to their clients?

Take a moment and check in with your supplier!  Some, like the team here at Maple Ridge Farms, offer to individually ship gifts directly to the recipients, saving both you and your customer time and money.  If you haven’t taken advantage of this service from Maple Ridge Farms, here are a few reasons to give it some thought...

We ship 5 days a week, to destinations all across the country, ensuring freshness!

Convenience!  We can of course ship your order to you or directly to your customer.  But we can also ship bulk to multiple locations or direct to each recipient.  We ship gifts all across the country five days a week.  There is no reason to turn your office (or your customers’) into a warehouse.  Let us manage the handling!

Perishable Product Protection!  We know how much you and your customers love our delicious chocolates, nuts, cheese, sausage, hams and more!  So here at Maple Ridge Farms, we go to great lengths to review each gift we offer and verify that the packaging and ship methods we use meet the highest standards and ensure freshness upon arrival.  (Click here to learn more about how we package and ship these kinds of items.)

Delivery Date!  If you or your customers are running behind (which can happen easily with the hustle and bustle of the holidays) you may not have time to have gifts shipped to you, with the need to turn around and reship them to the recipients.

The personal touch is still there!  Although we may be handling the shipping, we can still help to extend your customer’s sentiment.  We are able to add business or greeting cards to each individually shipped package.  We also offers a variety of greeting cards that can be printed with your requested message and inserted!  Do you need custom messages matched to specific people?  We can meet those requests as well!  Simply contact a Maple Ridge Farms Gift Specialist for more details regarding our various card services.

Many vendors, like the one shown above (not Maple Ridge Farms), include catalogs, coupons and literature with shipments encouraging recipients to buy directly from them.

You Still Make the Magic Happen!  We remain your secret behind the scenes.  We all know what it’s like to receive a gift from someone that comes packed with the vendor’s catalogs and promotional literature.  It is one thing hen you are ordering something personal for yourself, but it is entirely unappealing if you are sending or receiving a gift.  In business gift-giving, it’s enough to make you cringe and think, “Oh No!  Did my vendor really include their literature when they drop-shipped packages to my customer?!?”  That is a quick way to weaken the impact of what could have been an impressive gift.

Maple Ridge Farms will never include its catalog or promotional literature in client gifts, nor make any overture towards doing business with your customers, employees, associates, family members, or friends.  Since 1982 we’ve sold exclusively through promotional products distributors.  Buyers can browse our offerings online, however they need to place their orders through you.
