Why 75% Of Your Peers Request Individually-Shipped Gifts
November 23, 2011
If you haven’t taken advantage of this service, read on for the reasons you should.
Convenience. We ship product to multiple locations across the country five days a week for the majority of your peers. There is no reason for you to turn your conference room into a warehouse during the holiday season.
For the past several years, Robb Fine of Fine Promotions has relied on Maple Ridge Farms to individually ship holiday gifts for an insurance company with brokers in different locations. “The order consists of about 30 gifts in the $200 range, and 10-15 gifts in the $80 range,” explains Robb.
Delivery date. If you receive a food gift order late in the fourth quarter, there may not be time for you to receive and reship the gifts.
Perishable products. We go to great lengths to properly package and ship perishable gifts such as cheesecake or ham to ensure freshness upon arrival. (To learn more about how we package and ship these kinds of items, click here.)
The personal touch. We can add your customer’s business card or a greeting card to each individually shipped package at no additional cost. We also offer a variety of enclosure cards to choose from, and will print your customer’s message and/or logo on the inside of the cards for a small charge. In addition, all gifts are packed in individual shipping cartons at no additional charge to your customer. (Most food gifts companies charge a fee for individual shipping cartons.)
We remain behind the scenes. We’ve all experienced it. You receive a package during the holiday season. You’re all smiles as you open the box, pull out the gift and read the enclosed card. Then you notice the vendor’s catalog or other promotional literature in the box. You cringe and think, “OMG! Are my vendors including their literature when they drop-ship packages to my customers?” (If that isn’t a sure-fire way to diminish the value of the gift, we don’t know what is!)
Maple Ridge Farms has never, nor will we ever, make even an overture towards doing business with your customers, employees, associates, family members or friends. Since 1982 we’ve sold exclusively through distributors. Buyers can browse our offerings online, but they need to place orders through you or your peers.
