We know it’s only October, but if you want to send your employees or customers a holiday gift this year- you’ll need to act fast before it’s too late.
Holiday shopping is likely to look different this year. Between global supply chain challenges, increased consumer demand, and worldwide staffing shortages, online shopping has become more difficult than ever before.
That means it’s essential to order your holiday gifts as early as possible before retailer inventory is thin or you have to wait extended periods for shipping.
Retail giants have already started offering holiday promotions earlier than usual to encourage shoppers to start early. Amazon even rolled out its “Black Friday-worthy” deals the first week of October, the earliest holiday start in the online retailer’s history.
The holidays are the perfect time to connect with your team and customers and make them feel extra special!. So here’s why it’s best to plan your gifts well in advance this holiday season.
Raise morale during the busy holiday season
Keeping your team motivated ahead of the holiday season can be quite a task. The holidays are an exceptionally busy time of year, so it’s more important than ever to keep your team motivated and make them feel appreciated for all their hard work. Sending a holiday gift in mid-November during the hectic holiday months can go a long way in boosting team morale, avoiding productivity slumps, and strengthening business relationships. And with fewer companies than usual organizing holiday parties and events – a gift is a great way to spread a little bit of holiday happiness.
