Guest Gifts & Branded Solutions
Guest gifts & branded solutions – A branded guest gift works when it is useful or memorable, fits the hotel's positioning and appears at the right point of the guest journey. The category includes branded sweets and chocolates, premium surprises, beach bags, umbrellas, pens, pencils and other custom solutions.
Start your enquiry by stating the occasion, the quantity, the branding technology, the packaging and the required handover date. For food items, best-before and allergen information are the critical points; for durable gifts, the material, the print area and the approval of the sample.
Guest gifts & branded solutions: procurement considerations
- Guest journey and purpose: a welcome amenity, a VIP gift, a conference item or a farewell keepsake each call for a different product.
- Branding technology: the surface and the material determine whether printing, engraving, embroidery or custom packaging is the right choice.
- Minimum and lead time: for custom production, plan the minimum order, sampling and delivery deadline backwards from the campaign date.
- Packaging: hygiene, damage protection, storage space and the way the item is handed over together define the right packaging.
