Promotional products continue to prove their worth as powerful tools for employee engagement and corporate gifting. Two recent success stories from our dealer network demonstrate how strategic promotional product solutions can address diverse business needs while delivering significant value.
Healthcare Excellence Meets Strategic Gifting
When a major healthcare network needed to execute an end-of-year appreciation program, they turned to one of our experienced dealers with a challenging request: deliver high-impact gifts within a specific budget and tight timeline. The project requirements included:
- Budget range: $50-100 per recipient
- Focus on technology and wellness items
- Strict delivery deadline for a January celebration
- Year-end billing requirements
Our dealer leveraged K&B’s Preferred Supplier Program to create a customized wellness kit that combined practical luxury with thoughtful presentation. The solution included a carefully curated self-care package nested within a versatile tote bag, resulting in a $19,000 program that delighted recipients while meeting all client requirements.
The key to success? Our dealer notes that staying current with supplier capabilities through K&B’s Amplify webinar series provided crucial insights that helped shape the perfect solution.
Transforming New Hire Onboarding Through Strategic Welcome Kits
In another impressive case study, a heavy equipment dealership partnered with a K&B dealer to revolutionize their new hire experience. With approximately 1,000 new employees annually, the client needed a scalable, impressive welcome kit solution. The program evolved from a successful employee appreciation initiative, showcasing how strong client relationships can lead to expanded opportunities.
The welcome kit includes:
- Custom lanyard for employee identification
- Wireless charging technology
- Professional writing instruments
- Practical tools like flashlights
- Premium drinkware
The $17,000 program succeeds by combining premium branded items with efficient fulfillment services, creating a seamless experience for both the client and their new employees.
