I've been feeling a little boxed in at work lately. I can't exactly pinpoint why. It's just a feeling I'm getting.
Welcome to holiday season in the world of marketing. A gift will be placed in each of these 2,250 boxes and delivered to our customers. I enjoyed the creative process of selecting the gift and watching it come together. Last week, I was interviewed by Inc.com about our gift. The story features companies who are giving out unique holiday gifts this season to employees and customers. I think I sounded like a goob during the interview, but it was rewarding and felt like the months of hard work had payed off.
There have been endless address lists to mull over, and this week, we've had a team of people assembling these boxes. Next week, we'll have to fill them with tissue, the gift, a sticker on top, tape and label the boxes and mail them out.
I realize there are fulfillment houses to do these sort of projects, but I like to be thrifty with the company's money. In previous years, our company would charter a plane and spend a week hand delivering gifts to customers across the country. When I think of that distribution process, I realize I probably could have used a fulfillment house.
These pictures are slightly blurred. After all that folding, I think I had the shakes.
When I leave the office today, I will definitely have something to be thankful for: I will never, ever have to fold 2,250 boxes again!
I'm just getting caught up after not having the internet ... for a week!... these past few posts made me laugh. Hope you are recovering nicely from the box folding. =) Happy Thanksgiving!
