(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nA Packed with Purpose/Harris Poll study found that 59% of corporate gift recipients would rather receive nothing than a generic or impersonal gift, despite U.S. companies spending over $300 billion annually on corporate gifts.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): corporate gifting is broken not because of product quality—it's broken because of scale and laziness. A brand that offers semi-personalization (name, department, custom bundle tier) without requiring bespoke manufacturing can capture this spend from generic vendors. The play: build a corporate gifting program with 3–5 signature bundles, add a personalization layer (engraving, custom box note, branded packaging option), and route it through a dedicated account manager. Charge a premium for the curation; the recipient perceives premium because the effort is visible. Cost to execute: slight, but perceived as high.\nWhat that means for you: corporate gifting is broken not because of product quality—it's broken because of scale and laziness.
