Q4 events: how to get the most out of your merchandising in the last quarter

For many companies, the last quarter of the year is the busiest for corporate events, deal closings and loyalty actions. Annual meetings, next-year kick-offs, company dinners, investor presentations and networking events all fall within a few weeks.

Each of these moments is a chance for your brand to leave a mark. And eco merchandising is the tool that turns that chance into something tangible.

Merchandising strategy by type of event

Networking events and presentations

The aim is to be remembered and make follow-up easy. Recommended products:

• Cork card holders with your card inside: the gift is both the container and the content.
• Compact recycled paper notebooks with a QR code to your website on the back cover.
• Bamboo pens in an individual case.

Meetings with VIP clients

Here the gift should be memorable and reflect the value of the relationship:

• A gift set with an engraved flask and a notebook in a presentation box. See gift sets and the Premium line.
• A 2027 diary with the logo on the cover. See 2027 diaries and calendars.

Team events and company dinners

Products that create a sense of belonging:

• Organic cotton hoodies with a design made for the event.
• Commemorative mugs for the end of the year.
• A hat and scarf in the corporate colours. Ideas in winter merchandising.

Smart Q4 budgeting

Q4 concentrates a lot of spending. To make the most of it:

1. Combine orders: group the October to December events into a single order to get better volume prices. On our website, orders from 1,000 euros (excl. VAT) already get 7% off.
2. Versatile products: a steel bottle engraved with your logo, with no reference to a specific event, works for trade fairs, client meetings and Christmas gifts.
3. Tiered budget: for example, 40% for Christmas gifts, 35% for trade fairs and events and 25% for the internal team.
4. Order with margin: production takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on the method. To receive before 18 December, the order must be placed by 13 November for embroidery, by the 20th for screen printing and by the 25th for laser engraving, pad printing or digital printing.
