Gift Boxes > Gift Cards We said what we said! (And we'd say it again.) If you're staring at a to-do list that has "buy holiday gifts for the whole company" on it, gift boxes are rock-solid go-tos.

Catch the grandest goodies in boxes and baskets from: Teak & Twine Minny & Paul Giften Market ETHIK Unboxme *PRO TIP* When you send a gift through a Zest partner, the whole purchase for one or hundreds of people takes just a few minutes, not weeks or months of back-and-forth emails.

We're inching (or sprinting?) toward the holidays. Which means you're about to see wall-to-wall posts all about "Winning the Holidays," "27 Holiday Hacks for Your Store," and "THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLACK FRIDAY / CYBER MONDAY." If you're living in the ecommerce ecosystem, you don't have time to scroll through yet another "Ultimate Guide." But *maybe* you have time to today, just another Wednesday in August, to read about our top three 3️⃣ recommendations to make your bottom line sing this season 👇 1. Talk ASAP and talk often about your holiday offers to really ingrain your brand in the minds of shoppers. (Seriously, if you want to dig into their subconscious, start gabbin' pronto.) 2. Promos are a tried-and-true tactic in ecommerce. Offer some discounts, but make 'em actually worthwhile. 3. If you want people to buy more gifts from your store, make it easier to buy more gifts. See how we landed on these three must-dos in the bloggy below (and then reach out to us for #3). #ecommercestrategy #bfcm #onlinegifting 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 https://lnkd.in/gzmWFQ7D

We spy 🕵♂️ With our zesty eye 👁 US! 💅 Our new best friend Tom gave an awesome shout-out to our pals at Milk Bar for crushing the online gifting game all while dropping some Zest truth bombs along the way (do people still say that?) 👇 💣 Zest powers Milk Bar's corporate and consumer gifting storefronts (and we couldn't be more stoked about it!) 💣 Zest indeed makes it "light work for users to send gifts." 💣 E-gifting? Yep. Shipping directly to someone? Yep yep. Send now or later? Yep yep yep! Flexibility is the name of the game when meeting your customers' needs. 💣 Zest makes shipping gifts to multiple people "simple and quick." 💣 BONUS TRUTH: Some of the Zest squad got to meet Christina Tosi IRL this year and it was amazing.

Are you part of The Tortured Corporate Gift Department™ at your company? Are you deeply familiar with how long it can take to close a B2B gift sale?
