Marketing....... (VENT)

Fucking Marketing orders holiday gifts for us to give to our customers. Usually it's a Bluetooth speaker or some sort of travel mug, standard stuff. This year they ordered a million stainless steel coasters w our company logo to give out.


Asked marketing WTF were they thinking. Did they send out a pole? Or did they just get suckered by some bullshit custom ink place.


What do you give to your customers for the holidays??

Might as well sharpen the edges and send ninja stars, I would DEFINETELY call a company that gave me ninja stars.

That's what i've instructed my team to do, not send shit.ย  My plan is to railroad marketing w senior leadership drops by and and asks why the fuck we have 5 boxes of metal bullshit in our storage closet.

Does each customer get one coaster?

Actually, that doesn't sound awesome, but not horrible.ย  We do have some decent swag at our company, but I believe we went with corporate gifts this year.

Apparently we're old school so we send the holiday gift basket. I'm assuming there's some booze in there...

We have a third party service we sling gifts through, so we send gifts through that and the prospect can either accept, exchange or donate the gift. Usually I send a Yeti or Lulu gift card
