Omaha Steaks Boosts Business Gifting Program
If you've been around as long as I have, you know a good steak is worth its weight in gold, especially if it's Omaha Steaks we're talking about. Now, they're pushing the borders of their business gifting program to a whole new level, and it's pretty intriguing, if you ask me. Aiming to surpass the 5 million mark in corporate gifts, they're shaking things up with user-friendly gift certificate options and streamlined online resources.
Gift-Gifting Made Simple
Here's the scoop: companies of every size can now conveniently send Omaha Steaks holiday gifts without any minimum order. That's right—no minimum order barrier. These gift certificates are revamped for ease, so recipients have their pick of premium steaks, seafood, family meals, and more from what Omaha boasts as their curated collections. The days of cumbersome logistics are gone; recipients just hop online, redeem their certificate, and voila—their perfectly chosen meal is on its way.
But here's the kicker—Omaha Steaks ain't leaving businesses to fend for themselves. Instead, they provide what's called a Business Gift Expert, essentially a guide through the gifting maze, managing everything from personalization to delivery. It's a smooth operation, whether you're sending a singular thank you or gearing up for a companywide present program.
Beyond Just a Steak
Omaha Steaks is no slouch when it comes to strategic growth. Since 2020, they've handed out over 1.1 million corporate gifts, with nearly half accounting from their newly optimized gift certificates. More than 5,000 businesses have stepped up to Omaha's plate, leveraging these certificates to say "thanks" to employees and customers. In a world where appreciation gets a lot more traction than mere words, a steak dinner sent to the employee's doorstep doesn't sound half bad.
"A holiday gift is a chance to thank an employee for their hard work or show a client how much you value their business," says Matt Burdette, director of sales ops at Omaha Steaks.
What Makes It Tick?
No one wants to chase someone down for their home address just for a holiday gift. Omaha Steaks have made it practically foolproof to distribute these certificates. Whether a business chooses to email them or physically hand them out, the recipient takes care of typing in their delivery details online when they redeem.
- Browsing Made Easy: A modernized, intuitive interface greets the recipient, making the selection process straightforward and delightfully simple.
- Sleek and Consistent Design: Every printed or E-certificate, along with the online redemption site, shares an updated, cohesive look.
- Diverse Gift Options: From tender filets to gourmet vegetarian delights, the selections are robust enough to satisfy all palates.
It's not just about the meal itself; it's the breadth of selection—the ability to cater to personal tastes—that gives these gifts an edge. Even for the most discerning eaters, there's something in these collections.
Planning for the Holidays
As the holiday season ramps up, Omaha Steaks is on top of its game, offering guidance on timed orders. Businesses aiming for Christmas deliveries should place their orders by December 11 for mailed certificates. E-certificates give a bit more breathing room, with orders accepted up till December 23. The expanded online resource hub is a boon, the capacious brainchild of Lucy Lantis, which dives deep into the essence of recognition through gifts.
For those old enough to recall a time when recognition was only handshakes and nods, modern gifting shows how much the corporate world has evolved.
The Omaha Steaks Legacy
Since its birth in 1917, Omaha Steaks stands as America's Original Butcher, revering its roots while embracing the future. With a fifth-generation legacy behind it, the name Omaha Steaks resonates with quality and precision, whether in retail, online, or direct calls. It's giants like these that see steady growth, not just in meats but in market reach, one gift certificate at a time.
