Alumni and farewell kit — after the last day
Contents, price and lead times when the choice is driven by the good memory: first impression balanced against budget.
What the Alumni and farewell kit is
The alumni and farewell kit marks the end of a long cooperation: notebook, pen, mug and tote, with gratitude. The kit is handed over together with the HR team and follows one rule: on the new person’s first day the brand must be felt physically.
The Alumni and farewell kit plays a double role: practical, so the person is equipped on day one, and cultural, so the team and its values arrive without slogans. The driver is the good memory.
Contents and decoration
The core of the set: branded notebooks, pens, ceramic mugs and canvas totes. Decoration follows the item: print or embroidery for tees and hoodies, engraving or pad printing for deskware.
For the Alumni and farewell kit, the planning cost per employee is 3000–12000 AMD (excluding 20% VAT), with an annual volume of 50–300 pcs. For senior tiers we propose premium items; for large volumes, a stored buffer for the next intake wave.
When it is handed over
When someone leaves a company on good terms, the last-day gift shapes what they will say about it in the years after. The kit is handed over in person with a thank-you note, and chosen to stay useful at the new workplace.
The risk we watch for: The risk is perception: a too-cheap farewell erases years of good impression. That is why the Alumni and farewell kit is kept packed in stock, and the size matrix is refreshed after every intake wave.
