A collection presenting practical B2B merch applications: welcome-pack (new hire), conference giveaways, trade show booth merch, VIP gifts, year-end client gifts, event giveaways. Each use case has a specific solution.
Armenia and EAEU context
B2B merch use cases in Armenia account for 20% VAT, EAEU customs rules, local event timing, and Armenian corporate culture. Welcome-packs are often given at New Year and birthdays; conference gifts at DigiTec, ArmHiTec, and Beauty Armenia Expo.
Armenian corporate culture values personal touch, quality packaging, and customised gifts. Welcome-packs often include individual name labels; VIP gifts get premium packaging. Year-end client gifts are usually sent in December and need careful timing management.
