Holiday gifting is one of the most powerful ways distributors can deepen client relationships, boost revenue, and finish the year strong. But the traditional model, bulk orders, complex logistics, and one-size-fits-all gifts, doesn’t cut it anymore.

That’s why Holiday Shops have become the smarter, modern way to deliver branded gifting. With on-demand production, built-in personalization, and streamlined logistics, you can transform the gifting season from stressful to strategic. And with MOQ1’s in-platform marketing tools, it’s easier than ever to pitch, sell, and manage shops for your clients.

Lead With Client Benefits

Clients care about outcomes: less stress, more impact. Position Holiday Shops as:

  • Personalized: Each recipient chooses their own size, color, or product
  • Sustainable: No wasted bulk orders or closets full of unwanted swag
  • Effortless: Products ship directly to recipients, no storage needed

Tip: Use MOQ1’s marketing templates to show clients exactly how a branded shop looks. A polished presentation makes the benefits click instantly.

Sell the Experience, Not Just the Product

Today’s buyers want experiences. Holiday Shops let your clients look professional and thoughtful while giving their teams or customers real choice. Highlight:

  • Branded holiday refreshes with seasonal designs
  • Employee gift shops where codes can be redeemed for equal-value items
  • Curated bundles for a polished, gift-box feel

Use Data and Marketing Tools to Win

Don’t just launch shops, promote them. MOQ1’s platform includes:

  • Automated marketing emails to help clients promote their shop to employees or customers
  • Reporting dashboards that show orders, redemptions, and revenue in real time
  • Easy design upload tools so seasonal graphics can be swapped in seconds

Tip: Share live reporting with your clients. When they see participation rates climb, they’ll instantly recognize the value.

Extend the Season With “The 13th Month”

Most distributors stop selling in November. With MOQ1’s 1–2 day turnaround, you can extend sales into December and capture late orders other suppliers can’t fulfill. Frame this as your secret advantage for clients who think they’ve missed their chance.


Holiday gifting doesn’t have to be a headache. By leaning on Holiday Shops and MOQ1’s built-in marketing tools, you can deliver personalization, sustainability, and simplicity, all while creating new revenue streams for yourself.
