How to Choose a Corporate Gift Supplier in Singapore

The right corporate gift supplier in Singapore is the one that can tell you, in writing and before you pay, its minimum order, its lead time and the price at your quantity. Everything else follows from those three answers. Here are seven questions to ask, what a good answer sounds like, and how Anri Gifts answers each one.

‍

What should you ask a corporate gift supplier before ordering?

Ask about minimum order, lead time, mockups, price at your quantity, delivery record, past work and who your contact is. A supplier who answers all seven clearly before taking payment is one you can plan around.

‍

1. What is the minimum order quantity, per item?

The minimum order should be stated per item, not as one number for the whole catalogue. At Anri, almost everything starts at 50 pieces; a small number of items, some pens and the USB neck fan, start at 100 to 200.

‍

2. How long from design sign-off to delivery?

Ask when the clock starts. A lead time counted from payment can hide a slow approval stage; one counted from design sign-off tells you exactly when to approve. Anri works to 3 to 6 weeks from design sign-off, longer for runs of 1,000 or more or for the year-end and Chinese New Year rush.

‍

3. Will you see a mockup before production, and how fast?

Always see a mockup of your logo on the actual product before anything is made. Anri sends one within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your artwork.

‍

4. What will your quantity actually cost per piece?

Ask for the price at your quantity, not just the headline from price. Anri lists from prices so you can compare quickly:

• Eco Friendly Kraft Paper Ballpoint Pen, from $0.50 per piece.
• Canvas Tote Bag, from $2.70 per piece, pictured at the top of this page.
• Metal Touch Leather Business Card Holder, from $3.30 per piece.
• Notebook, Pen & Insulated Tumbler Gift Box, from $21.00 per set.

Each price here is a from price per piece, which is what the item costs at higher volumes. Smaller runs sit above it, and the exact figure depends on the item, the branding and the quantity, so each product page carries its current tier pricing.

‍

5. What is their on-time delivery record?

A corporate gift that arrives after the event has no value, so ask for the supplier's on-time record and how they handle a delay. Anri's record is 0% late deliveries.

‍

6. Have they done work like yours?

Ask to see past projects for organisations similar to yours. Anri's past work includes projects for the ASEAN Law Association, BitGo and Genisys Office System, and teams at Hilton and NUS have trusted Anri with their gifting.

‍

7. Who is your point of contact?

One named person who owns your order from quote to delivery saves more time than any feature on a price list. At Anri, a customer success rep guides every order, usually over WhatsApp.

‍

What are the red flags when choosing a corporate gift supplier?

• No minimum order stated per item, or a minimum that changes after you send artwork.
• A lead time with no starting point, or one counted from payment.
• No mockup before production.
• A from price with no quote at your actual quantity.
• No examples of past work for organisations like yours.
