“2020 was a year like no other, so we wanted to provide each of our team members with a specially curated Minnesota-themed box to thank them for all of their hard work. Our staff was absolutely amazed by their branded MerchBoxes… it will be hard to top these next year! We were proud to partner with Merchology on this project!”
– Tyler Wenkus, COO and Owner, Gonyea Companies
Case Study: Gonyea
When Gonyea Companies came to Merchology looking for the ultimate employee holiday gift, they had a clear vision of their dream custom merch. Gonyea Companies wanted to send a message of both appreciation and celebration of their team's hard work in 2020.
Amazing products weren't the only requirements for this project. Gonyea needed gifts that could be professionally assembled, beautifully presented, and delivered to recipients' homes.
That's where MerchBoxes came in! With a mix of custom electronics, housewares, apparel, and edible treats, their customized holiday MerchBox came to life. Combining products offered on the Merchology website with products that were sourced by their dedicated Account Executive, Gonyea was able to achieve another goal of theirs, which was to support fellow Minnesota businesses.
The Purpose
With a perfect blend of multiple merch categories, this MerchBox helped the recipients create a warm atmosphere inside each of their homes. With a message of "From Our Homes to Yours" printed on their custom boxes, the meaning behind the product selection was portrayed.
This gift ultimately created an experience for each employee, which included cozying up with their new blanket, enjoying their coffee in their new Ember mug, and enjoying the fresh air (even in the Minnesota winters) in their insulated jacket. The Gonyea brand was brought inside their homes tastefully and effortlessly.
