Personalized Employee Gifts No Minimum Order
Updated: Jan 26, 2022

What is a Minimum?
One of the most frequent promotional product inquiries are for no or low minimum products. "Minimums" refer to the minimum quantity of custom merchandise that must be purchased at a time. For example, custom printed lanyards may have a 150 minimum. At a large conference with 1,000's of attendees, this minimum would be no problem.
However, there are a variety of situations in which the production minimums will not work for the customer. Below are a series of scenarios in which the buyer needs low or no minimum products.
A small business owner wants to buy company branded employee appreciation gifts for a team of less than 10
A salesperson wants to connect with a potential lead by giving a gift customized to the individual or company
A freelancer wants to give credibility to their business with branded gear for just them
If you are looking for no minimum promo products, you are in luck! We have assembled some of the best no minimum employee appreciation gifts of 2021. This means every gift can be customized to the individual and teams of every size can be outfitted with branded gear.

If you think promotional products are just cheap junk with a logo on it, think again. Now is the time to introduce you to a greater variety of high quality branded products that can still fit your budget. The following products combine function and style to enhance the recipient's daily life.
Employee appreciation gifts are broken down into popular categories: Drinkware & Accessories, Home Office, Gift Sets, and Apparel. With employee retention currently a major concern for many employers, show your team how much they mean with high quality custom gifts.
