Understand Your Customer Segments

According to McKinsey, companies that personalize their approach see up to 40% more revenue from those activities.
Identify Merchandise That Resonates
Not all merchandise works for every audience. Analyze which products—like eco-friendly tote bags, branded apparel, or tech accessories—align with your customers’ values and daily needs. For example, event managers may prefer practical giveaways, while HR teams might value employee recognition gifts.
