Benchmarks by occasion

These are planning ranges, not rules. Pick the gift that fits the relationship, then budget for branding and delivery.

What changes the unit price

  • Quantity. Bulk discounts apply per product: 5% off at 100 pieces, 8% at 250, 12% at 500 and 15% at 1,000. Combining orders into fewer, larger ones is the easiest saving.
  • Branding. Logo application on zyftt.com is ₹50 per piece. Food items cannot be branded at checkout.
  • Packaging. A gift box costs more than a polybag; ask for packaging in a bulk quote.
  • Delivery. Standard delivery to one address is free and express is ₹500. Delivery to many addresses is quoted; Gift Links charges ₹149 per home delivery.
  • Customisation. Custom colours or fully custom hampers take longer and are quoted separately.

A worked example: 300 employees at ₹800

The example uses a product whose price includes GST. If the product page says "+ 18% GST", add it to the gift line. If the total is too high, cut delivery first: delivery to one office is free.

Where to save, and where not to

  • Consolidate: one order for the quarter costs less than three monthly orders.
  • Drop the fifth item in a hamper.
  • Skip gift boxes for gifts handed over in person.
  • Do not cut the item people keep: the bottle, the bag, the pen.
  • Do not skip the card. It costs least and people remember it.

GST and invoicing

Most prices on zyftt.com include GST; each product page shows "GST included" or "+ 18% GST". Prices in the Diwali collection are before GST. Every order gets a GST invoice with your company's GSTIN. Input tax credit on gifts is usually blocked; the GST guide explains the rules.
