Rewards infrastructure for AfricaChristmas Gifts for Small Businesses: No Minimum Order Required
Why small teams often overpay or under-deliver on gifting, and what a properly priced small-order catalogue looks like.
Abby Sotomiwa

A lot of corporate gifting suppliers quietly assume a minimum order that only makes sense for a large company, which leaves a small team of five or fifteen people with the same generic options as everyone else, priced for a volume they'll never hit.
No minimum, real branding
See the small business gifting guide for Kenya, but the core point holds anywhere: teams of five get the same catalogue and the same branding quality as teams of five hundred, just at a smaller order size.
Why small teams often over- or under-spend
Without a genuine small-order option, small companies either pay a premium to hit someone else's minimum, or drop to something genuinely cheap that reads as an afterthought. Neither is necessary once the catalogue is priced per unit rather than per volume tier.
A founder or single team lead can run this directly
There's no dedicated procurement function needed — a founder or the one person handling HR can place and manage the order themselves, same as a much larger team's dedicated department would.
