When Gonyea Companies came to Merchology looking to create 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; what a custom MerchBox does best!
Amazing products weren't the only requirements for this project. Gonyea needed a company that could swiftly deliver each gift directly to the recipient's home, professional assembly and beautiful overall presentation. Gonyea Companies wanted high-end, unique custom merch that would wow their recipients. 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 allowed the recipients to feel the holiday spirit and create a warm atmosphere inside each of their homes. With a message of "From Our Homes to Yours" displayed on the top of 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 outdoors (even in the Minnesota winters) in their insulated jacket. The Gonyea brand was brought inside their homes tastefully and effortlessly. The holidays are a busy time where we often forget take a few moments for ourselves, and Gonyea's MerchBox brought a bit of self-care right to the recipient's doorsteps.

The Outcome
This MerchBox was a project that was built from scratch by both Gonyea's representative and Merchology's services. As detail oriented as this project was, the outcome was spectacular, and was a true reflection of Gonyea's appreciation for their team members, and Merchology's appreciation for unmatched custom gifts.
“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!”
