There are three key moments: onboarding, milestones (anniversaries, goals, internal events) and the year-end gift. If you already have a quote for any of them, Promopack beats it by at least 10% with the same items.<\/p>\n<h2>Which employee merchandise should go in the onboarding kit?<\/h2>\n<p>The welcome kit is the first physical contact with the brand.
