Inventory Management Solutions
Since Gifts In Kind collects donated goods at any
point of distribution, donation becomes a far more
attractive alternative to product returns. You
can eliminate reverse logistics involved in phasing
out products and actually use your charitable giving
to facilitate inventory management.
Brand Enhancement
Gifts In Kind carefully monitors and reports on
who benefits from your contributions and how
all your contributions are used. We ensure that
your corporate contribution does the most possible
to enhance your brand to your customers and peers,
including assistance on your public image campaigns.
Maximum Financial Benefit
Many companies discard products rather than bear
the cost and trouble of donating them. Gifts In Kind
offers a viable solution to reduce inventory disposition
costs, while providing an environmentally conscientious
manner of handling excess inventory. Gifts In Kind
has the size and reach to eliminate these barriers
to good corporate citizenship. We can pick up products
at any point of distribution, collecting pallet to
truckloads at your distribution facilities or boxes
from retail outlets.

Expanding Market Awareness
Some large firms donate tactically for long-term
corporate growth placing products in emerging markets,
such as South Asia and the Far East. Others lay the
foundation for future market development by giving
advanced products to schools in Canada and abroad.
Some technology companies even manufacture solely
for donation to meet these goals.
