A deal toy order may contain dozens or hundreds of individual pieces going to recipients across the country or around the world. One delivery option is to ship every piece to one office, unpack and inspect everything, repack it, organize addresses, create labels, and ship the entire order again. The second option is to have Society Awards Finance Group deliver each finished piece directly to its recipient with our drop shipping capabilities. For most projects, dropping is the better way to deliver their deal toys.
A client may ask for an entire order to be sent to their office so someone on their team can inspect every piece before distribution. This instinct is created when quality is inconsistent; personalization errors occur, packaging is unreliable, or pieces vary noticeably from one unit to another. Trust in the supplier’s quality control deteriorates with each issue and creates larger problems for the client-supplier relationship.
At Society Awards Finance Group, inspection is a part of the production process. Our deal toys move through strict quality control before they leave our facility. That review includes the piece itself, its decoration, and personalization, assembly, presentation, and packaging. We believe that the client should not have to become our final quality control department.
Additionally, this scenario creates another opportunity for a box to be damaged, a unit to be paired with the wrong label, a protective insert to be replaced incorrectly, or a fragile object to be mishandled.
Awards and deal toys are presentation objects. Crystal, natural stone, metal assemblies, and dimensional pieces need to be packed correctly. The safest shipment is often the one with the fewest unnecessary handoffs.
When Society Awards Finance Group handles the shipment, we remain in control of the process for longer. We know the object, the packaging, the project and the recipient information. If a carrier exception occurs, our team is dealing with a shipment we created rather than trying to reconstruct what happened after someone else repacked it.
Our parent brand, Society Awards, is entrusted with delivering some of the most famous awards in the world to the people receiving them, without asking the client to inspect each finished award first. Society Awards Finance Group was created specifically to bring the standards of Society Awards into financial services. If we can be trusted to safely get an award for brands like YouTube, MTV, and the CLIO Awards, to the correct location with no errors or imperfections, we can be trusted to deliver your deal gifts.
This distinction gets to the heart of the difference, as we operate in environments where the recipient, the timing, and the object all matter enormously. There is no acceptable version of “almost right.” Society Awards Finance Group brings that same standard to deal toys.
Drop shipping is not an occasional accommodation that we add at the end of a deal toy project. In fact, Society Awards makes well over 100,000 individual drop shipments annually. Fulfillment is one of our core competencies.
Our purpose-built United States production facility supports personalization, quality control, inventory management, packaging and direct fulfillment. Our team ships thousands of packages each week and manages tracking and shipping exceptions as part of the process.
That infrastructure was developed for programs where accuracy matters. For a financial institution, this means an analyst or associate does not need to turn a conference room into a temporary shipping department. You provide the approved recipient information, and we take care of the rest.
Working with Finance Group for your shipping has an economic advantage as well. Shipping an order to your office and then shipping every piece again means paying for two transportation cycles rather than one. It also consumes additional packaging, administrative time, and staff attention while adding no value to the finished deal toy. For a large recipient list, the savings in time alone can be substantial.
Direct fulfillment eliminates financial waste and productivity loss by handling these processes for the client. Your team should be focused on the transaction and the client relationship, not printing labels and managing cartons.
The recipient sees a beautiful deal toy arrive in presentation packaging. What they do not see is the system built upon the luxury experience behind it. Luxury in a business service is not simply an expensive material or an impressive object, but the absence of friction. A luxury experience is accuracy, judgement, and knowing that someone else has already thought through the details that could become your problem.
Society Awards Finance Group brings that discipline to the entire process, including the part after manufacturing is finished. We design the piece and inspect it. We package it correctly, ship it, and manage the delivery. When direct drop shipping is appropriate, we recommend letting us do exactly that, as your team has more important work to do. While you make the deals, we’ll handle the boxes.
