Chipotle Customer Experience Swag
As if we couldn’t love Chipotle enough, we love them even more after seeing this surprise and delight swag that they sent a loyal customer. A customer of theirs posted tagging Chipotle praising a staff member for being proud of their steak and providing him a sample. Not long after Chipotle sent friendship bracelets for him to share the experience with the staff member! This is an entirely new level of customer loyalty and engagement! Bravo Chipotle for setting the bar!

LinkedIn New Hew Swag
We love new hire swag; especially when we see family members enjoy it just as much as the person receiving it. Our rule of thumb is if the swag isn’t getting snagged, you didn’t do it right. We love this new hire swag from LinkedIn and the joy it brings to families. This is what makes giving employees swag so great.

Notion Community Meet-Up Swag
One can really admire how Notion has used community to build their business. Part of building that community was using swag to create brand awareness and loyalty. We love this Donuts + Swag cart that Notion offered at an event they did in New York City. The lines for this were wrapped around the block! Aside from all the posts they received on social media, Notion really did this right in terms of bringing on brand and providing members with some really nice swag!

When clients ask us why it’s important to use swag for new hires, we always show them posts like these. You can’t create experiences like this without swag. Sending swag for new hires really shows them you care and welcomes them to being part of the team. This is especially true for workforces that are fully remote. Swag is a tool to help build connections and humanize the remote onboarding experience. We love the Drata swag and the excitement it’s bringing their employees!
