  • Team: HR


The most important Cadeo-features utilised:

  • Employee gifting
  • Option to swap your gift
  • No address needed

The challenge.

Oaklins, one of the world's largest M&A advisory firms, wanted to thank their employees at the Dutch office for their dedication and hard work over the past quarter. They took this opportunity to express their appreciation and wish them a Happy Easter. 

The solution.

A personal approach is important for Cadeo. Valeria Kroone (Director of Operations) didn't want to send a "one-size-fits-all" gift. Luckily, at Cadeo, we also don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. With the unique exchange option, the 52 'Oakies' had the opportunity to either accept the initial gift (a sustainable chocolate Easter egg from Mellow) or exchange it for another gift in a similar price range. Guaranteed happy recipients! 

“The process went exceptionally smoothly; I only had to fill in a few details and the rest was handled by Cadeo. The employees' reactions to the gift were very positive. All colleagues were happy with their gifts, and we were pleased with the efficient process. Communication with Cadeo was also excellent. I would recommend it for both corporate and personal gifts.”

- Valeria Kroone (Director of Operations)

The result.

  • Reach: 100% of the Cadeos were redeemed, and 52 gifts were sent. 
  • Flexibility: 58% of the recipients exchanged their Cadeo for something else. For example, a new father chose a Naïf baby care package instead of the Easter egg.
  • Direct feedback:   90% left a message to thank Oaklins for the gift.
  • less waste: Recipients had the option to convert their Cadeo into planting trees.
