How we work together
A clear path from brief to delivery

Agree the recipients, relationship, message, quantity, locations, timing and working budget.
Develop the direction
Present suitable product, packaging and message ideas with practical tradeoffs.
Approve the details
Confirm specifications, artwork, samples where available, quantities, costs and schedule.
Produce and prepare
Coordinate suppliers, production, quality checks, inventory, packing and recipient data.
Deliver and close
Manage dispatch, available tracking, exceptions and the agreed handling of remaining stock.
Plan seasonal programs early
More time creates better choices and fewer compromises
Chinese New Year and Mid Autumn Festival create concentrated demand for products, customization, packaging and delivery. Earlier planning gives your team more useful options and more time for samples, approvals and corrections.
The product, quantity, customization, approval process and recipient locations all affect the schedule. Lotus confirms the real working plan after the brief is clear.
What shapes the schedule
- Product availability
Stock, supplier capacity and replacement options. - Customization
Artwork, printing, packaging and production methods. - Sampling and approval
Physical samples, revisions and stakeholder review time. - Recipient locations
Address quality, coverage, remote areas and delivery windows. - Seasonal demand
Factory closures, courier capacity and public holidays.
On the ground in China

Common questions
What brands usually ask before planning a program
The most useful answer depends on the occasion, quantity, customization, locations and time available.
Can Lotus manage Chinese New Year or Mid Autumn Festival gifts?
Yes. We can coordinate the program from brief and concept through sourcing, Chinese message adaptation, production, packing and delivery. The final scope reflects the occasion, recipient group, quantity, locations, timing and budget.
Can you create the gift concept as well as source it?
Yes. We can develop a direction from the relationship, occasion and brand, or adapt an existing idea. The options still need to be checked against availability, customization, production time and fulfillment.
Can Lotus use our global brand assets?
Yes, where they suit the product and format. We can adapt approved logos, colours, messages and design files. If a global concept does not fit the local occasion or production method, we will explain what should change.
Can you ship gifts to recipients across China?
We can coordinate domestic fulfillment through an agreed logistics route. Coverage, address requirements, remote area access, delivery timing and tracking are confirmed against the actual recipient list and schedule.
How does Lotus handle recipient information?
We agree a controlled method for receiving only the information needed for the approved deliveries. Access, permitted use, retention and deletion should be defined before recipient details are transferred.
How far in advance should we begin?
It depends on the product, quantity, customization, samples, approvals, packaging and delivery locations. Seasonal programs should begin earlier because supplier and logistics capacity becomes more limited.
Are minimum quantities required?
They vary by product, supplier and customization method. Once we know the brief, Lotus can identify commercially practical options and explain where quantity affects price or production.
How is a China gifting program priced?
The fee reflects the concept, sourcing, supplier management, design, sampling, production coordination, quality checks, packing, recipient administration, fulfillment and reporting required. Product and external supplier costs are shown separately.
Can Lotus store and manage remaining merchandise?
It may be possible within an agreed scope. Storage period, inventory records, future dispatch, cost and the final handling of remaining items must be agreed before production.
Can Lotus guarantee every delivery date?
We can plan the production and dispatch carefully and track the information available. We cannot guarantee every individual delivery when address accuracy, recipient availability, weather and peak season logistics remain outside our control.
Can you support event kits and branded materials?
Yes. We can coordinate selected attendee packs, speaker gifts, VIP items and branded materials, including local sourcing, production, packing and delivery to the agreed location.
Can gifting become part of an ongoing relationship program?
Yes. We can plan a regular calendar around Chinese festivals, customer and partner appreciation, team moments and important business milestones, supported by consistent brand and recipient standards.
