How to Send NZ Cherries as a Corporate Gift (with Multiple Addresses)
By Carla Munn, E-Commerce Manager at Pure Otago Cherries
TL;DR (Quick Answer): Pure Otago Cherries offers a dedicated corporate gifting service, including delivery to hundreds of individual addresses from a single order. We handle everything from personalised gift cards to mixed box sizes across recipients. Minimum order is 15 boxes. Order as soon as our shop opens in October — corporate volume allocation is limited and fills quickly.
Corporate cherry gifting is one of the most memorable ways to say thank you to your team, clients, or partners. Fresh Central Otago cherries land differently to the standard chocolate-box gift — they arrive at the recipient's door, they feel genuinely thoughtful, and they hit right in the middle of the busy Christmas period. Here's exactly how our corporate gifting service works.
Do you offer corporate gifting?
Yes we do! We've built a really easy process for placing corporate orders, and it's genuinely one of the things we're proudest of. You can find full details on our Corporate Gifts page on the website. The key difference between corporate orders and regular online orders is that corporate orders go through a dedicated channel with distribution lists, invoice payment options, and personalised gift card printing built in.
What's the minimum order for a corporate gift order?
Our minimum corporate order is 15 boxes. This gives us enough volume to justify the personalised distribution service, and covers most small-to-mid team gifting needs. If you need fewer than 15 boxes, no problem — you're welcome to place the order through our regular online shop instead (and you'll also unlock the Multi-Buy Deal that way, which corporate orders don't qualify for).
Can I send corporate gifts to different addresses?
Yes — multi-address distribution is our specialty. We can send individual boxes to hundreds of separate delivery addresses from a single corporate order, whether that's:
- Your entire client list
- All your team members at their home addresses
- A mix of clients, team, and partners
You provide the addresses via our distribution list template, and we handle the rest.
How do I provide you with all the delivery details for multiple addresses?
Nice and simple — here's the process:
- Head to our Corporate Gifts page on the website
- Fill in the Order Form so we know roughly how many boxes you need, what box sizes, and when you need them delivered
- Then, we'll send you our distribution list template — a spreadsheet where you can list every individual recipient with their address and gift message
- You fill it in and send it back to us
- We'll confirm your order, invoice you, and manage delivery to every address on the list
The distribution list template is designed to make this as painless as possible, even for lists of 200+ recipients.
Can I add my company branding or personalised messages to the gift cards?
Yes — two options:
- Use our beautiful Pure Otago Direct gift cards with your personalised message printed on each one (specified per recipient in your distribution list — so each person gets their own message)
- Send us your own custom cards to include with each box. Post them to us by 30th November at the latest. Card size limit is standard A6 (anything larger won't fit in the box)
Either option gives your corporate gift a properly personal feel.
Do you offer bulk pricing on corporate orders?
We offer bulk pricing on our bulk cartons — the 12x1kg carton ($480) and 6x2kg carton ($360). These are ideal for corporate orders where all recipients are at a single address, like an office Christmas party or a workplace-wide gift drop.
For multi-address corporate orders, our standard per-box pricing applies (which already includes free overnight delivery to every NZ address).
How far in advance do I need to place a corporate order for Christmas delivery?
As soon as our shop opens in October — no exaggeration. Corporate volume allocation is limited and orders fill up fast. If you know Christmas cherries are on your gifting radar, join our Corporate Order Wait List so you don't miss the notification when orders open.
The hard deadline for pre-Christmas corporate order placement (if we haven't sold out first) is 30th November. Missing this means we can't fit your order into our production and dispatch schedule for Christmas. If you miss that deadline, you can still place an order for a January delivery date.
Can I mix box sizes within one corporate order?
Absolutely. Our distribution list template lets you choose the box size for each individual recipient. So you could send:
- Your top 10 clients a 2kg Mixed Size box ($70)
- Your 30 team members a 1kg 30mm Premium box ($49)
- A 5kg Value Pack ($150) to your office HQ for the Christmas party
All from one corporate order, one invoice, one process. Mix and match to fit your budget and the significance of each relationship.
Can I pay via invoice or bank transfer instead of credit card?
Yes — corporate orders are billed via invoice. Once we receive your completed order form and distribution list, we'll send you an invoice which you can pay via bank transfer or credit card. This makes corporate orders much easier to process through your accounts team.
Can you deliver a full carton (12x1kg or 6x2kg) to one address?
Yes — and honestly, our bulk cartons are designed for exactly this use case. If all your recipients are at one address (an office Christmas party, a team celebration, a full-day event), a bulk carton is a much better fit than 12 or 6 individual boxes. Better value per kilo, easier to manage, single delivery drop. Perfect for corporate use.
The Bottom Line
Corporate cherry gifting genuinely stands out. In a sea of gift baskets and wine bottles, a fresh box of Central Otago cherries hits differently — and the personalised gift card with your company's message makes it feel like a considered choice, not a checkbox.
The key to a smooth corporate order is timing (October opening, November 30th deadline) and having your distribution list ready to share with us as soon as your order form is submitted. Nail those two things and the whole process is genuinely painless.
