Gift-with-purchase and kitting programs drive beauty revenue, but only when they run exactly as planned. We treat every mini, insert and set component as tracked inventory with its own lot record.
Rule-based gift-with-purchase
Gift-with-purchase works best when it is automatic. We configure GWP rules that trigger on order value thresholds, specific SKUs or collections, promo codes, customer tags or date windows, and can tier gifts so higher spend earns a better reward.
Each gift is a tracked SKU with available quantity, lot and expiry. Before a promotion starts, we confirm stock against your forecast. During the promotion, low-stock alerts warn your team in time to extend, swap or end the offer cleanly, instead of customers discovering that the promised gift is missing.
When the promotion ends at the scheduled time, insertion stops with it. Reports show how many gifts shipped, to which orders and from which lots, which helps marketing measure results and helps quality trace any sample-size issue.
Holiday sets and value kits
Holiday sets, regimen bundles and value kits are some of the most complex work in beauty fulfillment. We assemble them as work orders with documented bills of materials, photo-based pack instructions and quality checks before sealing.
Kits can be built ahead into finished-goods inventory for retail or high-volume DTC, or assembled on demand when demand is less predictable. Pre-built sets are a common requirement for retail, where a set ships as a single unit with its own UPC.
Lot traceability is preserved inside kits. We record the lot of each component used in each build, so if a component is later affected by a recall, you can identify every finished kit that contains it. That is a detail many kitting operations lose, and one that matters under modern cosmetics rules.
Advent calendars and launch boxes
Advent calendars and limited launch boxes combine many small components, fragile inserts and tight deadlines. We plan these projects with you weeks ahead: component receipt schedules, assembly capacity, packaging tests and ship dates for both DTC and retail.
Components are received and inspected by lot before assembly begins, so a missing or damaged component is found early rather than on the build line. Assembly follows a documented sequence with checks at defined points, and finished units are counted and staged by channel.
For launches, we can hold assembled inventory until a release time and then release orders in a controlled wave, keeping early-access customers, waitlists and general release orders separate when needed.
PR, influencer and seeding kits
PR and influencer seeding kits are small in volume but high in visibility. A creator opening a box on camera is your brand's first impression for their audience, so every kit is packed to a presentation standard with photos taken before sealing.
We can import recipient lists, apply personalized cards or notes, and ship each kit with tracking reported back to your PR team. Contents can vary by recipient tier, with different kits for top-tier creators, editors and broader seeding lists.
Seeding inventory is drawn from the same tracked stock as everything else, with lot records kept. If a product in a PR kit needs follow-up, you know which recipients received which batch.
PR kits can also be staged ahead of an embargo date and released together, so editors and creators receive product at the same time and launch coverage lands in a coordinated window.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make sure GWP items do not run out mid-promotion?
Gifts are tracked as inventory with stock confirmed before launch and low-stock alerts during the promotion, so your team can extend, swap or end the offer before customers are affected.
Do you keep lot traceability for components in kits?
Yes. We record the lot of each component used in each kit build, so finished sets containing an affected component can be identified.
Can you assemble retail-ready holiday sets?
Yes. We build sets to your bill of materials and retailer packaging requirements, with their own UPCs, as finished inventory for retail or DTC.
Can you ship influencer kits with personalized notes?
Yes. We import recipient lists, add personalized notes, photograph kits before sealing and report tracking to your PR team.
