On-site VIP Sunglass Gifting Built for Tech Companies

Your team ships product all year. When it's time to celebrate — SKOs, President's Club, client milestones — give them a gift that matches the caliber of what they've built. Designer sunglasses they'll actually wear, branded for your company.

Premium sunglass gifting activation at a technology company sales kickoff event with designer frames on display

How It Works

From initial briefing to on-site setup or direct-to-door delivery, the entire process is designed for the way tech companies operate — fast, precise, and scalable.

Brief Us Like a Product Spec

Share your event details — venue, headcount, audience profile, brand guidelines, and budget range. We'll come back with a tailored recommendation within 48 hours: frame selection, display format, packaging options, and a detailed scope of work.

We Build and Ship

Our team curates the frame collection, produces custom-branded packaging — cases, microfiber cloths, box sleeves, insert cards — and coordinates all logistics. For on-site activations, we arrive day-of with a self-contained setup. Zero lift from your team.

Your People Get the Best Gift of the Event

At on-site activations, attendees browse the collection, get fitted by a specialist, and walk away with designer sunglasses in branded packaging. For VIP gift boxes, recipients open a premium unboxing experience at home and redeem online for their perfect pair from 1,000+ styles.

The ROI Compounds

Every pair of sunglasses worn daily is a walking brand touchpoint. Expect Slack channels lighting up, LinkedIn posts tagging your company, and conversations that extend your brand reach for years — not the 48 hours a branded hoodie lasts before it hits the donation pile.

Common Use Cases

Tech companies run more high-stakes internal events than almost any other industry. Here's where sunglass gifting hits hardest.

Sales Kickoffs & President's Club

Your AEs just crushed quota. The SKO sets the tone for the next fiscal year, and President's Club is the reward they've been grinding toward. Set up an on-site activation where reps pick from Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, and Oakley — it becomes the most talked-about moment of the event and the gift that gets the most Slack messages. For President's Club trips, poolside or resort activations let winners choose designer frames while celebrating — the kind of reward that makes next year's quota feel worth chasing.

User Conferences & Partner Summits

Your annual conference is your biggest brand moment. While every other booth hands out stress balls and cheap sunglasses from Alibaba, you're offering a curated sunglass fitting experience with 200+ designer frames. It stops foot traffic, creates social media content, and gives VIP attendees a gift they'll associate with your brand every time they put them on. For partner summits and executive dinners, VIP gift boxes elevate the experience and signal that this relationship matters long after the event ends.

Client Milestone & Closing Gifts

You just closed a six-figure deal or hit a renewal milestone. The default move is a gift card or wine. The move that gets remembered? A VIP gift box with a custom note and access to Gucci, Prada, or Oliver Peoples. Ship it to the champion, the executive sponsor, and the project team. It turns a transaction into a relationship moment that influences the next renewal — and it's the gift sitting on their desk that every colleague asks about, opening a conversation about your company unprompted.

Some Of The
Brands We Carry

We offer the world's most sought-after luxury eyewear brands - from classic icons like Ray-Ban and Oakley to high-fashion houses like Prada, Gucci, and Versace. As authorized retailers with 17 years of expertise, we provide access to 1,000+ designer frames, ensuring every guest finds a style they'll love and actually wear.

FAQs

Here are some common questions about our services and how we can assist you.

Can you handle a hybrid SKO with remote and in-person attendees?

Yes — that's one of the most common setups we run for tech companies. On-site attendees get the full activation experience with fitting specialists. Remote team members receive VIP gift boxes shipped directly to their home with a redemption card to choose their frames online. Same premium experience, same brand impact, regardless of where your team is located.

What kind of custom branding can you add?

We brand the full experience, not the frames themselves — these are authentic designer sunglasses, not promotional products. Custom branding includes: branded sunglass cases, microfiber cleaning cloths with your logo, custom box sleeves and inserts, personalized note cards, and branded display signage for on-site activations. Your company's identity is woven into every touchpoint.

How does pricing work for large tech events?

Pricing scales with frame tier and volume. Most tech companies land in the $150–$350 per person range depending on the designer brands selected and level of custom branding. We offer volume pricing for events over 100 guests and can work within your per-person gifting budget. On-site activation setup, staffing, and logistics are included — no hidden fees.
