How does live personalization work?
How does live personalization work?
It looks like this (complimentary to your customers or guests) ...
I write names or messages on branded items or gifts right in front of them.
They feel valued, along with a sense of belonging and distinction.
It sounds like this ...
In store: (purchasing another item) "Mom's birthday is coming up too."
Corporate or social event: "I'm holding on to this."
