not my area, but I did come across a relevant case study this morning

two ladies - 15 year corporate experience - identified the following problem: "for years we've been receiving corporate gifts which we didn't want", which makes sense

the solution they implemented was "You've Been Gifted Pty. Ltd", which didn't appear to be anything more than some PMB shop they started in their kitchen.

$60k initial investment, $2mill turnover 4 years later

corporations give gifts. they approach the corporation and pitch a contract: "outsource to us, let us do it, so your stuff can focus on the job they were hired to do, rather than shopping for gifts".
