RFQ PREPARATION GUIDE
Use this corporate gift quote checklist to prepare product, quantity, logo, packaging, sample and delivery details before requesting a custom gift quote.
QUICK ANSWER
A quote is most accurate when buyers provide the product direction, quantity, target budget, logo file, branding method, packaging needs, delivery country, postal code, target date and sample requirement.

Many corporate gift inquiries begin with a short message such as "please quote 500 gift sets." That is a start, but it leaves too many variables open. Two gift sets with the same quantity can differ sharply because of product material, decoration method, box structure, insert card, carton packing and shipping destination. The checklist below helps buyers send a request that can be evaluated instead of guessed.
Sendora Gift uses RFQ details to narrow product options, recommend practical combinations and identify what still needs confirmation. The goal is not to pressure buyers into a fixed product. It is to turn an early idea into a quote path that procurement, HR or event teams can discuss internally.
The product section should explain the gift purpose and any required items. Buyers can share a reference page, a competitor example, a photo, a product list or a short audience description. For logo work, vector artwork is ideal when available. Brand color notes, placement preferences and restrictions should be included early because some decoration methods are better for certain materials.
Packaging is often where hidden assumptions appear. A gift box, mailer, paper bag, sleeve, insert tray, sticker or greeting card can change the quote and sample process. Buyers should say whether packaging is required, flexible or still undecided. If a campaign message or card text is planned, that should be part of the approval flow.
Delivery information should include country, postal code, destination type, target date and whether the order ships to one location or many. If the buyer has a forwarder, warehouse or event venue, those details can guide packing and label decisions. If the order is urgent, the team should identify which decisions can be simplified to protect the schedule.
Sample requirements should be stated before quote finalization. Some buyers need a digital mockup only, while others need a physical sample before bulk approval. The sample path depends on product choice, artwork and packaging. A named approval contact helps avoid delays when several departments are involved.
A checklist also helps buyers compare supplier responses. If one quote includes custom packaging, sample review and shipping assumptions while another only lists product cost, the two numbers are not directly comparable. Procurement teams should ask what is included, what is estimated and what still depends on final confirmation.
The strongest RFQ gives enough detail for a useful recommendation but leaves room for practical alternatives. If the preferred item creates a difficult MOQ or packaging issue, Sendora Gift can suggest an adjacent option that keeps the project purpose intact. That flexibility often saves time during early sourcing.
