The first-quarter calendar

Why corporate gifting starts in January.

A fresh budget, a wave of start dates and the year's biggest internal events land in the same few weeks. Here's where a branded paddle fits.

January – March

New-hire welcome kits

The first-day box sets the tone. A paddle with your logo is the welcome gift that ends up at the company league night, not in a desk drawer.

Our pick: Paddle + cover bundle
January

Sales kickoffs & all-hands

Put a paddle at every seat or in every room drop, then make the evening event a pickleball tournament. The swag becomes part of the agenda.

Our pick: Fiberglass paddle
January – February

President's Club & annual awards

Recognize last year's top performers on stage with a carbon fiber set: two paddles, two balls and a carry bag, ready to hand over.

Our pick: Carbon fiber set
January

Wellness challenge kickoff

New Year's resolutions meet the company wellness program. A paddle and a lunchtime league give people a reason to get moving together.

Our pick: Fiberglass paddle
January – March

Trade show season

The year's first trade shows and conferences fill the first quarter. A stack of logo paddles on the booth table draws a crowd and goes home in the suitcase.

Our pick: Fiberglass paddle
First Friday in March · March 5, 2027

Employee Appreciation Day

Order in February and the thank-you is on every desk that morning. A small batch works: the minimum is 10.

Our pick: Paddle + cover bundle
Timing

Plan backward from day one.

01
Send your logo

Vector preferred (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF), but a clean high-res PNG works. Tell us the headcount and the date.

02
Free mockup in 24h

See your logo on the paddle before you commit, and change it until it's right.

03
Approve & we print

3–5 business days in St. Petersburg, Florida, full color or Pantone-matched.

04
Hand them out

Ship to the office or split the run across several addresses for remote hires.

Kickoff in early January?

Approve your mockup by mid-December so the paddles arrive before the holiday slowdown.

Hiring all year?

Order the quarter's paddles in one run at the bulk price and hand them out as people start.

Why a paddle

Better than the usual welcome swag.

Gets used

Played with, not shelved

A paddle goes to the court with coworkers. It turns a welcome gift into an invitation to the next company game.

Batch size

10 at a time

A 10-paddle minimum fits a monthly start class, so you don't have to order the whole year up front to get started.

Brand

Your exact colors

Pantone matching is included, so the paddle matches the rest of the welcome kit.

Gifting for the rest of the year? See corporate gifts →
What's the minimum order for onboarding gifts?+

10 paddles, or 10 paddle-and-cover bundles. Sets start at 5. One $50 setup fee applies per design, not per paddle.

Can we order once and hand them out all quarter?+

Yes. Order the quarter's paddles in one run, which also puts the order on a lower price tier, and keep them on hand for each start date.

Can you ship to remote new hires?+

We can split a run across several addresses. Ask for a quote and include the list of addresses.

Can each paddle have the new hire's name on it?+

One design per run is standard. Names or a different design on each paddle are quoted separately, so tell us what you have in mind.

When should we order for a January sales kickoff?+

Production is 3–5 business days after you approve the mockup, plus shipping. For a kickoff in the first two weeks of January, approve your mockup by mid-December so the paddles arrive before the holiday slowdown.

Can you match our brand colors?+

Yes. Send Pantone (PMS) codes or brand guidelines and we'll match them on the paddle at no extra charge.

Are the balls and the set bag printed too?+

The paddles carry your logo. The balls and the bag come unbranded, and bag printing is available as an add-on at quote.

Your logo in the welcome kit

Start the year with swag people keep.

Send your logo and headcount. We'll send back a free mockup within 24 hours, with no commitment.
