Client Background:

Meet McLennan Ross, LLP, the esteemed Canadian law firm named the 2023 Canadian 'Regional Law Firm of the Year' by Chambers Canada. With over 115 lawyers in offices across Edmonton, Calgary, and Yellowknife, McLennan Ross provides unrivaled client focus, offering expertise in management-side Labour & Employment, premier Litigation, and Corporate Commercial Law. Guided by their core values, they endeavor to make a difference in the lives of clients, community, and each other. Partnering with Gift Better Co., McLennan Ross embarked on a thoughtful holiday gifting project that allowed recipients to choose their preferred gift themes while maintaining an element of surprise, all while supporting local food banks to spread holiday joy.

The Challenge: Providing Options at Scale

Because client satisfaction is of utmost importance to McLennan Ross, the firm wanted their clients to have a say in the gift they received, while still maintaining an element of surprise. McLennan Ross partners sought to provide their clients with a selection of gift themes to choose from, adding an extra layer of personalization. Additionally, the partners also wanted to have custom messages on the cards, signed by each of the partners that worked with each client. Collecting accurate shipping information for each client was also essential to ensure seamless gift delivery.

Solution:

In order to allow gift recipients to have a choice in their gift without ruining the surprise, Gift Better Co. deployed a tech-enabled solution that gave recipients a choice while collecting their most up-to-date address information. Recipients were sent a link to a custom landing page where they could choose between two gift themes, allowing them to select the general theme of their gift without seeing what was inside. On the same page, recipients also filled out their address information, ensuring a smooth and personalized gift delivery process.


With the Address Collect Solution in place, McLennan Ross partners confidently provided their clients with the opportunity to choose their preferred gift theme. This thoughtful approach not only made the recipients feel valued but also allowed them to anticipate and enjoy the surprise of their chosen gift.
