Looking for a special gift for clients or employees? Or a functional and stylish item that strengthens your brand? A custom-made fan combines design with practicality, making it a perfect solution.
Step 1: Defining Your Needs
Before we begin, we’ll outline your requirements:
✅ What is the purpose of the fan?
A luxurious corporate gift or a striking promotional item in your brand’s identity?
✅ Who is the target audience?
Employees, customers, or event visitors? Consider characteristics like age, lifestyle, and interests.
✅ Which size do you choose?
- 23 cm (folded) – the most common and practical size.
- Smaller – less cooling effect and less space for design.
- Larger (26 cm) – more striking but less convenient to carry.
✅ When do you need the fans?
Are they for an event or the holiday season? Keep in mind that production takes approximately two to three months.
