Here at Gift Baskets Overseas, we call winter holidays “The High Season.” During this period, thousands of orders come from all over the world, oftentimes in the last minute before the actual holiday. However, the corporate holiday season is different. It starts as early as October. For many of our customers, their order means delivery of dozens or even hundreds of gifts to different countries, to residential and business addresses. One such customer is Jooble — a company that offers a vertical job search engine in more than seventy countries. Today we sit with Jooble’s business development manager, Marine Palienko, to discuss their gift programs and how they used Gift Baskets Overseas for corporate gifts.

One of the numerous aspects of life that changed dramatically over the course of 2020, is how the business community perceives events and related networking. Of course, online events existed for a long time, mostly in form of webinars, conferences, and networking meetups that often accompanied larger in-person events and mostly targeted people who couldn’t attend those. But today, almost all business events, large and small, are going virtual.
