Do 3P vendors still send out gifts during the holidays? I’ve only received one link this year from InMarket, nothing else, despite partnering with tons of vendors this year.

Years ago, vendors were sending gift baskets of catered food to the office this time of year. Today, with fewer people consistently in the office physically, and many agency teams now consisting of people working remotely from various cities simultaneously, it’s hard for vendors to know where or how to send gifts that will reach everyone at once in the same way.

They used to - but I’m noticing a decline in gifts and even like getting taken out for dinners by vendors, and other perks

Media: i am seeing more lavish gifts from key partners and less of the everyone gets a gift or from smaller media buys.

No, their margins are as bad as ours.
