Event FAQs: Answers to the questions you will receive from attendees

What is GiftAFeeling?
GiftAFeeling, like many people understand, is not merely a gifting site. It’s a place where you can educate yourselves on “how to give a perfect gift” based on research and studies done by Harvard, University of Berkeley - California, BBC, Association of Consumer Research, and clinical psychologists around the world.
While GiftAFeeling provides this education in terms of videos, books, research papers, blogs, and many more; they also sell gifts that are personalized, provide an unforgettable experience, are practical, and provide a long-term satisfaction.
What are the benefits of GiftAFeeling?
Having spent years working with clinical psychologists, studying research from the Association of Consumer Research, UCBerkeley, BBC, and so on., it is found that there are four common attributes of gifting that tends to evoke chemicals relating to happiness in the human brain. These attributes are:
  1. Personalization
  2. Usefulness
  3. experience, and
  4. long-term satisfaction
These four attributes are certain to spark the feelings and emotions of happiness, wholesomeness, and contentment if done right. And as our CEO likes to put it - “These four attributes are the secret compounds to spark the right chemicals in your brain, whether it’s for you or anyone else - they never miss”
GiftAFeeling offers education on these as well as all their products are proven to fulfill these 4 pillars of a perfect gift. Thus, their gifts/products are sure to be loved by the recipients!
What's the shipping like?
Shipping destinations:We ship worldwide for FREE! No minimum orders or amount.

International orders take 5-7 business days to be delivered via UPS, FedEx, Purolator or USPS. Shipping time might vary depending on location, shipment method and other factors.

If I want to join as a Brand Ambassador - what's the process like?
GiftAFeeling hires round-the-year. You can keep a track of hiring on their job site - https://www.giftafeeling.com/pages/career-opportunities OR follow them on LinkedIn which is their major platform for hiring people.
How is GiftAFeeling different?
Simply put, and to break the thought cycle of what many people think of GiftAFeeling, which is “it’s a gift e-commerce store”, I would rather say that it’s a learning platform where you can learn anything and everything relating to “The Science of Gifting” on a practical manner so that you can choose the right gift for your friends and family. And as we always say - we never tell people to buy from GiftAFeeling because we don’t believe anyone can ever get someone to buy from us. We understand that there are a lot of companies out there investing fortunes into their marketing strategies to snach every single penny out of customer’s pockets, but it only takes one badly received gift over all their promises that would mark the downfall of these companies. However, what we believe in and recommend you is to get educated on GiftAFeeling. Learning the Science behind gifting is of utmost importance, not only to gift well, but to also refrain from falling prey to these other giant companies with their fake promises of “Best gifts”.

Conclusively, this company was created to bridge this gap between learning and buying, based on research done on human psychology. With the vision to leave zero questions in the mind of people when they are gifting, our goal is to make gifting as easy as grabbing coffee; no over-thinking or questioning. Our company redefines the word “Gift” as "GiftAFeeling”.
What is the refund policy?
Unlike every other company, we don’t want you to read through hundreds of lines to learn how we refund and return items. Thus, GiftAFeeling provides a human readable policy: https://www.giftafeeling.com/blogs/news/our-services On a side note, we donate the returned items to a charity of your choice, and any damaged apparel will be donated to animal shelters for their needs. The charity options will be provided to you when you contact us for an item return.

Goal 1 - Getting READY:
Let’s get ready! First, as a Campus Ambassador, you need to understand what opportunities are available to you on your local campus and area to promote the GiftAFeeling brand and drive awareness. In this section, we will discuss the early steps you can complete once you’ve been hired as a Campus Ambassador.
LEAD AMBASSADOR: Meet your President
Campus Ambassadors are not directly part of the executive board. However, it is important to know and communicate with those that lead you. Your Lead Ambassador is Priyanka Sai. Should you have any questions or concerns throughout the term, you can reach out to her at GiftAFeeling1@gmail.com.
Step 1: Submit your IDs (within 24 hours)
Please submit a government issued ID (example - Driver's License, Passport copy, etc.,) within 24 hours. Secondly, it is recommended that you update experience to add GiftAFeeling on your LinkedIn profile (please create if you don’t already have one). Once completed and accuracy confirmed, please email Hello@GiftAFeeling.com so we can process and mail your welcome kit
Step 2: Complete Training
Training is done independently by each ambassador on the team. Training means learning about the brand - who we are, what we do, and what’s your role
  1. Watch this amazing YouTube video.
  2. Read About Us, the services we provide, and what we sell.
  3. Check out our blogs.
  4. Check out how we fulfil bulk orders(it may have something for you!)
  5. Take a tour of our US production facilities.
  6. Training can take up to 4 hours and should be completed in the next 1-2 days.
Step 3 - Follow our channels
As an addition to all the training, GiftAFeeling takes pride in educating all its users and followers on their social media channels. We post educational videos in different format - videos, carousels, pdfs, pins, etc., to turn education into a captivating format called Edutainment (education + entertainment). Follow us everywhere:
Instagram,Facebook, Quora, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Pinterest, YouTube.
If you don’t want to follow the links, just locate @GiftAFeeling on any of the above mentioned platforms.
Step 4 - Monthly Touchpoints
We will have our first team meeting to introduce the role and have your immediate questions answered. We will go over a sample calendar of events and the social media strategy. In some instances, due to timing, the team may have met already. These meetings will be recorded. If you missed the team kick-off meeting, connect with your lead ambassador right away to get filled in. Calendar invites will be sent out two weeks prior to the touchpoints. In total, there will be 4 checkpoints for your 4 months term - one touchpoint each month. The goals, progress, and strategies will be shared in these touchpoints.
Step 5: Research/Plan
1)TABLING LOCATIONS - Identify the best high traffic locations (student union, quad area, local restaurants, etc.) that will be your target areas to table as an ambassador.
Location Tips: Tabling activities work well in places like:
  • Student unions
  • Transportation lots
  • Anywhere campus events are already hosted
  • Main thoroughfare to classes or main campus building
  • Welcome week/Student Org Fair
  • Dorms during move-in days
  • Arenas or sports facilities around an event
  • Career Fair
Highest trafficked space (dining halls before, between, and after classes) or after work meetups. You can connect with people virtually on LinkedIn or any other means should there be any COVID restrictions.
2)IDENTIFY PARTNER GROUPS/DEPARTMENTS - Identify key groups to request support in promoting that GiftAFeeling invitations have been mailed. Each Ambassador should think of 3-4 other groups or departments/majors on campus for who we could engage. Example group(s) to network with:
  • Student involvement office
  • Residence Life
  • Campus events groups
  • Career Services
  • School of Business
  • Other leadership organizations
During COVID, while everything is switched to virtual, you can email your college’s or university’s events hub or International centers.
3)IDENTIFY CAMPUS POLICIES - Research and confirm the campus policy around handing out materials and marketing (chalking/flyering). Clarify and understand all regulations before engaging in these activities. Ensure the National Office knows of your plans. ex: tabling, flyering, chalking, handing out leaflets without a table
4)IDENTIFY SPECIFIC DAYS AND TIMES - While we await the final timeline of events for your specific campus, as a team, you should confirm the best times to be in your hotspots, as well as the best days of the week to conduct tabling activities and information sessions. The goal is to be visible to the largest number of students possible with the full Ambassador team present.
5)RESEARCH THE CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT FAIR - One of the best ways to be visible is to host a table at the involvement fair. If this event falls during the invitation timeline, confirm all Ambassadors are able to attend and table. Discuss as a team.
GOAL 2: Let’s get set!
This stage begins once GiftAFeeling has finished the orientation, you have a week days before the first event and social media post. We are going to timeline out our calendar and activities down to the specific date/time for a clean and easy execution plan. Your goal is to apply the tactics given in this portion to maximize the opportunity on your local campus.
Understand and Finalize the Calendar
During training and in the ‘Ready’ phase, you identified the ideal days, times, and locations for hosting the most successful tabling events and information sessions. GiftAFeeling will also provide you a schedule of social media posts which you will post from your personal social media accounts. You will use this as your official calendar/job schedule. We recommend using a Google Calendar to keep track of your events. This way you can invite each Ambassador and any helpers to each and every event, and it is on everyone’s calendar. If you’ve never used Google Calendar before, here’s a guide to getting started.
TIMELINE TASK

  1. Sign up for our Affiliate program - make money as well as safe money!
  2. Ensure table space is reserved appropriately and all Ambassador team members committed, know the logistics
  3. Confirm with the GiftAFeeling that this is scheduled, so they can mail giveaway items to campus. Confirm shipping address & delivery date for materials to be mailed.
  4. Identify the specific marketing tools to drive people to your event/table--what marketing tools will you use? (flyers, chalking, ads on TVs/newsletters)
  5. Let’s talk digital now: With COVID, most of these activities are now switched to virtual; leaving social media platforms, the only means to communicate and organize events! Here’s what you can do:
    • Invite your friends and family to follow GiftAFeeling on all the platforms; if not all then Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Quora.
    • Share our posts and participate by commenting.
    • Invite people and join our lives.

  2. Wait for an email about upgraded instructions according to your performance. An invitation for touchpoint would be sent out in the 5th week. During the touchpoint the leaders board would be shared - listing the top ambassadors from the first month. You can see your rankings and see how close you are to winning iPhone 12 and other amazing prices.
  3. Ensure all technology is charged, and working (speaker, personal laptop/ipad). This will be an important touchpoint for the rest of your term/terms
  4. Keep sharing, participating, and educating people in your vicinity. 5) The agenda for the rest of your term will be shared in the touchpoint as you will be divided into subgroups based on the performance, and strengths. Some of you may be promoted as well!

Overall Best Practices for hosting an engaging event
We want to create engaging campaigns that people can’t miss out on. Here are our 10 best practices to creating them:
  1. Be proactive and prepared - you “start” before the campaigns or event or social media promotion starts (If you’re not early, you’re late)
  2. Keep a consistent tone with professionalism, poise, and positivity. Should you need any resources, let us know!
  3. Have music playing pre and post if you’re doing an in-person event.
  4. Smile, always smile! :)
  5. Be cognizant of body language (don’t cross your arms, don’t turn your back to the table)
  6. Ask open-ended questions when speaking with students
  7. Keep personal conversations to a minimum, focus on engaging people walking by or whoever you’re sharing on social media.
  8. If doing in-person campaigns, make sure the table is neat, clean, and presentable. You should have easy access to all materials at all times, and should always have items visible to give away.
  9. Stay off of your cell phone/put it away if organizing a meeting or an in-person event.
  10. Ensure internet access is available and connected. Promote the step & repeat photo op, raffle, and giveaways.
Tabling (for in-person events)
