How corporate gifting in South Africa works on Plum

01

Set up and fund

Sign up, complete a one-time business check, and add funds to your Plum wallet.

02

Add your staff

Upload a spreadsheet with names, mobile numbers or emails, and a value for each person.

03

Approve and send

A second person signs off, then cards go out now or on the date you set, and you track every send live.

What you get

Staff gifts without the logistics

Delivered in seconds

Cards go out by email, SMS or WhatsApp, so retail, warehouse and site teams without a work inbox are included.

Your brand on every card

Each email carries your logo, colours and a message from leadership.

Their choice of brand

Send a reward link and each person picks a brand they like from the Plum catalogue.

Ready before the shutdown

Schedule the Christmas send once, and every card goes out before people leave for December.

Sign-off and tracking

A second person approves each order, and you track every send live. Plum is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.

Unclaimed value comes back

Reward links can expire on a date you set. Anything not claimed returns to your wallet.

Digital instead of hampers

Corporate gifts in South Africa, sent as digital gift cards

Gift cards on Plum are sent digitally, so there’s no stock to order, no deliveries to branches and no boxes left behind when the office closes for December.

  • Nothing to pack, store or courier between provinces.
  • Each person picks a brand, instead of the same hamper for everyone.
  • Staff on leave or working remotely still get their card on their phone.

Christmas and year-end

Christmas gifts for staff, sent before the shutdown

Many South African businesses close from mid-December into early January. Schedule Christmas gift cards for the last working week, so they arrive before people leave for the holidays.

  • One send for the whole company, at every branch and site.
  • A different value per team or grade in the same order.
  • Mark Heritage Day, Women’s Month, Diwali and Eid the same way through the year.

Staff gift cards

Staff gift cards in South Africa, from one spreadsheet

Upload your staff list once, and Plum sends every card in one go, in a branded email or message with your logo, colours and a note from leadership.

  • WhatsApp or SMS for staff who don’t sit at a desk.
  • Load birthdays and work anniversaries once, and each card goes out on the day.
  • Let each person pick a brand, or send one card to everyone.
