We love our friends and show it often. One of the ways we show love is by giving gifts, such as custom face socks. This is part of our Thank You Machine, which is part of the larger Content Factory process.
Imagine your face on a pair of socks. So cool!
It is the kind of personalized gift that people appreciate– and we’ve even collected hundreds of social media posts where people proudly share them.
This task is usually done by VAs ordering face socks for clients of our agencies, conference organizers that have hired us to speak, and other partners.
But anyone can order face socks themselves using this process– to surprise and delight a friend, client, or loved one.
We not only order these face socks for our direct clients (such as agencies, conference organizers, and other partners), but we also help our clients order these gifts for their own customers, creating memorable experiences for everyone involved.
Before placing an order
If you ever get asked to order custom socks for someone, you’ll need to gather some information first.
You’d want to know the following:
Who is it for?
You will be supplied with the name of the intended recipient. You may need to search through email messages to find their names. If you’re not sure who the recipient is, please ask someone who knows.
Where will it be delivered?
You will need the mailing address here. To get it, use Google. Search their business website and even their social media accounts. If you need to ask the person, do it through email. Ask for their mailing address and tell them that it’s for updating our contact list. If that doesn’t work, ask Dennis.
Where can you get a decent picture?
You will also need to find a suitable picture. You can get one from their LinkedIn profile, business bio, social media, or company website. Please make sure that the person in the picture and the intended recipient are one and the same person.
You will need a message to go with the gift
Most likely, you will be supplied with the message, but just in case you don’t receive a message, please ask the sender or use your best judgment. Here is a video guide on how to personalize notes for gift orders:
Order Price and Availability
Note that every order is available only for shipping within the United States.
