Marketing corp final bundle: the merch that holds the campaign after the media buy runs out
The marketing corp final bundle is built for Mexican corporates running integrated marketing campaigns —product launch, awareness campaign, loyalty campaign, seasonal campaign, rebranding campaign— that need merch to reinforce the campaign message at point of sale, events, on social media or in the customer experience. It's the kit that sustains brand presence between media flights, between events, and that turns customers or prospects into messengers of the message. The CFDI 4.0 invoice uses CFDI Uso G01 (acquisition of merchandise) when run as deductible commercial spend.
Merch as an extension of the advertising message
The Mexican corporate running disciplined marketing recognises that media advertising has a short life: a TV ad lasts 30 seconds, a social-media post lasts 24 hours in the feed, a digital banner has a 0.5 to 1.5% CTR, an email has an 18 to 25% open rate. Merch, in contrast, lives months or years in the recipient's hand: the t-shirt is worn every week, the thermos goes to the office every morning, the backpack travels every weekend. Merch is the longest-lived advertising investment.
The marketing corp final bundle runs on five parallel tracks: confirmation of the creative brief with the marketing team (6 to 8 weeks out), adaptation of the creative concept to merch with the design team (4 to 5 weeks out), production with lead time (3 to 4 weeks out), delivery to the client's warehouse or distribution points (2 to 3 weeks out) and replenishment during the campaign. For corporates with recurring annual campaigns (typically groups with 4+ campaigns per year) we run a planned calendar with preferential pricing.
The campaign is invoiced with CFDI 4.0 to the client's marketing or communications department using CFDI Uso G01 when treated as deductible commercial spend. For campaigns with social-responsibility components (typical corporates with ESG commitments donating merch for a cause) the invoice carries the specific description and the supporting documentation the sustainability team needs for the report.
Bundle components
The bundle runs in three versions by campaign scope: mass campaign kit (3 functional pieces from 5,000 units), segmented campaign kit (4 premium pieces from 500 units), premium campaign kit (6 curated pieces from 100 units).

Multi-channel merch distribution
The Mexican corporate running integrated campaigns operates six main merch distribution channels. Point-of-sale channel (own store, department store, self-service store) runs delivery to the client's warehouse with periodic replenishment based on sales. Event channel (trade show, expo, launch, conference) runs delivery to the venue with temporary warehousing and Corp-Merch.MX staff on site. Digital channel (e-commerce, social media, influencer campaign) runs delivery to the end customer's home via tracked courier.
Customer office channel (branch, distribution centre, plant) runs consolidated delivery to the client's chosen address. Corporate gifting channel (VIP customer, strategic partner, press) runs differentiated delivery per recipient with premium packaging and personalised card. Social-cause channel (donation to a foundation, social-responsibility programme, cause campaign) runs delivery to the foundation or programme with the supporting documentation for the ESG report.
For campaigns with export components (typical corporates with US presence under USMCA or Latin American operations) we run international courier with the Carta Porte 3.0 complement and invoicing in USD, MXN or EUR per the client's fiscal regime. Delivery is coordinated with the fiscal and customs calendar to avoid delays at the northern border or departure airport.
For campaigns with digital components (typical campaign with QR code, landing page, hashtag or Instagram filter) we integrate the QR code engraved or printed on the merch that leads to the campaign landing page, or the printed hashtag the end customer uses on social media. The invoice carries the digital component's specific description and the unit breakdown.
