Invoicing runs in pesos at the Banco de México rate of the day.

H1 Guadalajara curation by event reason and by seniority

H1 curation for Guadalajara corporates depends on the event reason and the seniority of the recipient. For the regional western convention we run gifts between twenty-five hundred pesos (junior salesperson) and twenty-five thousand pesos (regional director). For trade shows at Expo Guadalajara we run visitor kits between two hundred and fifty and eight hundred pesos, premium gifts for top B2B clients between twenty-five hundred and fifteen thousand pesos.

For the annual shareholders meeting we run executive gifts between five thousand and eighty thousand pesos with premium packaging. For the mid-year kick-off (June) we run gifts between fifteen hundred and eight thousand pesos with executive curation.

The process starts with a session with the HR, Internal Communications, Training, Procurement, Marketing and Finance committees, where we set the H1 calendar, attendees per event, budget bands per seniority, destination of the gift and delivery deadline. H1 production normally closes between October 30 of the prior year and December 15 to secure capacity in peak season and avoid rush surcharges. For corporates running multiple H1 events we offer a semester package with volume discount, scheduled delivery and consolidated CFDI 4.0 invoice. Invoicing complies strictly with Mexican fiscal rules (CFDI 4.0, sixteen percent IVA, ISR withholding when applicable) and deductibility applies per the destination of the gift.
