H2 2026 operating rhythm in Mexico

The Mexican H2 is the most demanding half of the year. July and August are lower-intensity months due to summer vacation; corporates leave smaller merchandise production (school supplies, mid-year review). September is the return month and Fiestas Patrias. October is Buen Fin launch month. November is Buen Fin proper and Día de Muertos. December is posadas, aguinaldo, christmas party and New Year. Domestic courier operates at full capacity throughout December, so basket reservations must close by November 15.

At Corp-Merch.MX we run the H2 production chain with a master calendar that starts in June. Back-to-school production delivers between August 15 and 25. Fiestas Patrias material delivers between September 5 and 12. Buen Fin production closes by October 30. Día de Muertos production closes by October 15. Posada and aguinaldo basket production closes by October 30 for December delivery. Christmas party production closes by November 15 for December delivery. For corporates operating in more than one city we run synchronized delivery via domestic courier. For corporates on the northern border (Tijuana, Juárez, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo) aguinaldo delivery coordinates with extended plant hours. For corporates with US or Canadian operations, shipping under USMCA. For corporates under IMMEX, deduction when the basket ties to retention at the plant. Invoicing runs in pesos at the Banco de México rate of the day.

Second-half curation by block

H2 curation depends on the event block. For the cultural and family block we run Mexican-motif and practical merchandise: patriotic polos, school backpack, supplies kit, standout employee merchandise. For the heavy commercial block we run promotional and Mexican-motif merchandise: mug, USB, notebook, pen, Halloween merchandise, Día de Muertos merchandise, Buen Fin merchandise. For the year-end block we run premium merchandise: wine or mezcal box, artisanal chocolates, seniority-selected merchandise. For the strategic close block we run premium-plus merchandise: Citizen watch, Tumi luggage, artwork, Longines watch, Montblanc pen.

The process begins with the H2 calendar definition in a session with the HR, Internal Communications, Training, Procurement and Marketing committees. We define event reason, attendees, budget bands, delivery deadline and basket destination. We produce from fifty units for a mid-year review breakfast up to fifty thousand units for a nationwide Buen Fin activation. For corporates running multiple H2 events we offer a half-year package with volume discount and scheduled delivery. CFDI 4.0 invoicing, sixteen percent IVA, deductible per the destination of the spend.
