The window from July to December concentrates roughly forty percent of the annual gifting budget of the northern corporate.

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

H2 Monterrey curation by event reason and by seniority

H2 curation for Monterrey corporates depends on the event reason and the seniority of the recipient. For FABTECH Mexico and trade shows at Cintermex 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 with automotive or aerospace curation. For Buen Fin MTY we run cause-driven B2B kits between fifteen hundred and twenty-five thousand pesos. For Día de Muertos we run cultural-motif gifts between three hundred and fifty and twenty-five hundred pesos and premium gifts with huichol art between five thousand and thirty-five thousand pesos. For the aguinaldo we run gift cards between one thousand and fifteen thousand pesos per seniority. For Posadas we run gifts with northern motifs between four hundred and twenty-five hundred pesos. For the year-end gala we run premium gifts between fifteen thousand and eighty thousand pesos.

The process starts with a session with the HR, Internal Communications, Training, Procurement, Marketing and Finance committees, where we set the H2 calendar, attendees per event, budget bands per seniority, destination of the gift and delivery deadline. H2 production normally closes between April 30 and June 30 to secure capacity in peak season and avoid rush surcharges. For corporates running multiple H2 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.
