3 generations of giving.

Since 1953 Van Bavel – Enjoy Giving has been helping clients optimise their promotional mix. Because of the vast experience and broad network, Van Bavel has become one of the industry leaders in the market of promotional products serving both national and international clients.

The experienced team of in-house experts takes care of the entire process from A to Z.

The personal and creative approach ensures that, time and again, we succeed in developing impactful campaigns with proven results and without stress for the client. Because of this customer-friendly approach have been acclaimed several industry awards.

Van Bavel is more than a trader or an importer. We assist our clients from start to finish: The journey starts with a creative brainstorm followed by the search or production of original business gifts, giveaways, premiums and POS material. We also take care of branding, shipping and even warehousing as well as the delivery process.

Expertise and network

In addition to internal expertise, Van Bavel has also built up an extensive network of reliable partners. This allows us to guarantee the best prices and delivery times. Van Bavel only cooperates with partners who comply with applicable CSR guidelines and sustainability requirements.

At Van Bavel, we also play our part. For example:

  • by systematically replacing our existing company cars with electric ones. Today 25% of our fleet is electric, and we aim to increase that percentage to 50 by 2023.
  • 35% of our employees come to the office by bike. We encourage cycling to work by offering our staff electric bicycles.
  • We offer filtered tap water at the office and discourage the use of plastic bottles.
  • We have installed solar panels on the roof.
  • All windows are fitted with sun blinds to reduce the usage of air conditioning.
  • We try to reuse cardboard boxes as much as possible to reduce waste.
  • We always offer ecological alternatives to our customers.
  • We encourage bulk packing or use recycled packing material.

Van Bavel – Enjoy Giving: Market leader in promotional products

Van Bavel started selling promotional gifts almost seventy years ago. Thanks to this pioneering role, Van Bavel has become the market leader in product marketing, promotional products, gifts and premiums.

Giveaways are a small but personal token of appreciation towards the customer.

More than any other form of advertising, promotional products stimulate loyalty and customer retention. Therefore, it’s safe to say that promotional products are the cheapest form of advertising but with the biggest impact.

  • A tailor-made marketing strategy
  • Low-cost solutions with great impact
  • Dedicated team of in-house experts who provide an excellent service
  • Extensive network of reliable partners
  • Focus on CSR and sustainability

The art of giving has been flowing through our veins for three generations.
