Customized Gifts For Tech Lovers: Displate & Xiaomi Poland Collaboration

06 May 2022

Impressing tech enthusiasts is hard. Impressing tech influencers? Call it mission impossible. And yet Xiaomi Poland managed to do both. All it took was realizing that the way towards winning tech-savvy hearts is paved in metal.

There’s no better way to say ‘thank you’ than with a personalized gift. It’s as true in life as it is in building business, media, and community relations.
A well thought-out gift becomes a valuable memento for all those employees, influencers, and fans out there whose engagement and passion keep driving a brand’s success.

Small gestures hold big meaning and the tech magicians at Xiaomi Poland know all this perfectly well. Last Christmas, they were looking for a unique gift idea to surprise tech influencers with as well as something special for their most dedicated tech-loving fans.

This is how they found it. And how Displate helped them deliver a truly personal present.

Influencers in the spotlight ✨

Let’s face it: impressing tech influencers is REALLY hard. They’re flooded with promo materials and gifts almost every day. It takes something truly unique, personalized, and unconventional to leave them in awe.

Xiaomi Poland went out of their way to find that special something. They teamed up with Displate to design a series of personalized magazine covers. Each influencer was granted the title of the ‘Person of the Year’, with their major achievement summed up with a funny quote.

Here’s what the project looked like:

The country’s biggest tech geeks need something more than just a regular poster. That’s why Xiaomi Poland wanted to go metal. And they were right to do so – a little bird told us the influencers loved their gifts!

Displate helped us with creating unique gifts for our influencer friends and top Xiaomi Community members. They really loved their personalized metal posters! We’re happy we were able to surprise them with a one-of-a-kind Christmas present and say thank you for all those years they supported Xiaomi in Poland.

Special Displates for top MiFans 🎁

Tech influencers were not the only ones to get customized gifts. Xiaomi Poland also worked with Displate on the special Christmas Gala which awarded the most dedicated Polish fans among the Xiaomi Community.
Seven lucky MiFans won a chance to print their own photos on metal – something that only Displate Club Members get to do!

The winners were really impressed with their prints.Initially I was skeptical, but the photo is really top quality. The image is sharp and detailed, and the color reproduction is more than satisfying’, wrote one of them after receiving their award.‘I am delighted with the quality and workmanship! My dog likes it too

added another top MiFan.

Take a look at their well-deserved one-of-a-kind metal posters:

We’re really happy to have been a part of such an exciting initiative.
Congratulations both to the top MiFans as well as to the team at Xiaomi Poland.

They really outdid themselves in coming up with something special for people who play an equally special role in the brand’s success.

That’s the only way to go!
