Q&A with Our Head of Sales: Aidan!
Here at Hampers With Bite we thought it was time to introduce our amazing team! Our team is full of gourmet food aficionados, packaging experts, sales extraordinaires, and all round lovers of hampers. This close knit group work so hard to bring our clients and customers only the best of the best all year round, so let’s meet them!
First up it is none other than our reigning office table tennis champion, class clown and Head of Sales: Aidan!
Hi Aidan! Introduce yourself for us.
I’m Aidan and I work in sales here at Hampers With Bite!
What does sales entail?
At Hampers With Bite, sales means that I manage all orders that come in through our website. I especially deal with our bulk orders and corporate relationships, aka companies that will work with us every year for their gifting needs. My priorities are to build relationships with clients and make sure their orders are beautiful every time!
I also work a lot on our customised hampers that include special add ons and extras. My specialty is in corporate branding so if your company orders branded gifts through us they will work with me to make them picture perfect!
What is the hardest part about your job?
The fact that we are a seasonal business makes it a little tricky. We go from zero to one hundred super quickly!
What is the best part about your job?
When our customers receive their hampers and we then receive positive feedback is definitely the best. Seeing them happy with our outcome is a really good feeling. It is nice to follow the process with them. We especially have a lot of ongoing clients and building that trust and real relationship with them is awesome.
What is the most interesting part of your job?
Another great part is definitely the most interesting… we are constantly doing market research and competitor analysis which is so interesting! Going to seminars and conferences, having strategy meetings and brainstorms and much more. We want to know what is new in the market and if it works, we want to implement it!
What else do you do at Hampers With Bite?
Another task on my to-do list is managing our sales team around Christmas time each year, which for us is an amazingly busy time! This includes hiring staff, planning out their induction and working with them closely throughout the season to ensure we are on track and hitting our sales targets.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hampers With Bite handle bulk and corporate hamper orders?
Yes. Our sales team manages bulk orders and ongoing corporate relationships, with many companies ordering staff and client gifts with us each year. A dedicated contact helps build the order and keep details consistent across large quantities. This makes it easier to send a high volume of gifts without losing a personal touch.
Can company branding be added to corporate gift hampers?
Yes. Corporate branding is a specialty of our sales team, so company gifts can be finished to look professional and on brand. Branded hampers help reinforce your business identity when gifting staff, clients or partners. Speak with our team early so there is time to get the details picture perfect.
Can hampers be customised with add ons and extras?
Yes. We offer customised hampers that include special add ons and extras to suit the recipient or occasion. This lets you tailor a gift for a particular client, team member or celebration rather than choosing a fixed option. Our sales team can guide you on what works well together.
When should I place a large corporate order?
Because gift hampers are seasonal, demand rises sharply in the lead up to Christmas, so earlier is better for large corporate orders. Booking ahead gives more time for branding, customisation and a smooth delivery to multiple recipients. Reaching out well before the festive rush helps secure your preferences.
Can I send corporate hampers to multiple addresses?
Yes. Corporate clients often send gifts to many staff or clients at different locations, and our team can help coordinate this. Hampers With Bite offers fast Australia-wide delivery with Standard and Express options at checkout. Providing your recipient list early makes a multi-address send much smoother.
What types of hampers work best for clients and staff?
Gourmet food and wine hampers are popular for clients and senior staff, while sweet treat or snack hampers suit broad team gifting and recipients who do not drink alcohol. Mixing options across a team is easy when ordering in bulk. Our corporate gift hampers are a good starting point for business gifting.
Is a personalised message included with corporate gifts?
Yes. Every order comes with a free personalised gift card, so each recipient can receive a tailored note even on a large order. A short, warm message adds a personal feel to staff and client gifts. You can vary the message per recipient where needed.
How can I get in touch about a corporate or bulk order?
You can contact the Hampers With Bite team through our website to discuss bulk, branded or customised hamper orders. The team will help build the order, confirm options and keep your gifts consistent. Getting in touch early in the season gives the most flexibility.
