The lead-up to Christmas is the perfect time to organise an office declutter in preparation for a fresh New Year.

Setting up a declutter campaign at any time of the year is a brilliant opportunity to get creative with your reuse project.

And it’s a great way to boost engagement during one of the busiest times of the year.

Here’s everything you need to set up a declutter campaign and do take a look at our top tips on delivering a reuse campaign at Christmas.

Once you have your declutter plan in place one of the first actions is to tell everybody about it.

Simply send your members a message encouraging them to reuse. This is a super easy action you can take with good impact.

Here is a template announcement you can use and amend as you see fit. 

The festive season is the perfect time to declutter your office space ready for a fresh and productive New Year.

You’ll get that feeling of enormous wellbeing with a clean and tidy area, which will translate to better productivity and success for 2023.

While you declutter stop make sure you gift any unwanted or extra items, including furniture, fixtures, and stationery, to colleagues who want them. Don’t just put them in the bin!

The Warp It reuse and redistribution system makes this easy. It gives you the chance to sort out your working environment and ensure the items you no longer want are rehomed and reused.

As well as making easy to gift surplus items to colleagues, Warp It will also help you rehome items to partner organisations or charities.

So, if you have an item that is taking up space that you no longer need, put it on Warp It. Or if you’re looking for an item, check Warp It before you buy new.

Get started now and see this Christmas become the perfect opportunity to increase the use of Warp It!

Once you've crafted your message, send it to your members via the system. Log in as admin. Click members then click email. 

Why deliver a reuse message at Christmas?

As the holiday approaches staff tend to get excited and often look for distractions. Clearing their space is a great way to do something a bit different with a productive outcome.

It’s a logical move to declutter space at Christmas ready for return to work in the New Year and new start in January.

Marketing statistics show that it takes an average of six points of contact to make a sale. In our terms this means your staff need to see a piece of content about how good your reuse system is six times before they take part, so a declutter campaign in the lead-up to Christmas is another opportunity.

Most people don’t want to exchange gifts with co-workers because it can be awkward, so gifting surplus assets is super easy and fun way around this.

At Christmas people often feel more generous so emphasise the charitable giving aspects of your reuse program. Read more on the charity matching service here. 

Christmas is also an ideal time to reward staff who use the Warp It reuse system. Consider doing a free prize draw, Christmas food hamper always go down well, or sending a Christmas goodie for anyone adding an item.
