Laser engraving, especially using fiber laser engravers, allows for intricate designs and personalization that will make your products stand out. In this guide, we will explore several creative laser-engraved gift ideas and strategies to successfully sell them during the busy holiday season.
1. Lucky Coins:Â Bring Good Fortune with Laser Engraving
During the New Year, it's common for families to exchange lucky coins as symbols of wealth and good fortune. These lucky coins are typically made from materials like brass, alloy, or stainless steel which are perfect for metal engraving and are intended for decoration rather than circulation. Laser engraving on lucky coins can feature names, dates, or special messages, making each one unique. Since these materials are affordable and versatile, lucky coins are an excellent product for market stalls or bulk collaborations with other businesses. A low-margin, high-volume sales strategy can help you appeal to a wide audience and boost sales during the holidays.
