Case Studies
See how leading brands use BirdieBox to build gifting programs that scale — without losing the personal touch.
D.R. Horton: The Welcome Home Experience
How America’s biggest homebuilder turned closing day into a brand moment — at national scale.
The Challenge
D.R. Horton builds more single-family homes in the U.S. than anyone — across 36 states and hundreds of communities. They needed a gifting partner who could deliver a consistent, premium welcome experience at every closing, in every market, without creating operational complexity for their division teams.
The BirdieBox Solution
Branded Gift Store
D.R. Horton’s own branded store powered by BirdieBox, ensuring consistency across every region and community type.
Personalized Kitting
Every welcome experience curated and personalized — from brand elements and local touches to items that make a house feel like home.
Dedicated Team
A dedicated customer success team worked hand-in-hand with DRH, ensuring fulfillment, customization, and quality control at scale.
Photo Verification
Every box photographed before shipping — so each division saw exactly what their homebuyers would receive.
“BirdieBox has been such an asset to the Iowa Division in terms of providing quality homebuyer and real estate agent gifts… to show our appreciation. I would highly recommend using BirdieBox for any post-closing gifts or agent gifts in general!”
— Bryce Verlinden, Marketing Coordinator, Iowa Division, D.R. Horton“BirdieBox is so much more than a personalized gift solution. They take customization, personalization and customer service to the next level. The branded closing gift sets they put together for us have been a huge hit and have impressed customers and sales agents alike.”
