A selective partnership for trusted introductions
The right introduction can begin a lasting relationship.
DONUM works with a small circle of trusted partners who recognise where our approach may create genuine value — and are willing to open the door through a thoughtful, personal introduction.
Personal introductions only. No public affiliate links, discount codes or mass promotion.
Why introductions matter
Some opportunities should not begin with a cold email.
Many of the relationships DONUM is best suited to serve are built on trust long before a commercial conversation begins.
They exist between advisors and clients, hoteliers and guests, founders and partners, or professionals who understand the priorities of the people around them.
A considered introduction gives DONUM something that no campaign can create on its own: context.
It allows us to understand why the relationship matters, which moment may be relevant and how the conversation should begin.
You do not need to sell DONUM. You only need to recognise where it belongs.
About DONUM
A physical extension of relationship strategy.
DONUM helps selected organisations transform moments of personal recognition into curated physical and sensory experiences.
The recipient does not simply receive another object.
They receive an Edition that is personally presented, taken home and returned to through materiality, ritual, scent and taste. The original moment can therefore remain present long after the meeting, visit, handover or celebration has ended.
DONUM is developed for relationships where relevance, thoughtfulness and lasting memory matter more than promotional visibility.
Not promotional merchandise. Not a gift catalogue. A deliberately developed relationship experience.
At the centre of the current DONUM Edition is ARGANERO: a 30 ml Argan–Habanero composition presented with a pipette, a narrative booklet and a carefully developed presentation.
It is experienced as a refined culinary finishing ritual. Its strategic value lies not in a single handover, but in the recurring opportunity to reconnect the recipient with the person, organisation or occasion behind it.
Selected relationship moments
For relationships that deserve more than a conventional gesture.
A strong introduction usually begins with a specific relationship or moment — not with a general request for corporate gifts.
Private Client Relationships
For banks, family offices, advisors and professional service firms seeking a more personal way to recognise selected clients or significant milestones.
Guest and VIP Relationships
For hotels, casinos and hospitality organisations that want an important guest experience to remain present after departure or between visits.
Ownership and Handover Moments
For premium automotive, real estate, design and luxury brands seeking to extend the emotional significance of a carefully considered handover.
Partners, Founders and Milestones
For organisations recognising a meaningful partnership, leadership moment, anniversary, transaction or shared achievement.
The relevant question is not, “Who needs a gift?” It is, “Which relationship or moment should still be remembered months later?”
Your role
You recognise the fit. We take responsibility for what follows.
An Introduction Partner is not a sales representative, distributor or reseller.
You are not expected to present pricing, explain technical details, negotiate conditions or manage the project.
Your role is to identify a credible potential fit, share the relevant context with DONUM and — once we have aligned privately — make a personal introduction.
DONUM then leads the commercial and creative process directly.
- No selling required.We provide the language, material and support needed to make the introduction naturally and credibly.
- Your relationship is treated with care.Every introduction is approached as an extension of your reputation. Communication remains selective, relevant and respectful.
- Successful introductions are recognised.When a pre-confirmed introduction results in a paid engagement, it is recognised through a clear referral arrangement agreed privately and in writing.
No public commission structure is required. The relevant terms are confirmed directly before the introduction takes place.
The introduction process
One introduction.
A clearly managed process.
-
01Align in Private
Tell us briefly who you have in mind, your relationship to them and why DONUM may be relevant.
Before any introduction is made, we confirm whether the opportunity fits DONUM, whether the contact is new to our active pipeline and which referral terms apply.
-
02Make the Introduction
You connect both sides through a short personal email, message, call or meeting.
The introduction does not need to contain a complete sales explanation. We will provide a concise formulation whenever helpful.
-
03DONUM Leads the Conversation
We handle discovery, positioning, presentations, the DONUM Presentation Edition where appropriate, concept development, pricing and commercial follow-up.
You are never expected to negotiate or make commitments on our behalf.
-
04We Close the Loop
We keep you appropriately informed about meaningful progress.
If the introduction results in a paid project, the previously agreed referral arrangement is applied transparently after the relevant customer payment has been received.
01Align in Private

You open the right door. DONUM protects the relationship and leads the process.
Quality over quantity
A strong introduction has context.
DONUM is intentionally selective. Ten loosely connected names are less valuable than one thoughtful introduction with a clear reason behind it.
Strong fit
- You know the person or organisation directly.
- The introduction can be made personally and with permission.
- There is access to an owner, founder, senior decision-maker or trusted internal sponsor.
- The organisation serves valuable clients, guests, partners or stakeholders.
- There is a meaningful occasion, relationship objective or recognition moment.
- The recipient group is selective rather than broad or indiscriminate.
- The organisation values relevance, quality and long-term relationships.
Usually not a fit
- Cold contact lists or unverified names.
- Requests for inexpensive promotional merchandise.
- Mass gifting for every customer or employee.
- Public affiliate campaigns, influencer promotion or discount codes.
- Price-first procurement without interest in strategy or context.
- Introductions to contacts already being actively managed by DONUM.
- A request to resell, rebrand or independently represent DONUM.
Our commitment
Your reputation enters the room with us.
A personal introduction carries part of the trust you have built with both sides.
DONUM therefore treats the relationship behind an introduction as carefully as the commercial opportunity itself.
Context before contact
We understand the relationship and the reason for the introduction before approaching the prospective client.
No indiscriminate outreach
An introduction is not treated as permission for unrelated campaigns or repeated mass follow-up.
Respectful communication
We communicate concisely, professionally and without unnecessary pressure.
Clear attribution
The origin of a qualifying introduction is documented before the commercial process begins.
Appropriate visibility
We keep the partner informed at relevant milestones without exposing confidential client information.
No unauthorised promises
Neither DONUM nor the Introduction Partner should promise pricing, delivery dates, exclusivity, customisation or other conditions before they have been formally reviewed.
Confidentiality
Sensitive information about the relationship, organisation, project or intended recipient is handled discreetly and only for the purpose of evaluating and developing the opportunity.
Partner experience
A serious process, without unnecessary work for you.
The purpose of the partnership is not to give you another sales role. It is to make it easy and safe to connect DONUM with the right relationships.
- A personal review of each potential introduction.
- A clear answer on fit before you contact anyone.
- A concise introduction text whenever needed.
- Approved DONUM material that can be shared privately.
- Direct handling of all discovery, product and commercial questions.
- Careful treatment of the relationship and the recipient’s context.
- Appropriate updates when meaningful progress occurs.
- Written confirmation of the applicable referral arrangement.
- Transparent attribution if the introduction becomes a paid engagement.
You remain the trusted connector. DONUM becomes responsible for the opportunity.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
No. Your role is to recognise a potential fit and make a credible personal introduction. DONUM handles the explanation, discovery, concept development, pricing and commercial follow-up.
A qualifying introduction is a direct, identifiable and previously confirmed connection to a relevant person or organisation that is not already being actively managed by DONUM. The exact conditions are confirmed in writing before the introduction is made.
When a pre-confirmed introduction results in a paid engagement, it is recognised according to the referral arrangement agreed privately between DONUM and the Introduction Partner. Payment conditions and the applicable commercial basis are documented separately.
Yes. We provide appropriate updates when the opportunity reaches meaningful stages. Client confidentiality, negotiations and sensitive commercial details remain protected.
The Introduction Partnership is designed for private, contextual introductions rather than public affiliate marketing. Public campaigns, advertisements, social-media promotions, discount codes or broad distribution of materials require prior written approval.
No. Every DONUM project depends on the context, quantity, intended recipients, market requirements and level of development. All commercial and operational commitments are made directly by DONUM.
Yes, provided each introduction is relevant, personal and individually aligned with DONUM beforehand. The model is based on quality and fit, not volume.
An Introduction Partnership does not create authority to represent DONUM, sign agreements, negotiate on its behalf or present yourself as a distributor, employee or official sales representative. Any broader role would require a separate written agreement.
Not necessarily. For selected partners with highly relevant networks, DONUM may arrange a Presentation Edition or a personal introduction to the experience where this supports the collaboration.
Begin with one relationship
Do you know where DONUM may genuinely belong?
Tell us briefly who or what kind of relationship you have in mind.
We will review the context personally, confirm whether there is a credible fit and agree on the next step before any introduction is made.
Every potential partnership is reviewed personally. There is no automated partner approval.
