About the Author

Dom LeRoux

Dom LeRoux is an International Impact Book Award Winning Author, e-commerce strategist, and keynote speaker specializing in incentive-driven growth.

For over a decade, Dom has helped brands attract, engage, upsell, and retain customers using strategic digital incentives designed to increase acquisition and lifetime value.

The question behind The Corporate Gifting Playbook was simple:

If incentives work so effectively online, why aren’t businesses applying the same psychology to physical corporate gifting?

To test the theory, Dom conducted a year-long, real-world experiment gifting premium Lucky Penny Candles to businesses across North America. The results proved that intentional gifting can open doors, accelerate conversations, increase upsells, and deepen long-term retention.

The book earned the International Impact Book Award® in the Business of Marketing and Branding Excellence category for redefining corporate gifting as a measurable growth strategy rather than a budget expense.
