The Crème de la Crème of Corporate Gifts

Corporategift giving is serious business. As part of a well-considered program, it can help establish or enhance critical relationships and become a cost-effective means of recognizing activities that benefit the business. It is dismal to know how much money and energy is wasted on gifts that go unnoticed, unused, or are simply discarded altogether.

What a lot of corporate managers fail to grasp is that greeting cards are nothing more than marketing campaigns disguised in brightly colored envelopes and glitter. It allows you to stay on top of the client’s mind in a positive way. It shows your appreciation for them, and allows you to connect on a personal level by showing that you know what they’re passionate about.

Here are some of the main categories in Corporate Gifting:

1)    Personal:   This is the kind of gift that you would give to clients that you know on a personal basis. This could also be the gift for clients that you would like to improve relations with. You would need to know some level of basic personal interests and gift an item that would help them live out their passion.

2)    Inspirational:   a work of art, framed posters or mugs with motivational quotes, something that would help your client do better at work. Books are a thoughtful way to show your coworkers, boss, or customers that you care.

3)    Useful:  The ultimate advantage in any business is art of getting to know people. Connect well and find out what your clients passions are. For tech-savvy clients, you could gift whimsical USB drives, phone covers etc. For the quintessential music lover you could always go with a pair of earphones. There are inexpensive gifts like handcrafted, personalized bottle openers, mug holders, phone stands etc.

4)    Local /Regional:  Often we are faced with situations where the client is visiting your city, state or country for the first time. In such cases, a gift that’s unique from your locality or a memorabilia from their visit would make for ideal gifts. Often corporate managers gift sweets or local bonne bouche which is appreciated but is momentary. Sweets would, however, act as great add-ons to your actual present.
