It doesn’t matter whether you’re a large corporation or a small ‘mom and pop’ business, there is nothing quite like giving and receiving gifts as a gesture of appreciation. Often, business owners can take for granted how loyal their customer base is, and forget to go above and beyond when it matters the most. Have you thought that maybe corporate gifts could show your clients how much you appreciate them?
Confectionery
One of the best corporate gifts that money can buy is confectionery. It’s something that no one will ever say no to, and one you can spend a little or a lot on – depending on how valuable your client is. For example, if they have a small monthly spend,you can treat them to a small personalised sweet jar of branded candy. If they spend thousands of dollars and are one of your most valuable, you can stretch to full hampers that are worth a significant amount more. Any client with a sweet tooth is sure to appreciate the gesture.
Office Stationery
Office stationery is always going to be a thoughtful gift for both your colleagues and your clients because it’s the one thing that seems to go missing the most. Everyone in any given workday needs to use a pen – whether it’s to jot down a reminder or fill out a form, but they always seem to be elusive.
If you purchase pen gift sets, every member of your team and your most valued clients will have branded stationery that they will cherish and (hopefully) try not to lose!
Glassware
When the festive season rolls around, it can always be challenging to think of gifts to give to your most valued clients. You don’t want to go overboard and spend too much, but you also want to make sure it’s in good taste and reflects the value of the customer.
It can be easy to overlook the everyday nature of simple glassware – items which are used daily both at home and in the office. You can fill this gap by offering both colleagues and clients glassware emblazoned with your branding.
Reusable Coffee Cups
Every year, around half a trillion single-use coffee cups end up in trash piles and landfill throughout the world. Even if your company isn’t the eco-friendliest of them all, you can offer the illusion that it is for a better public image by treating everyone to reusable coffee cups. These cups are suitable as gifts for small to medium customers as well as colleagues. You can also include them as a side gift for your most loyal clientele as well.
Travel Wallets
Many corporations spend a significant amount of money on travel every year, with some staff members on an airplane more often than not. Catering to these clients is easier than you think. Why not give them a travel wallet? A travel wallet is a must-have item for any business person who continually has their hands full with passports, other identification, money, and business paperwork. A travel wallet featuring your branding can also offer global brand recognition while making the life of your client so much more comfortable at the same time.
It can be a balancing act to think of gifts for your clients and colleagues that reflect their value to your organization. If you’re struggling for ideas – be it for a festive occasion or a special treat, these above may be of some use. Remember, you need to strike a healthy balance between the monetary value and what your clients and colleagues mean to you.
