Corporate Gifts and Employee Recognition Gifts

Giving the right corporate gifts is essential to maintaining solid business relationships. Corporate Gifts aren't just for holidays. In fact, it makes a stronger impression to surprise a client with a token of your appreciation separate from any standard gift-giving occasion. Employee Recognition gifts are equally important to continued success. You'll find that employee loyalty is greater in offices where employees are recognized and rewarded for a job well done. Let's get started on building your business with custom Corporate Gifts! Ready to become an expert gift-giver? Try the following tips:

For your top clients, budget about 1-2% of the profit you've made from their account.

If you're on a tight budget, be creative! Find a unique and inexpensive gift, like the Icon Stix and Stonz Magnet Game, and combine it with a card signed by everyone in the office.

Personalize corporate gifts whenever feasible. If you know a client loves golf, try monogrammed golf club covers or golf gloves; non-work related items will let them know that you pay attention to their interests and they'lll think positively of you when they're out of the office.

Brand-name gifts speak volumes. Items from Cutter and Buck or High Sierra are guaranteed to make a favorable impression.

Seek out extraordinary examples of ordinary items, like a Karim Rashid Compu-Backpack .

Give gifts that they'lll enjoy using again and again. A personalized coffee press, a cheese cutting board, or an MP3 player lets employees know that you value their efforts and respect their need to relax outside of the office.

Avoid gifts with political, religious, or sexual undertones. This goes for clients and employees alike! It is also advisable to steer away from gag gifts, as they will almost always be perceived as cheap and thoughtless.

People love to receive small luxury items that they wouldn't normally purchase for themselves. Our debossed leather business card cases or the Laguiole Steak Knife Set are perfect tokens of appreciation for anyone on your gift list!

Don't forget the finishing touches: a gift bag custom imprinted with your logo and tied with a gold or silver ribbon.

If you're giving marketing gifts to potential customers, desktop items will serve as a functional reminder of your brand. Try a valet or custom pen cup.

For clients that you can't hand-deliver gifts to, consider a boxed pen set. You'll save on postage and you won't have to worry about it breaking during shipment.

By putting a bit of thought into it, you can ensure that your clients and employees will delight in your corporate gifts for years to come. Stand ahead of your competition with distinctive promotional gifts from InkHead Promotional Products.
