Christmas is the perfect time to reward those who have helped you achieve your targets throughout the year. Express your gratitude and say ‘thank you’ to your valued clients and hardworking staff. Don’t miss out on this great seasonal promotional opportunity – read on for some fantastic gift ideas that will steer you away from a boring pair of socks!
Don’t you just hate Christmas shopping? There is so much to think about and not enough time. Why don’t you let us do it for you? Amongst our range of products, large enough to give John Lewis a run for their money, I am sure you will find something to suit every budget that is guaranteed to make a lasting impression.
Whether shopping for clients or staff, Christmas corporate gifts need to be carefully considered to guarantee they achieve the maximum possible benefit.
Printed Christmas gifts for your favourite clients may cultivate new business as well as advertising your company. A desk item, for instance, provides a constant reminder to your customers of your company, with your contact details close to hand. The most successful promotional gift ideas are well thought out in advance as part of a bigger plan to expand your business.
With financial cut backs in place, printed corporate gifts can be used as an effective way of showing staff that their efforts and achievements are being noticed. Using corporate gifts as an incentive or staff reward can act as a focus for their efforts.
Read on for some fantastic gift ideas…
USB flash drives:
USB flash drives are a very powerful and memorable item in the promotional gifts marketplace today. Why not pre-load your 2011 catalogue or marketing campaign onto the USB for your clients, providing them with quick and easy access? Or upload your staff Christmas party images onto the flash drive and give them out as gifts?
Personalised gifts:
A truly unique corporate gift will ensure you stand out from your competitors. The easiest way to do this is to make the gift personal, include the recipient’s name. Personalised Christmas gifts appear more meaningful and show that the individual’s efforts have been recognised, increasing morale. People are far more likely to ensure items with their own names on don’t end up on someone else’s desk!
Wine and Chocolates:
While a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine is tradition, they are still very popular as gifts. Who can resist a bottle of vino and a box of chocolates? I for one cannot! If you are sending out wine, chocolates, or both, why not brand them? It’s a shame to miss another opportunity to get your brand noticed!
Christmas themed gifts:
Why not get into the festive spirit and send out Christmas themed gifts? A Christmas cracker with an invitation, or a bauble with your logo on? In the Shout office, we’re huge fans of the mini desk Christmas trees and we’re sure your clients and staff will love them too.
Desk items:
A corporate gift, although given at Christmas, has the opportunity to promote your company far beyond the festive season if it becomes used every day by the recipient. When selecting a gift ensure it is useful – desk items are ideal for this. A soft skin notebook embossed with your logo makes a lovely gift. Even a pen, or mousemat are used on a regular basis.
High end gifts:
If you are really setting out to impress your best clients or valued staff members this Christmas then why not consider a highly perceived Cross or Parker pen? They come presented in a gift box and have a lifetime mechanical guarantee.
