Everyone wants a unique gift idea. When it comes to corporations and businesses, gifts must not only be unique, they must also be appropriate and formal. There are many reasons for corporate and business gifts. In the workplace, you can give gifts to express gratitude, as encouragement, or to congratulate someone. Gifts in these circumstances should not be too extravagant or expensive. An ideal budget for workplace gifts would be around $150.
If you want to give business gifts, there are a few things to keep in mind. The gift should be something where your company logo can be inscribed. It should be formal and of the best quality, as it reflects the status of your company. If you are going to give gifts to some people, you can select different gifts for men and women.
Business gifts that are appropriate can be listed in these categories:
- flowers
- food
- liquor and wine
- Gifts inscribed with the company logo.
- travel accessories
- desk accessories
- entertainment tickets
- electronic gifts
Unique gift ideas for corporations and businesses are baskets of dried fruit, boxes of chocolates, a box of good quality cigars, a calendar with a notepad, a set of pens from a well-known brand, a Swiss Army knife, cufflinks or a table clock. You can engrave your company logo on gifts such as shirts and T-shirts, paperweights, silver card holders, leather gifts such as wallets or bags. Other business gift ideas include bottles of fine wine, flower bouquets, and folding photo frames. Alternatively, you can also put together a gift basket containing one item from all the gifts you plan to give.
Giving gifts is a great way to promote your business and maintain good relationships with clients and co-workers. For retirement or other occasions, giving a nice and thoughtful gift goes a long way to making an employee feel valued. Freebies from customers are good for brand promotion and go a long way in building goodwill for the company. It is also an important way to advertise your business.
You don’t have to wait for a formal occasion to send a gift to a client. For example, if you know a customer who sent you a referral, you could thank that particular person by sending them a fruit basket or a bouquet of flowers.
Many companies now have policies regarding the giving of gifts. Make sure you know your company’s policies. Also make it your business to be aware of other companies’ gift-giving and acceptance policies. Many times you could send a corporate gift to someone from another company who they might feel is inappropriate.
Once you consider all the possible dangers of gift-giving, you can focus on coming up with a unique gift idea that properly represents your company and its values.
