It may seem excessive hold corporate events in a castle or a stately home, given that the current economic climate dictates a degree of financial modesty, and that companies do not want to be seen spending money. However, good communication and morale building are more important than ever, and many of the UK and Ireland’s stately homes and castles have great facilities as well as a business – like approach to give your corporate event real impact.
There is a huge variety of homes and castles that provide inspiring surrounding for events, and combine a professional service with excellent facilities and elegant décor. Just be careful of those expenses – definitely no moats! Venues such as Leeds Castle, Rookery Hall, Seiont Manor Hotel and Woodland Park Hotel are just a few examples of the type of that are perfect for this type of high level executive corporate event.
If you are organising an event in a prestigious place, then you need equally prestigious corporate gifts and accessories to complete the picture. The Corporate Gifts Company has a great range of premium incentives worthy of the grandest venues. Our range of premium leather is perfect for this type of event, with items such as the A4 folder, leather pen, overnight bag firm favourites. Sterling silver also sets the right tone; from sterling business cards, to silver photo frames (perfect to present those group or team photos at the end of the event).

A recent survey from Barclaycard, stated that £500million of expenses go unclaimed by business every year. Behind this state of affairs lie a lackadaisal one in three travellers who simply can’t be bothered to fill out their claims. Apparently, the more senior your position, the more lax your attitude. Chairmen fail to claim on average £719 per year compared with PAs who fail claim £25. Women are more vigilant than men £293 slip through their fingers each year compared with £366, and private sectors employees fail to claim £397 compared with their public sector counter parts who fail to claim £199.
Obviously not politicians then!
Although business travel has taken a hit during the recession (prompting the Ryan Air boss to say that business class was dead but – he would say that wouldn’t he?), the corporate travel incentives and business related travel gifts are still integral to the corporate gift market. The Corporate Gifts Company have a comprehensive selection of travel related business gifts.
The leather travel wallet and passport holder are available from our standard leather range and our premium leather range and best sellers. Other leather items perfect for travel incentives are the A4 folders, luggage tags, and journals. Also popular are travel alarm clocks, business card cases and metal luggage tags.
Call the Corporate Gifts Company for more information.

In today’s difficult economy many companies are seeing their traditional revenue streams shrinking. If there is one challenge to the sales promotion industry it is how to reach minority markets, currently estimated at about £400billion. Conventional marketing and promotional methods are not enough to capture those hard – to – reach minority markets This is made up of a range of markets including ethnic minorities, seniors and the LGBT community. A lot of the organisations have been unsure how to respond to these changes, opting instead for a, “one a size fits all,” generic approach.
During the recession, businesses should be investing in marketing strategies that target these diverse, groups through targeted products and messages.
An advantage of the promotional merchandise industry is that it provides the perfect platform for this short of approach to our increasingly diverse, cultural society. Promotional products and services can reach and engage with hard to reach audiences.
In terms of cost, promotional items and corporate gifts, can reduce wastage and maximise efficiency. According to the Office of National Statistics and Brand Choice;
1) Disposal income in the U.K ethnic minority market is access of £90 billion.
2) 18.7% of the U.K population is 65 and over.
3) 8% of the population in the U.K are ethnic communities.
4) 1/3 of businesses are owned and run by members of ethnic minorities.
A number of major brands already communicate well with ethnic groups in the U.K as part as their marketing, and PR strategies, such as Tesco and HSBC. They, have conducted specific very successful campaigns and built brand loyalty and revenue. Niche products tailored to meet specific needs, are also doing well.
In the good times, when budgets are generous and targets are perhaps less important, sales campaigns often are characterised by a scattergun approach – throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping enough of it will stick. Obviously in a recession every marketing pounds or dollar needs to count and promotional items and corporate gifts can prove highly targeted and cost effective; different products can be chosen for each and target market with a range of branding techniques; from jewellery to keyings and flash drives .

The place where so many people spend their working lives should have a “social life.” That sounds like jargon doesn’t it, but it means that people in office should have easy access to one another. Instead of regarding the workplace as the dump where they have to work for eight hours every day, they should see it as the place where they interact with colleagues, in a stimulating and rewarding way. This is the office of the future; the desktop has a key role. Flat computer screen are fast replacing those huge monoliths, so that the surface has more room, and indeed the desk can be smaller. The result is that you are nearer to your closest colleagues. Look around the modern office and you see fewer divisions and partitions, because they represent rigidity and hierarchy. Chance encounters in the corridor or by the drinks machine are more fruitful than organised meetings. So, if colleagues bump into each other and want to talk about marketing or advertising they need to scuttle into a hole. Hence tomorrow’s office should have enough space to have one to one chatting. Décor will have to be high on the agenda too. Shabby conditions depress many office workers and dull their minds but clean discreetly coloured walls are an aid to calm, constructed thoughts. The colours, however, should be natural, so that staff are able to adapt the walls so that they can match their own taste and personalities – with photographs, posters and whatever else you might like to put into your office to feel more comfortable.
Generous use of glass is another means of brightening up the office. The theory is that large windows physically let in more light and psychologically encourage cleaner
Thinking. If there is more glass there should be fewer venetian blinds, which symbolise the opposite of transparency.
Electronic record keeping is so much more efficient and it saves space. Designers say filling can easily be cut by 50% in most offices.
Sick building syndrome needs to be eliminated as this can make people ill. The answer maybe is to insist on water based paints and minimal use of toxic chemicals and also adhesives. Consequently employees stay with a company, they feel better and the staffing difficulties and recruitment costs are reduced.
So a desirable office environment is not too difficult to achieve; de – clutter, take down unnecessary divisions, add some natural colours on the walls and you’re nearly there. And with all of the extra space you should have on the desks, why not co –ordinate some great looking desk items from The Corporate Gifts Co; here are five great example from our website.
1) Lunar post it holder
2) Boomerang letter opener
3) Star desk award paper weight
4) Decision maker pen stand
5) Chrome puzzle globe

We sometimes have to say “no” to work… “Are you mad?” I hear you say, let me explain…
This occasionally happens when a client comes to us with a request for a particular product or branding method that we feel there is a chance of the job not being achieved for a required delivery date or to the client’s expectations.
Because we diamond engrave, emboss and sublimate in-house we have complete control on 95% of our branding needs. This fact inherently eliminates the inevitable issues that potentially arise when using subcontractors, such as miscommunication or delivery failures.
Issues that do arise are always due to extraneous factors such as; a 3rd party branding companies, possible customs delays or uncommunicated, unrealistic expectations. In these instances we take pains to explain everything to the client and actually refuse to take the job, we’d rather not have the work than risk letting the client down when they’ve trusted us, due to factors beyond our control.
This integrity has seen us well in the past, it proves to potential and existing clients that we simply will not take the money and hope for the best.
In the industry we hear horror stories of end users being left out to dry by our some of our nameless competitors. The subsequent detrimental negative stigma that consequently effects the whole industry, make us even more adamant to differentiate ourselves from those sorts of companies by remaining stolid in our business integrity.
Use a company you can trust.
