As your business grows and the quality of your marketing becomes increasingly important to your continued expansion, you will inevitably ask yourself how best to organise your marketing functions. Given that marketing spend is often the second largest variable expense after suppliers, the importance of this question cannot be overestimated. When buying a promotional gift, the first thing to consider is what your business’s major challenge is: Distinguishing yourself from the competition? Extending your brand into other markets? Increasing customers’ lifetime value? Lowering the cost of customer acquisition?
Picking a Promotional Gifts Co out of the Yellow Pages is not advisable.
What should you look for when choosing a company to supply your corporate gifts. Well, much the same considerations as when we choose any company to supply your organisation with goods and services. But here are a few tips to help you make the right decision!
• Make Contact – new business is the lifeblood of any company, and if the speed of response is poor, imagine what it will be like once you’ve placed your order.
• Client List and Testimonials – check the website for testimonials; if there aren’t any it doesn’t mean you won’t get good service, but if they are present it should give you a degree of confidence. The Corporate Gifts Co has lots of testimonials which can be found at the bottom of each website page.
• Track Record – The Corporate Gifts Co has 18 years of experience in supplying promotional products and business gifts.
• Stock – is it held on site? In the UK? If not it could mean problems down the line. The Corporate Gifts Co holds stock on site.
• Branding – Is it done on site or subcontracted? Again sub-contracting such an integral part of the service means the company is not in total control. The Corporate Gifts Co has a dedicated branding department so we control the whole process.
• Accreditation: The Corporate Gifts Co is ISO9001 accredited, has been awarded Investors in People, and are members of BAGDA, Promota, and the Giftware Association. Also check out our CSR policy.
When you use Corporate Gifts to communicate with your customers your brand reputation is on the line. Choose The Corporate Gifts Co to make sure your promotion runs smoothly, on the time and in budget.
