As the world begins to emerge from one of the longest recessions in history, there was cause for optimism amongst British companies with the news that confidence and output in the UK is at its highest for four years, according to a survey by accountants BDO.
A return to pre-recession levels is definitely a cause for optimism, and as companies continue to recover and grow there has never been a better time for businesses to reinforce their brand, announcing their presence in a brave new world for business.
One way to do this is by using Personalised Corporate Gifts embossed with a company logo, showing your rivals and your clients the continued strength of your brand. These gifts can be used as a thank you to clients for their business during the downturn, or for employees to reward their hard work in maintaining your Company’s position in the market.
The effects of these gifts can be huge. With clients unsure over which companies have survived the downturn, a branded corporate gift such as the Orbital Spinning Clock, is a great way to remind them of the continued strength of your Company.
When used as an employee reward, a Corporate Gift is also a great way to raise morale in a team that may have been hit by cutbacks during the recession. Awards such as the Star Trophy Award can be used to reward employees who have exceeded their targets, providing a fantastic reward and also an incentive for the rest of the team.
The Corporate Gifts Company carries a huge range of other Corporate Gifts that any Company can use to celebrate a more optimistic 2010.

Barclays Financial Planning recently ran a poll of SME’s asking what kind of benefits they offered their employees and what they felt actually motivated staff. The received wisdom about motivating staff is what they really want is anything but mere cash; pension, recognition, bonuses, team building, extra holidays, commission, team days out. The survey, however, found that employees long for wealth with 40% of employers said they felt their staff valued higher salaries over benefits.
The ability of companies to feed this desire for higher and higher salaries in this painful economic downturn, however, is severely hampered. Perhaps also, employees will find that this new world order will dictate that they think less of the here and now, and begin to plan for the future.
So as the effects of the credit crunch take hold and won’t let go, companies need to think of ways to reward and recognise staff without the easy option of a pay rise. Corporate Gifts can play a key role as part of more considered motivational packages.
Recognition is an extremely powerful tool to reward and promote constructive behaviour. The Corporate Gifts Co has almost 20 years of experience in providing effective recognition solutions.
Our best sellers are undoubtedly our Star Trophy and Star Award which can be used together as tiered awards and they looked fantastic diamond engraved with a corporate logo and individual names.
Plaques are probably the most traditional method of recognition in the workplace and The Corporate Gifts Co have a superb range of standard and bespoke plaques to suit all tastes and budgets.
And if your budget can run to our fantastic range of awards you can be assured your staff will really appreciate and value the recognition.
Businesses need to make sure they are properly rewarding their staff. Getting it wrong could mean losing out on talented and invaluable staff. Call our expert sales team today on 0800 942 9202 to see how The Corporate Gifts Company can help your company recognise and reward your staff with cost effective awards and corporate gifts.

We often get companies asking us for bespoke products, awards, keyrings, jewellery, bottle stoppers and just about anything you can imagine! Our normal process is to get our graphics department to design a mock-up based on the logo & brief, we then get a quote based on mock-up.
Below are some examples of our recent concepts.
If you have a requirement for bespoke products then give us a go, we can normally get a design to you within 1 hour.

When the Corporate Gifts Company started in business almost 20 years ago, all our promotional items and corporate gifts were either made by us, or other UK manufacturers. As with a lot of industries, we found we couldn’t compete with Far Eastern imports and reluctantly hung up our manufacturing boots, so to speak, and joined the masses importing from the Far East. We ensured we only worked with quality suppliers and the range of our products grew and grew.
With recent “reversals” in currency exchange rates (from an importers’ perspective of course) and soaring costs out of the Far East, suddenly “Made in the UK” is now less of rose tinted view of past times and more of a reality.
We at the Corporate Gift Company are only too happy to grab the opportunity of manufacturing again in the UK, and we are currently working on lots of new ideas to launch in the new year. There are lots of benefits that will directly effect the service and product we can offer.
1. Made in the UK means a vastly reduced carbon footprint – no shipping a promotional product from one side of the world to another.
2. Although we always strive to work only with ethical suppliers (as you can see from our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, manufacturing ourselves or with well known UK companies means that ethical issues are even more assured.
3. Faster turn around times. Obviously when we have an item in stock our turnaround times for plain or branded promotional items are second to none. But the time for replenishing stock from the Far East is becoming longer and longer. Items made in the UK will be faster.
4. Bespoke Items (awards, trophies, plaques, corporate jewellery) will become even more flexible with more options and faster turnarounds.
So, watch this space. There’ll be loads of new and exciting product launched on the website in January.
