It’s the little luxuries that keep us going in the credit crunch, according to the lipstick index, a financial barometer used to gauge consumer confidence. It shows that despite dwindling budgets, women continue to spend on affordable luxuries like lipstick.
Since the credit crunch began, reports have shown that sales of designer lipsticks from prestige brands such as Chanel, Lancôme and Estée Lauder have risen by over 20%. An Estée Lauder spokesman commented: “We’ve learned from the index that lipstick offers an easy pick-me-up at an otherwise dreary time”.
So what does this mean if you’re considering whether to spend your valuable marketing budget on corporate gifts or promotional items. Well, we think that in these economically challenged times, staff and customers will appreciate a well chosen luxury corporate gift with a high perceived value to add a little luxury into what is obviously a challenging work environment.

The best managed companies and organisations will keep staff morale high during the economic downturn by capturing hearts and minds. There are seven core actions that will help companies achieve this motivation nirvana:
• Communicate Direction – provide clarity of strategy – use good communication to make sure your staff know where they’re going and give them the confidence that the leadership in the company are in place.
• Instil trust and confidence in your most committed and focused employees – who will also provide confidence for other employees.
• Address core concerns – communicate to each individual what’s expected of them, how they should behave and what they need to achieve.
• Put staff in positions suited to their particular skills and ambitions – give them time and support to succeed.
• Act quickly – inactivity creates a vacuum, leaving your staff worried and unfortunately free to draw their own (often incorrect) conclusions.
• Keep investing in R&D – innovation is even more important now in the credit crunch than ever before.
• Reward positive behaviour – it’s important that when staff perform and are adding value to the organisation that this is recognised and communicated throughout the company. This will reinforce good practice and motivate other staff.
Introduce a reward or motivation scheme, or recognise staff with individual awards.
The Corporate Gifts Co can supply single engraved items, awards and plaques for recognition or general promotional gifts for schemes or programmes.

If you want your corporate event to be the talk of the town, here are five tips to make your event truly memorable.
1. Create an atmosphere to “wow” your guests make them feel that they are part of something special. To create a spellbinding room which will draw them in, use fabrics, textures, flowers, smells of delicious food, and most importantly, great lighting.
2. The quality of your invitation will tell the recipient all they need to know about the effort being put into the event. Use the best paper and smart, creative design to ensure that your corporate event is the one they don’t want to miss! Consider using the Corporate Gifts Co’s unique Aluminium post card for the invitation. This can be posted like any normal postcard complete with individual printed addresses.
3. The host of the party, should be at the entrance when the party starts welcoming guests warmly, connecting them with other people, and making them feel special.
4. Make sure the food and wines are the best you can afford-complicated enough to impress, but not so fussy as to be unrecognisable. Really think the food through for example one bite canapés avoid mess, barbeque food should be skewered for a stand-up event, and sit-down food needs to be kept light and pretty.
5. Keep the event “high impact” and leave them wanting more. Don’t drag it out until the bar runs dry. Welcome them in, feed, relax, and entertain them and then say goodbye while they are still begging you not to switch off the music.
And now, here are The Corporate Gift Company’s top 5 promotional event products:
1. The 3 in 1 Bar Tool, it is indispensable to uncork a good wine bottle. Guaranteed effect!
2. The Napkin Ring set of 4. Elegant and stylish silver plated, it’s an easy way to dress a beautiful table.
3. The Cocktail Shaker. It is essential to impress your guests with very delicious cocktails.
4. The Sterling Silver Photoframe; a great item – you can put it on a buffet and your guests can see it during your corporate event.
5. The Awards. Thanks to this product you can animate your corporate event and create a good atmosphere.

The credit crunch and high-street crisis mean companies and marketing executives are less likely to take a risk on their budgets.
There are lots of methods to measure how successful a promotion has been. In the current financial climate, one of the key ways is that it has come in on budget.
Historically, we’ve seen that when budgets are pushed, a greater proportion of budget is put into sales promotion as it’s more measurable than above-the-line.
At the Corporate Gifts Co, we have 18 years of experience in getting your promotional products and premium incentives to you on time and in budget.
So how do we ensure that The Corporate Gift Co delivers on our (and your) promise:
1. We will give you a transparent quotation without any hidden extras.

We can see increasingly every day, companies and organisations are more and more concerned about the environmental impact of all their activities and buying decisions.
At the Corporate Gifts Co we have seen the demand for awards and trophies with a recycled or renewable eco content grow.
Sometimes it is not possible to have a totally eco-friendly solution – and this is true for mainstream eco products too. The amount of recycled and eco friendly materiel incorporated into each award is limited by the design and budget available, but The Corporate Gifts Co can work to individually tailor each client’s specifications.
In the present economic climate, companies and organisations are keener than ever to recognise excellence in the workplace, but in ways that are more about personal recognition than monetary bonuses or pay increases.
Because of the recession staff are often working harder and often longer hours than ever and in many cases it’s not economically viable now to recompense them fully financially. However an award is cost effective and has an intrinsic value far greater than any cash payment, as it makes an open public statement of a person’s real worth to a company”.
The Corporate Gifts Co have launched a new range of eco-friendly state awards. State is a 100 million year old natural material, mined in the UK, and worked by local craftsmen. We have a range of standard designs that can be customised with metal plates in various shapes and finishes incorporating your corporate logo or promotional message.
The Q design is great for quality awards.
The Tick and Star are fantastic recognition awards.
The Cube Puzzle Paperweight is original and unique and perfect if you are looking for something a little different.
You can find all awards and trophies worthy of the largest ceremonies on our website http://www.corporate-gifts-co.com/
Call our sales team today on 0845 430 2902 to see how the Corporate-gifts-co can add value to your awards.

From 2010, women in the UK will see their pensionable age rise from 60 year on year until they reach their male counterparts at 65. And with talk of raising the pension age to 70 to help pay for thr country’s dire financial predicament our perceptions of when and how we will retire are challenged now like never before.
So is this a good or bad thing? Well I guess that depends on whether you want to retire or would prefer to continue working – and there seems plenty of people that fall into both categories. At the moment employers can legally force a worker to retire at pensionable age whether they want to stop working or not. Surely a more flexible system should be employed to ensure those that want to work can, and those that want to retire can do so at an appropriate age.
Experience and years of service can be incredibly useful to any company or organisation and in today’s fast moving celebrity culture, the value of a steady and experienced hand is too often highly undervalued.
Staff who retire after giving years of service should be recognised and rewarded when it’s time for them to retire. This sends a positive message to the workforce that hard work and loyalty are valued and recognised in your organisation.
Our sister website www.engravedgiftideas.com specialises in individually engraved quality silver plated and sterling silver gifts perfect for retirement presents. With fast and reliable turnaround, a free personalised gift tag, and free P&P, the website is packed with great ideas and gifts.
But it’s not just retirement presents that can reinforce this message and build loyalty; long service gifts and long service schemes are also fantastic motivational tools in the workplace.
Simple and cost effective lapel pins or cufflinks are a great visable method of recognising long service. Celebrate 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 years service with a graded corporate gift scheme incorporating gifts such as clocks and sterling silver. And for that finishing touch add personalised engraving and gift packaging.
Call our sales team today on 0845 430 2902 to find out how we can help you achieve your corporate long service scheme.

There’s so much misinformation and misunderstanding about what makes a product green or eco friendly that when sourcing promotional products that need to be ecologically sound, you need to take a step back and really consider what you’re being told.
