The benefits that corporate gifts can bring as a marketing tool have been discussed frequently on this blog. As well as rewarding customers and enhancing the company’s brand, they are an important way of spreading the word about a business.
One less talked about use for corporate gifts is in their application as a staff incentive. Corporate gifts can make staff feel valued and that their work is being appreciated which in turn will inspire them to maintain their efforts. In addition to this, corporate gifts can also be given for meeting sales targets, a method that will prove successful in driving industry.
As well as corporate gifts, corporate awards are also proving to be an effective way of maintaining staff motivation. Whether they are used for rewarding high achievers or presenting at an industry awards event, corporate awards can add a touch of Hollywood glamour to a work environment. Corporate awards come in all shapes and sizes, with trophies and plaques that can be made into a variety of bespoke shapes and sizes.
When used for rewarding special achievement, corporate awards can be effective in raising the morale of more people than just the recipient. If staff see their colleagues efforts being openly rewarded, it establishes a positive working atmosphere so people can see that their work does not go unnoticed.
Browse The Corporate Gifts Company range today and see how corporate gifts and corporate awards can help to motivate your team. We also have a sister site at http://www.corporate-awards.net where you can order bespoke corporate awards made to your own specifications.

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.

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.
