In these very uncertain times, there is still one thing we know for certain; Christmas will be here again on the 25th December! And whilst this has certainly not been a year to write home about, there will be still many companies sending (and receiving) corporate gifts this yuletide. The promotions market is, of course, much more sophisticated than a hamper or bottle of Bells at Christmas, nevertheless, Christmas is still the busiest time of the year with last minute decisions and turnarounds at break-neck speed.
Companies still want to recognise customers and staff at the end of the year by showing their appreciation and loyalty for the past and ushering in hope of prosperity in the New Year. Business gifts at Christmas are also a favourite for winning new customers too.
If chosen carefully, a desirable and appropriate promotional item branded with your logo will stay in the mind and on the desk long into the New Year.
The Corporate Gifts Company specialise in silver plated and leather items perfect for yuletide marketing and sales promotion. Our stock is held on site and carried out in –house so that we can achieve those impossible turn around times needed in the run up to the big day.
Be careful not to buy a cheap “stocking filler” promo give-away that will be discarded with the junk mail (so often a false economy that rarely delivers the desired results) but choose a truly memorable and desirable silver plated or leather gift. We offer some fantastic packaging options to compliment our gift box available as standard. All you need to do now is choose. Here are our ten top selling Christmas executive incentives (in no particular order.)

What to do when your Marketing Budget is cut.

 Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

In these challenging times when the credit crunch is biting and marketing budgets are being slashed, how can companies get the biggest bang for their promotional buck?

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that when times are tight, marketing spend goes upmarket. Sounds contradictory doesn’t it? But the reason is quite simple; when marketing departments are awash with budgets and feeling bullish about activity (sorry about the stock market reference, a bit insensitive), they happily sign off on big spend projects with lots of items aimed at the widest possible audience i.e. low value high volume promotions.

As now, when you have to make every penny count, promotional activity becomes more targeted. More effort is spent getting the promotional message to the right person in the right organisation. This significantly narrows down the audience and despite the smaller budget, hey presto, you’ve got more to spend on each recipient. You know these guys are key decision makers so you have to make the right impression, so the plastic pen you did last year to everyone on your database simply won’t do!

A move upmarket is inevitable, and that’s where the Corporate Gift Company can help.

There are three traditional product areas that compete in the premium incentive sector; sterling silver and silver plate, leather, and crystal.

Solid Sterling Silver has made a real comeback in recent times, British made, ethically sourced, recyclable, and unmistakable quality. See the Corporate Gifts Company’s range at;

Good quality Leather reeks of quality – literally, and the Corporate Gifts Co has a great collection of standard gifts in presentation gift boxes, all can be embossed with your corporate logo for maximum impact.

Why Packaging is Essential to a Successful Promotion

 Monday, October 27th, 2008

You only get one chance to make a first impression, and that is just as true for promotional gifts as it is for people. The impression and impact created when your recipient first receives the gift will stay with them long after the item itself is discarded. Obviously the product itself is vitally important, but the packaging can make or break the effect and impact of your promotion.

Don’t we all just love unwrapping presents – whether you take your time and “unpeel” your wrapping, or whether you’re a bit of an animal and tear it off, the anticipation and “wow-factor” created by a well presented gift announcing that there’s something special inside, will give your promotion a greater chance of hitting the mark.

Of course, we are now in the run up to Christmas, and isn’t Christmas all about gifts; both giving and receiving? And this is no different in the corporate world. Promotional activity quadruples during the run up to Christmas and incentives and business gifts become even more like presents under the tree. It is important, therefore, to get your packaging right and that you check exactly what the recipients of your promotion will think when they get their gift.

When sourcing you premium incentive this yuletide, think; without considering what’s inside the box, what will my customers/staff make of this box. If you’re spending valuable promotions budget and the packaging is letting you down, then you need an upgrade.

Here at the Corporate Gift Company we can offer packaging upgrades to reflect the season and create the most appropriate presentation for your premiums this yuletide.
See http://www.corporate-gifts-co.com/acatalog/bespoke_options.html

Ribbon; a beautifully tied ribbon to finish off your promotional gift is the perfect way of communicating to your staff or customers that you really value them.
