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.)

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.

How to choose the right business gifts supplier

Looking for that perfect business gift for your company or a perfect promotional gift for your corporate event or promotion then look no further we have worked hard to create a small check list on things you should look for when finding that perfect business gift supplier.

When looking for that perfect business gift you need to make sure you have a clear idea of what not only what you want to achieve but also what you want your supplier to have.

A few things you need to be aware of are the following-

1) Stock Range

Do they have a small or limited supply or stock of your business gift which could cause your promotional campaign to not be as successful as it could be if you were to have that gift?

2) Delivery times

Make sue they are reliable and can deliver when they say they will there is nothing worse than having a promotional gift arrive to late for your campaign because they aren’t reliable or trust worthy.

3) Imprinting options

What can they offer? Do they have any teams or anything in house to meet your requirements or do they have to go to another party meaning your promotional campaign is at risk of been late again.

4) Packaging

Although not a key thing for your company to make that special promotional product we still advise it as a strong one which will help your company. Having a decent promotional box for your business gift will insure when people first see it they know its going to be worth opening it.

5) Prices

Look around be sure your company has the best price for your business gift, the last thing you want to do is look at promotional gifts and then find out the company you like charges and extortionate amount of money for them meaning you have to pay over the odds.

All of the above will allow your company to find the best business gifts supplier to help you make that perfect promotional gift for your corporate event or promotion. We have a wide range of promotional items and business gifts which will help your company get seen when it matters.
