How to Choose Year End Gifts

Very often people are unsure of what to give out for year-end gifts. Especially if it is either the first time that the gifts are being handed out or if so many gifts have been handed out that you are now at a loss of what to give as year end gifts. A good starting point is to ask yourself some questions. 1. Are the majority of your clients men or women? Some companies chose to have our unisex corporate gifts, however to get the true benefit of the corporate gifts it is a wonderful to have a more personal approach. So for example if you are handing our conference bags, why not hand out a ladies laptop bag as a conference bag for the ladies and a unisex conference bag for the men. 2. What is the lifelong value of the client receiving the corporate gift? If this corporate gift is an appreciation gift for the business that the client has given you over the years, then consider carefully what you want to give as a corporate gift. The gift needs to have longevity, so that it can be used frequently and each time the corporate gift is used, your company will be remembered. 3. Are there any budget constraints for your corporate gifts? Instead of giving out a lot of cheap gifts, rather segment your clients and hand out gifts only to the top 25 or 50 clients depending on what you are able to afford. It is better to hand out quality gifts to the few that are the most loyal to your company than to not hand out corporate gifts at all.

King Woodbridge, president of Dictaphone Corporation. They served on a council addressing a national shortage of skilled office workers. The account executives at Young & Rubicam originated the idea for a National Secretaries Week. The official period of celebration was first proclaimed by US Secretary of Commerce of Charles Sawyer as "National Secretaries Week," which was held June 1–7 in 1952, with Wednesday, June 4, 1952 and designated as National Secretaries Day. The first Secretaries Day was sponsored by theNational Secretaries Association with the support of corporate groups. In 1955, the observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job titles of administrative support staff. IAAP created National Secretaries Week (now Administrative Professionals Week) with two objectives in mind: to recognize "the secretary, upon whose skills, loyalty, and efficiency the functions of business and government offices depend," and to call attention "through favorable publicity, to the tremendous potential of the secretarial career."

Great Men's Gifts

This woman’s day, I am pondering on what it means to be a woman in business. While many women struggle with issues of whether men earn more than women or what is perceived to be glass ceilings, I realise that what we focus on is what our hearts will become full of. So on this day I choose to focus on areas where we can make a difference. Relationships are definitely one of those areas. In my life the relationship between me and my children is a natural relationship that maternally makes is a lasting bond. However a relationship with my husband is one of choice and so by choice it is improved or deteriorated. I also know that if I choose to focus on inequality of women, then I will be overlooking the many wonderful things that my husband does to improve my life and to give me the wings to fly and reach my full potential. So for this newsletter, I am going to focus on some of the gifting ideas that I know that he likes. LED Braai Light No matter where we go somehow my husband ends up helping with the braai. The position of the braai in some cases does not have the best lighting, so the LED Braai light is a nifty little light. It has magnetic feet to secure it into position. Or you can use the clamp to secure it. The flexible tube which is connected to the hone shape head with LED lights helps to move the lamp into position. This a a fresh and new men's corporate gift. 18 Piece Braai Set This great corporate gift has everything that you can think of as a braai set. We love that it comes in a nifty carry case. It even has skewers for mielies, so that you don’t have to burn your finger as you bite into their delicious buttery flavour. Portable Boot Organiser When it comes to business my husband like to know that everything has a place and wants to be able to find things easily, so the portable boot organiser helps to keep his business support material in order so that he does not have to waste time looking for things. Tool Bag with Tubular Handle My husband is definitely a DIY man and he does a very good job. But spending time looking for the right tool is a dreadful waste of time, when you want to get the job done right, so this tool bag is a way for keeping the most regularly used tool is a convenient quick to find place. This is a real DIY Man's corporate gift. For more information about corporate gifts, visit us on www.belleregalo.co.za or e-mail us infor@belleregalo.co.za
