Corporate Gifts for the Whole Year

It amazes me how many creative ways there are for giving corporate gifts.

We tend to think that year end gifts are the only strategy for corporate gifts. However during the year we see a number of opportunities. Some clients do not send out year end gifts, they send out gifts at the beginning of the year, when everyone if thinking about planning the year. You could use desk based gifts like, coffee mugs, desk based coffee machines, desk fans, desk planners, pens, note pad and stationary sets. February usually bring conferences. Consider sponsoring your client’s conference. This produces brand loyalty and also gives your brand visibility that you may not have had before. Great conference gifts include, banners, branded notepads, branded water, business card holders, conference bags, folders, mints, pens. Valentine’s Day is a way to spread good feelings around both your clients and staff by the giving of small corporate and promotional gifts. You don’t have to just stick to just chocolates, which logistically are difficult to hand out as they melt. You can use any red items like, caps, pens, picnic blankets, stress balls, T-shirts, water bottles. Arbour day is a great month to link in with growth. Sending your clients Arbour day gifts, show that you value relationships. That you value growth and you want to grow with them. Corporate gifts that work well with arbour day are bonsai trees, gardening sets, knee boards, picnic sets (because we picnic in gardens) and of course plants. In September there are so many opportunities for spring day corporate gifts, braai day promotional gifts, secretary’s day corporate gifts. In October we create awareness for breast cancer and then it is time to think pink. You can give out corporate gifts like pink T-shirts, pink pens, pink draw string bags, pink notepads, pink IPad covers, and pink water bottles. In December we kick off with World Aids Day. Aids is a life style spread disease and so awareness in this area is critical. A world Aids Day strategy is a terrific way to show both clients and staff that you care. Then you can end off the year with your traditional corporate gifting strategy. Great gifts for December include anything that can be enjoyed on holiday such as, braai sets, cooler boxes, garden chairs, hampers, picnic blankets braai lights, picnic sets, water bottles, wine sets .

Not just another braai gift

Last week I went to visit a former business partner and the encounter sent me back to my studying years. Our lecturer was giving away a well published marketing book for anyone who could remember the ways to improve product sales. But sheer luck I just happened to remember them that day. One of the methods was to find other uses for the same product. Which brings me back to my encounter with my former partner? I had taken him a copy of our latest corporate gifting catalogue, along with a sample of my current favourite corporate gift, the LED braai light. The LED braai light is a great corporate gift for national braai day, but also is a prefect gent’s gift as a corporate gift. These corporate gifting categories are fairly obvious to me. However this gent is currently studying and when I demoed the gift and showed him how the clamp works, he said “Although I have been to a lot of braais, I almost never braai myself, but I do complete my assignments outside on my balcony and the light does not quite reach the keyboard. I don’t like to keep the main light on as I often study after hours and don’t want to disturb the neighbours. This light can allow me to clamp it to my desk and help me with my assignments.” I was amazed. That particular application never occurred to me. I then realised that this LED light could be used as a number of corporate gift applications. It can be used as a camping light, or an emergency light that can be left in your car. I remembered that recently my husband was doing a repair on the car at night and because of bad visibility, I had to stand outside holding a lamp for him and this light would have been ideal. That is the great thing about sharing ideas that you get to learn from each other. Not just about applications for corporate gifts, but how to share experiences to make life better. So when you are thinking of corporate gifts, try to think out of the box. The LED braai light could well be your saving grace when there are power failures, when you are camping or yes, even when you are braaiing.
