How to Pick the Right Corporate Gifts for Clients

Before you pick a gift for your client or customer, keep the following points in mind:

1. Know the client

Do not make the common mistake of just picking gifts randomly when it comes to your clients. Never assume that what appeals to you will appeal to other people, and therefore, before picking a gift for a client, make sure that you know and understand their preferences. If you don’t know what to pick, then it doesn’t do you any harm to call your client and have a conversation that is off the usual business calls and try to understand what they would want as a token of appreciation from you.

2. Ensure the message is understood

Although corporate gifts to clients are used to show appreciation for successful business relationships and the hope for future corporations, many times that the message may not be clear to the recipient. Remember that your gift represents what you stand for and your corporate ideals. Make sure the gift conveys your business ideals. The gift should be viewed as an extension of your corporate norms, ideals, and practices.

3. Customize and personalize the gift whenever possible

You should never underestimate the importance of a personalized gift. No client is the same as another, therefore, every gift should be unique to the respective client or customer. Whenever possible, corporate gifts to clients should be personalized to suit the recipient. Engraving the client’s name or a message on the gift ensures that the gift will not be easily forgotten and that your company will remain on the client’s mind.

4. Your gift should be useful

Useful corporate gifts are the best when it comes to showing appreciation to your clients and customers. You should think like a gift recipient when picking the gift. Apart from being something that will last long, it should be helpful in the daily routine of the recipient. Imagine a customized pen, it will keep your company on the client’s mind since they will see and use the pen often.

5. Mind about the quality

Corporate gifts to clients should of the best possible quality. Remember that the gift will be a representation of your company in the eyes of the client. You don’t want the recipient to think of you as cheap. Quality gifts take a prominent part in the recipient’s life whereas those deemed to be cheap and of poor quality will be discarded and forgotten. Nobody wants their gift to be thrown away as soon as it is received, and to avoid that, you should never compromise on the quality.

6. Mind the packaging and delivery

Packaging and delivery of corporate gifts should also be considered equally as important as the gifts. That is because the opening of a gift delivered is a defining moment for the recipient. Everyone wants to unbox a well-packaged and delivered gift. Remember that an exquisitely packaged and deliver moderate gift can have a greater impression on the recipient than an expensive gift poorly packaged and delivered.
