Undoubtedly, when we hear the word gift, the most festive, the most glamorous and at the same time the most consumerist holiday of the year comes to mind.
The Christmas gifts are an integral part of this season which, by the way, is just around the corner.
This custom is rapidly expanding into the workplace with millions of gifts being offered to employees and partners every year.
So what are the elements to consider in order to create a unique and complete experience for our recipients.
Here’s the list of 6+1 points to look out for when it comes to business gifts for the upcoming Christmas:
Preparation
The process is usually outsourced to a company that deals with the corporate gift sector.
This certainly does not take away from the person responsible the minimal but necessary effort of preparation in order to make the project a success.
Collecting emails, phone numbers and addresses is a process that needs to be done and done early so that there is time for the creative part of choosing the gift and the products that make up the gift!
Timely dispatch of parcels
The Christmas period, as we said above, is the time of year when the market experiences its most glorious moments with the amount spent by consumers going from increasing over the last twenty years.
As such both suppliers and distribution are under immense pressure.
Timely dispatch is therefore crucial to avoid delays in delivery.
Here is the cost
Before you contact the company that will take care of the packages, set a cost range within which your expenses will move.
This will save you time and unnecessary searching by evaluating ideas that are ultimately not in your budget.
Finally, as far as costs are concerned it is suggested to spend the same money for all your employees or partners in order to foster a climate of equality and avoid rivalries.
Keep it professional
The offer of the corporate gift is a move that aims to strengthen business relations and promote the human side of the company.
But beware of overdoing it.
Crude jokes on the altar of humor and excessive familiarity are practices that should not be engaged in especially in a work environment.
Put a personal card in the package
In the vast majority of cases the gift is the same for all recipients.
For both practical and ethical reasons, in order to facilitate the process on the one hand, and to avoid differences being perceived as either sympathy or antipathy towards the recipient on the other.
However, within this homogeneity there is a need to include a personal element, a touch that indicates that the gift is personalised and that the partner receiving it is a person. unique for the sender.
This could be a customized card that wishes a happy holiday season in a warm and human way.
Put a personal card in the package
The practice of corporate gifting is important to be perceived as an element of the overall status of the company.
Maintaining consistency in terms of aesthetics and ethics is therefore a key element which adds more value to the organisation.
For example a classic premium look may suit a business that has high prestige as opposed to a start-up which may opt for contemporary design, innovative products and perhaps eco packaging.
+1 Please also note
Finally, factors such as religion, customs and traditions of the country of origin or eating habits should be taken into account when preparing corporate gifts.
Such oversights can cost and tarnish a generous gesture with altruistic motives.
