Swag boxes are the most common thing you can find in business gifting. You can see it in almost every gifting situation. Companies that are doing corporate gifting are sending swags to either their employees or clients.
Sending swags to your employees or clients is not a good or bad thing. What really makes it good or bad is whether you have communicated the message correctly.
What does that mean?
It means for different situations, your gifts need not only to convey the right messages, but also make your recipients understand what you are trying to tell them. For example, when you onboard a new employee, the onboarding gifts or welcome gifts that you send should be telling them “welcome to the team, we will be your second family!” instead of “here are some things that will help you learn about us easier”.
