Digging into Giftpack’s data, our AI engine has generated and sorted out every possible gift idea. We put these business gift ideas into 10 categories based on how your recipients could use the products. Feel free to go straight into the paragraphs below and get inspired!
For those who want to know about the nitty-gritty of corporate gifting, before jumping right into it, there are a few things we would love you to know to ensure you are on the right path. We want to make sure you understand the difference between a gift and a corporate gift. With that, we will share 3 steps on how you can pick the right gift. Last but not least, you can check out our product because we have found a way for you to save all your time and effort, even money with our professional corporate gifting service.
Usual Gifting v.s Corporate Gifting
The idea of corporate gifting, or business gifting may sound daunting at first. But as you understand it more, you will soon realize that it is more than necessary – for keeping a good relationship with your employees, clients, and partners.
The main difference between the public's perception of gifting and corporate gifting is merely the social context. The perceived purposes of gifting would always be expressing gratitude, celebrating life events, and/or adding value to a relationship.
The key difference lies in the people that are involved and the place the action takes place.
When you are thinking about what kind of gift to pick for a friend’s or a family's birthdays, it can be as simple as just the two of you two, one sending and the other receiving the gift, at a restaurant you pick beforehand.
Most of the time, that's how gifting works in our lives.
Switching to corporate gifting, in most cases, more people are involved in the process. The place where gifting happens also becomes very dynamic.
Corporate gifting is the gifting that takes place within a business or several businesses. Within the organization, the Human Resource managers would hold gifting campaigns on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas to appreciate employees' hard work. There is a good chance that the Sales Representatives in a corporation are sending gifts regularly, either on a monthly, quarterly, or annually basis to your VIPs and valuable clients.
You might be able to tell by now. Corporate gifting can involve a team, a whole organization, or even multiple corporations.
It is not easy to do it perfectly, right? With more people involved, the best way is to prepare a catalog with a handful of high quality gift items. This is the only possible way everyone can get their desired gifts.
It is also the reason the holiday season is often a nightmare because it is a long procedure to go through – and one mistake could cause any company millions of dollars. So, with this pressure on the shoulders, how will you pick the right corporate gifts for the right target group of people?
The Right Way to Choose Corporate Gifts
Knowing corporate gifting is a synonym of business gifting, what comes to your mind when you think of corporate gifts? Branded pens? Office stationery sets? T-shirts? Or water bottles? These are all correct answers.
With so many possible options, all you need is a general guideline that will prevent you from picking the wrong gifts. Here it is:
1. Have a clear goal in mind
It is too pretentious of us to say that we expect nothing in return in a corporate gifting campaign. The return can be as simple as a rise in employee happiness or employee motivation rate, and as sophisticated as prolonging relationships with your VIP clients.
2. Think of your recipient's interests
This is a bit trickier than deciding the goal of gifting, as it has to do with the gift recipients themselves. Not to mention it is unlikely that you know every one of your recipients personally, which means you barely know each of their interests and hobbies.
Therefore, in a corporate gifting campaign, there is usually much guesswork. Based on what you know of your gift recipients, you should try to reach a balance between going too personal and being cliche.
3. Imagine the unboxing scene
Last but not least, you would also want to forward the time and visualize the scene when your recipients are unboxing the gifts you send.
Will someone else be there except for your recipient? Will the recipient feel honored and valued when they open the gift in front of others? Or will the recipient feel touched as he or she unwraps the gift?
The main question for you to answer is: What kind of emotion do you want to trigger?
You don't want to embarrass your valued recipients. Don't send something that will make them awkward, or force them to show a facet of themselves that they don't necessarily want to show.
This is the moment of making it or not. Be sure to put yourself into your recipient's shoes.
