Importance of Corporate Promotional Gifts
In today’s time when there are so many competing brands, corporate gifts can make or break your brand’s image in the professional space. Whether you’re planning on giving those gifts to your special clients, your employees or your customers, it is extremely important to get it right. Corporate gifts create a long-lasting impression of your brand on your target audience and are capable of creating a word of mouth publicity, both positive and negative.
When you’re giving corporate gifts to your clients or customers, you must give it some extra thought and consideration since these days there are a lot of competitive brands out there offering all kinds of creative and curated gifts and you’d not like for your brand to be overshadowed.
Since promotional gifts aim to create enough promotion for the brand which then results in sales, it is important that you put time and thought into it. In this article, we are sharing with you our tricks and tips and the rest you need to know when you’re stuck in the dilemma of curating corporate gifts for your brand.
Along with this, we’ve also listed down 10 Promotional Gift Ideas which would be great for your Brand Image. Read below to know more.
Things to Keep in Mind when Choosing a Corporate Gift
Who Is It for? Employees, Clients or Customers?
One of the first questions you need to ask yourself while working on promotional corporate gifting is ‘Who is this Gift for’, and you’d notice that based on the audience or recipients, you will have different ideas as to what needs to be gifted. This is also because your brand shares a different relationship with each of these entities, and the objective is also different in each case.
Which means that you would want to opt for a gift which would cater and strengthen the same.
The selection of your gift would vary depending upon the target audience, which is why make sure you understand your audience well - their needs and requirements, or what they expect out of your brand.
What Is the Occasion for the Gift?
Another thing that you need to keep in mind while deciding on corporate gifts, is the occasion behind the same.
For instance, if it is given on the occasion of celebrating a milestone, then it should be reflective of the same, like a gift with a thank you note for premium clients, customers and employees, or something that states what the milestone is like ‘10 years of success’, or similar.
In case of a festive occasion, you should opt for something indicative of celebration and festivity like Planners with Food Hampers. If you are launching a new product or holding an event, then again, you need to look for promotional gifts that will not only tie in with your brand but also strike a chord with your audience.
Don't Go Overboard with the Branding
This one’s important, because it usually gets missed out. Now, even though the purpose of a Corporate Gift is to promote your brand, which means it needs to have something to promote. It could be a brand’s logo, motto or name.
It is always smart to keep the promotion minimal yet impactful, rather than something which is out loud and obvious.

Get a Quote for Bulk Orders

Ask for Samples to Check and Ensure Quality
Sometimes products look very different online than how they would look and feel once received. This is why you should always first ask for samples and do a quality check on them before placing the order or giving an advance payment.
