Corporate Gifts in Mumbai: A Guide to Corporate Gifting with 10 Premium Gifting Options for Clients and Colleagues (2019)

Corporate gifts can make or break your brand’s image in the professional space. Whether you’re planning on giving those gifts to your clients, your employees or your customers, it is essential 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.

A lot of thought is given to corporate gifts by brands since it is an excellent way of forming an influential and well-knit organisational culture as well as for cultivating a loyal customer base.

A corporate gift would make your clients and customers connect with your brand - creating a long term connect and relationship with the brand, making them feel a part of your brand’s journey. The same applies when you’re curating gifts for your employees, as it makes them feel a pivotal and valued part of the brand, which eventually results in them caring for the brand and working more passionately for the goal of the brand.

When you’re giving corporate gifts to your clients or customers, you should 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 be overshadowed.

Since it is not every day that you have to think about these gifts, but only for special occasions, it must be given its due thought instead of picking anything as a corporate gift which might not serve any purpose.

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.

Now that you know and understand the importance of corporate gifts, you might feel stuck while picking out the right gift. So here are some quick tips to keep in mind.

Before you pick out the gift you’re planning on spending your money on, it is important that you understand the aim of those gifts along with the occasion behind such gifting – celebration or festivities or brand anniversary etc.

Along with this, your selection of a corporate gift would depend on the audience for the same. For instance, present for an employee might be very different from what you might want to gift your loyal customers.

Spend some time understanding the target audience for your gift, keeping in mind the purpose of corporate gifts for them.

If the main objective is the brand presence, then you might want to go for an option where you can easily brand your product out there, through a logo, or any other language of your brand that you want to communicate through.

If your objective is giving back to the employees, then you would want to give them something that makes them feel important. For instance, you could provide them with a fitness band customised with your brand’s logo. This would communicate the message that you and the brand cares about their employees' health and well-being along with the hours they put in for work.

This would be a much better gift for your employees rather than the desk accessories which they barely used. Moreover, it also showcases that some thought and consideration have been put behind the gift, and the interests of the employees were considered to be of great importance.

This is one mistake that a lot of brands end up making while curating corporate gifts – not focusing on quality.

What you need to understand is that long gone are the days when bigger used to be better. In today’s time, what matters at the end of the day is the quality of your product than its quantity.

That's why, make sure you focus on the utility of the product, keeping in mind the audience for those gifts. They’d like something that can be of use for their day to day lives rather than something difficult to manage or put in use.

So remember, always go for a quality product which serves a purpose rather than falling for its size.

Make sure to have a budget in mind for your gifting needs.

You should aim at setting up an appropriate budget – which is neither too much nor too less. Overspending on these gifts might result in overdoing the gifts, which would then make your brand seem too immodest. On the other hand with less budget, it would make you go for gifts that are compromised on quality.

That is why it is essential to have just the right budget when planning on corporate gifts because it is not something you can take a risk with since the image of your brand could be at stake.

Once you have an overall budget, you can also segregate the same for different category of audience. For instance, keep more budget for valuable and old clients, the core team of your organisation and your regular customers.

If you’re looking at gifting the most important people for your brand - core employees, old clients and loyal customers, then you should go for gifts that are of premium quality and unique.
