There is a vast difference between promotional gifts and celebratory gifts like holidays or appreciations so keep your motto clear through the selection of the gifts that whether you want a brand awareness or appreciate the people with respect.
  • Think about Unique, Personalised Gifts: Think from the receiver’s perspective while you give away a gift. Whether it is your business partner, client or employee think if they will love the gift or not. Don't buy it if you feel it is cheesy or futile, instead opt for a personalised gift which will be appreciated for years.
  • Always Consider the Packaging: No matter what the gift may be the presentation must be perfect. Selecting the right packaging determines what it says about you or your brand.
  • Consult Your Company Handbook: Always consult your company handbook or talk to the HR for a clear discussion about gift giving. It will prevent trouble rather than handling an issue afterwards.
