How to Nail Corporate Presentations and 10 Perfect Corporate Gifts that Will Impress Your Employees in 2019

Buying gifts for corporate events is not an easy task. There are multiple things to consider while buying something for corporate presentation. First of all, buy gifts according to the occasion. For presentation ceremonies to reward the employees, trophies and plaques would be the most appropriate gifts. To simplify the process, keep a few things in mind. Gifting at corporate events is a formality. But that doesn’t mean that the gifting process doesn’t require time and effort. You need the gift to be memorable and therefore we strongly suggest that you make the gift a memento or memorabilia of some kind. Small figurines, plaques, decorative plates, etc. make great gifts for corporate events. Customised gifts are a great option for corporate events. Customised wall plates, plaques, pens, boxes etc. are a great way to commemorate an occasion. Websites like Printland, Vistaprint and many more accept bulk orders for a variety of customised goods including stationery, jackets and t-shirts.

One of the main objectives of corporate gifting is to create and establish the identity of that particular brand. A brand identity is a way to communicate with the world, differentiate yourself from the competition, and create a brand experience that encourages people to engage with you. Therefore it would be wise to put the brand logo or name on the merchandise or gift that is being handed out to the guests or attendees. Brand identity can be created in many ways. Gift bags with the company’s logo containing monogrammed pens, key chains, notepads, pen drives etc. are perfect gifts for creating brand identity. Gifting clothing with the company name or logo is also a good idea. Nowadays you can also get customised chocolate boxes for corporate events and functions. Go to Chococraft to check out the various chocolate boxes which are available for customisation. You can get the boxes customised and also get the logo on each individual chocolate as well. To create the brand identity you need to make sure that the company logo and name gets maximum visibility. Therefore getting it imprinted on merchandise, tees etc. is a good idea.

While picking corporate gifts it’s not always possible to pick out gifts individually for the male and female attendees. The easiest thing to do therefore would be to pick gifts which are gender neutral. By gender-neutral gifts, we mean things which can be used or given to both genders. Picking gender-neutral gifts will require less work, ensuring that every guest or attendee leaves home happy. Gender neutral gifts can include plaques, wall plates, pens, pen drives, notepads, diaries, key rings. If t-shirts or jackets are being gifted then it would be better to make them unisex and free size, to avoid unnecessary work. We feel that everyone at work should be treated equally, irrespective of their gender. Therefore the decision to give gender-neutral gifts is obviously a more professional one. Gifts for corporate functions are bought or ordered in bulk. Therefore buying gender neutral gifts is a wise economical decision as well. When you buy in bulk, you get the products on discount thereby making a lot of savings.

Everybody uses stationery at work and if you are working in a big corporate house, then your stationery should look professional.

T-shirts with the company’s logo is another great way to establish a brand identity.

Corporate presentations are events where gifts are distributed among employees, guests and delegates. But the choice of gifts depends on the occasion. There might be a religious ceremony conducted at the office or an award ceremony to appreciate the efforts of individual employees. Sometimes there are dinners or lunches conducted for special guests or felicitation ceremonies. Buy the gifts in accordance with these factors.

For example, for a puja ceremony, boxes of Indian sweets, or offerings would be the best gifts. If it’s a religious festival that is being celebrated like Diwali, then boxes of painted lamps or diyas can also be gifted. For award ceremonies, trophies, plaques framed certificates, etc. would make appropriate gifts. For dinners, lunches or product launches, goody bags filled with company logo engraved merchandise would be a good choice. This is because you would want your guests to remember the brand and this stands true especially in the case of product launches. Creating a brand identity is necessary in this case and that can only be done if you educate people about the look and feel of the brand.
