Tips for Successful Corporate Gifting
Creating an effective corporate gifting strategy requires more than just picking out a few items and sending them off. If you really want to make an impact, check out these tips.
Time Your Gifts
Timing can significantly influence the impact of a gift. While holidays are standard for corporate gifting, sending gifts during less traditional times can make them stand out more. Consider sending gifts to mark milestones such as the anniversary of a client partnership, the completion of a successful project, or even the start of a new business quarter.
Sending a gift during these unexpected moments can create a positive surprise, demonstrating that your relationship with the recipient is a priority year-round, not just during the holiday season.
Pro Tip: Lands’ End Outfitters offers the option to create a personalized company store for your business, where you can manage ongoing corporate gift orders year-round.
Pay Attention to Presentation
How a gift is presented is just as important as the gift itself. A well-packaged gift shows attention to detail and thoughtfulness, which can heighten the recipient’s experience.
Even small details, like high-quality wrapping or a branded ribbon, can significantly affect how the gift is perceived. Remember, the presentation is the first impression your gift makes—make sure it’s a strong one.
Follow-Up and Get Feedback
After the gift has been received, don’t let the communication end there. Following up with a personalized message shows you’re genuinely interested in the recipient’s reaction and satisfaction. Additionally, consider asking for feedback on your gifting efforts. Understanding preferences can help you refine your corporate gifting strategy, making it even more effective in strengthening your relationships.
