Imagine this: At the end of a great quarter, you are thumbing through a catalog of pen, mug, and mouse pad ideas for your next office present. Sniff. We have all seen dance; it is the low-hanging fruit in a business gift orchard. If your objective is to wow clients, surprise colleagues, or motivate your diligent employees, however, you have to break out from the norm and choose unique corporate gifts that linger in the memory long after the box is closed.
Let us now discuss the reasons behind some gifts people remember while others remain gathering dust in the supply closet. Novelty is loved by the brain. New events, according to Harvard studies, more than the conventional wisdom suggest activate pleasure centers. The secret to very memorable business gifts? Surpise and joy.
Avoid the Logo Overload; King is Personalization.
Remember when you received a generic business keychain? Most likely it never saw daylight. Including a personal touch makes a typical gift a priceless remember. If it’s relevant, 82% of receivers of branded gifts retain them according to a BPMA survey. On a cup, go beyond simply initials. Consider Spotify playlists chosen for your customer’s musical taste.
Sustainable Choices Speak Volumes
Sustainability is a movement not only a catchphrase. Of customers, about two-thirds think they would pay more for environmentally friendly goods (Nielsen, 2015). Imagine presenting a classy bamboo desk organizer or reusable metal straws bearing a heartfelt message. Choose recycled ocean plastics for an even more significant splash; every time someone writes a message with that pen or drinks from that bottle, you are reminded of the earth.
Experience Above Objects
You will find that moments beat stuff. Ask around. Given a bottle of wine with gifts? That is good. Sent on a virtual wine-tasting under professional direction? Surely unforgettable. Events link people and start discussions. From cooking courses to hot air balloon rides, companies like Cloud 9 Living or Tinggly provide hundreds of events globally. Should remote work be the norm in your organization, treat your staff to an online escape room or a unique team-building exercise.
Modern High Technology with a Twist
We live in a gadget-filled time; don’t settle for the first one you come across. Your game will be elevated by wireless charging notebooks, self-sanitizing water bottles, or little projectors. Consider smartphone accessories like handy wireless earbuds or personalized PopSockets. Although tech products fix actual problems and feel luxury, make sure the equipment are useful and suitable. Nothing worse than a fancy gift that finds its way in a rubbish drawer.
