With the holidays right around the corner, it is time to start thinking about holiday gifts for employees, clients and referral sources. As we know, forging strong relationships in this economy is key to success and giving gifts during the holidays is a great way to show your appreciation. Appreciation to employees for a job well done, appreciation to referral sources who send business your way and appreciation to clients who have invested in your products over the past year.
The gift does not have to be expensive, it can be a $5 item, it is the thought and show of appreciation that counts. We know it is not always feasible, but if the gift can be delivered in person, it is even more personal and effective.
When considering gifts for the holidays, food remains to be the #1 business gift. Here are some surveys that support this:
- According to an American Express Small Business Services survey, 50% of business gifts purchased for the holidays are food gifts.
- The Nation's Business magazine found that food gifts are the best business gifts for the holidays because they are something everyone can enjoy, and they're usually not too expensive.
- Counselor Magazine learned that 61% of business gift buyers ranked food gifts as the #1 business gift for the holidays.
There are numerous options to purchase for food gifts from, including retail stores, mail order catalogs, internet merchants and promotional product distributors. One benefit of working with a promotional product company for food gifts is that the products are sure to be branded with a company logo. We specialize in working with clients to brand products with their logos. This is not always the case with other retail brands who put their logo on the product, so sometimes you are not sure who the product actually came from.
The partners that we use for food gifts are companies that specialize in food gift giving. These are not companies that print pens, clocks and during the holiday season provide food gifts. So you can be rest assured that the quality will be premium and the products fresh. The product can be dropped shipped to your clients or can be shipped to your company to be hand delivered.
