6 Tips For Memorable Gifting
When it comes to finding business Christmas gifts for clients—or really any custom gifts your clients will rave about, remember these are the items that will represent your company. To ensure your corporate client holiday gifts make a lasting impression, take into consideration these six tips.
1. Quality. It’s important that your Christmas gift ideas for business clients exude quality. Remember, this is a direct reflection of your company. And just like you wouldn’t want your goods or services to be represented by something that was haphazardly made, cheap, or was overall not functional or aesthetically pleasing the same can be said for your corporate client holiday gifts. On a tight budget? You can still find inexpensive custom products that will stand the test of time. Talk to your Gemnote rep for a curated list of ideas.
2. Sustainable. Let your company’s ethics and values guide finding and giving sustainable products. From recycled materials to ethical sourcing, let the dedicated staff at Gemnote help you find quality, sustainable products by brands you’ll be proud to partner with.
3. Professional. While gag gifts make memorable White Elephant or Secret Santa gifts, they probably don’t convey the professional quality your business Christmas gifts for clients should. So when it comes to professional gifts, keep your company’s branding and corporate image be your guide.
4. Practical. The best gifts are the ones your recipient can use over and over again. And, the marketing power of items like this cannot be stressed enough, especially if you add your company’s logo to it. The repeated exposure to your branding will make your company stand out among the pack, especially in a crowded marketplace.
5. Aesthetic. Quality, sustainability, professionalism, and practicality all have their place when choosing unique client gift ideas for holidays, but for the unexpected wow factor, don’t forget a pleasing aesthetic. While you may not know each client’s personal styling preference you can’t go wrong with clean lines, a modern appeal, and earth tones or complimentary neutrals that allow your client to add to.
6. Presentation. In business, the goal is to always put your best foot forward and it’s no different when it comes to the best Christmas gifts for business clients. At first glance, it helps elevate the notion of what’s inside, and with thoughtful, sustainable packaging and a professional vibe, your presentation can also reinforce your company's culture.
