Corporate gifts and souvenirs are a commonly used tool to show
hospitality and appreciation to clients and employees alike.
Often a company will give away freebies at trade shows to people
who visit their booth, and employees often receive a free gift
at corporate events such as company picnics.
When a company is planning an event to attract new clients or
to promote the products and services they offer, they often put
together a gift package containing souvenirs that relate to the
event. Usually, they also commemorate the event with a special
graphic or slogan that refers to the event's theme.
If you've been put in charge of purchasing corporate gifts and
souvenirs for your company, there are a few things you should
consider:
Who is the gift for?
A lot depends on who will be receiving your corporate gift. The
most important distinction is whether the person receiving the
gift is an employee of your company or an outsider. Corporate
gifts and souvenirs should be chosen based on what they need to
accomplish.
If you are giving a corporate gift to an employee, it makes
sense that the gift should be something useful that relates to
the work your company does. If the gift is for a customer, it
doesn't necessarily have to relate to what your company does. It
should be something the customer actually wants or needs so that
they will keep the gift and remember your company the next time
they need the services you provide.
Does the corporate gift or souvenir commemorate
something?
If your corporate gift is a souvenir from a specific event,
always make sure your company's logo appears on the gift.
Sometimes it's also a good idea to include the name of the event
and the date. This makes customers more likely to hang onto it,
since it is a souvenir from a specific event they attended.
How much can you spend?
Corporate gifts and souvenirs can really be anything--lanyard,
candy, keychains, hats, t-shirts, pens, Frisbees--literally
anything. Your budget is important though. If your company
offers a high-end or high-tech service, you don't want to give
your customers something cheesy or low-quality. Make sure the
gift or souvenir is something useful, and get the most for your
budget. Sometimes, giving away fewer more expensive gifts and
souvenirs is more effective than giving away several cheaper
ones.
Corporate gifts and souvenirs are a very effective tool for
promoting any business. Everybody loves to get something
free--especially if it's something they can use. When purchasing
gifts and souvenirs, make sure you base your decision on who
will receive the gift, what the person receiving it should
remember about your event, and how much you can spend.
