What Makes a Good Gift
There are several factors that determine the efficacy of a gift that should be considered:
- Is the gift thoughtful? Does it match the recipient's interests and expectations?
​
- What is your budget?
​
- What is the level of your relationship with this recipient? Are they brand new to your business or a foundational member?
​
- Does the gift need to be personalized? Should you include your company logo?
​
- Are you gifting at the right time? Are you considering times outside of the last 2 weeks of Q4? Their birthday or anniversary, a random time to say thank you? Or are you gifting at the same time as every other company?
​
- How can you connect your gift back to your local community? Does your gift consider sustainability, disability awareness, local challenges and prosperity, or other factors that may be important to your recipient?
​
It's a lot of work to consider all of these things for every gift that's given, but the difference in reception will be immense.
Thoughts on Corporate Gifting
Do you have a strategy for actively showing appreciation and gratitude to your employees and clients?
​
2020 was a difficult year for many businesses as they began to face the reality that the things they've been doing may not be working when it comes to employee appreciation as workers continually felt undervalued and sought to find greener pastures elsewhere. While it's a complex problem to solve, one of the first things to do is recognize that a $20 pizza and 10 minutes to eat it in a break room or at their desk simply isn't enough. And it's not about the money spent, but the thought that goes in. Momma always said, "it's the thought that counts", right?
​
Next, we want to recognize that gifts aren't the only answer. True, genuine recognition that is heartfelt, spontaneous, and public can be the catalyst to engaged, happy employees. This can be accompanied by a gift or not, but we believe it's best to mix the two!
​
Lastly, let's consider all of the same things for our clients, our business partners, our suppliers, anyone that has a hand in our company's success. Acquiring a new client can cost as much as 5x that of maintaining existing relationships. That means if you doubled your client retention budget, statistically you'd still come out ahead.
​
So, again, do you have a strategy to actively appreciate and show gratitude to those that make your business run?
​
We'd love to be a part of it. Let's talk about how.
