Choose a company gift (Corporate gifts)

In the world of business gifts are a common practice, widespread and common. The reasons are many and varied. However, we must take some care with that gift, to whom and at what time. A misunderstanding may give rise to negative consequences, on the contrary to what was intended to achieve with this action.

In choosing a corporate gift must be taken into account several important points:

1. Target gift: a person, a group, and several people from different departments.

2. From whom. It gives a personal capacity for or on behalf of a company …

3. Reason. It was a gift given by a party (Christmas, New Year, etc.) Was a gift on the occasion of success or achievements (signing of a contract agreement, a merger, a sale, etc…) And link (no trade relations but expects to take in the near future) …

4. Budget. As with regard to budget money or gifts.

Once you have a number of things perfectly clear, then it’s time to choose the gift.

Depending on the position of the person to be a gift, make a list with a number of possible gifts. Not as a gift to an executive of a company secretary or an employee of a department. Nor is it a gift to a domestic customer that a foreign client.

Remember that corporate gifts should not be a personal value or exorbitant. The best gifts are the practical (a clock for the office, a suitcase or briefcase, a pen, pen, or combination thereof, etc.)… O gifts and useful consumer increasingly used as a bottle of wine, a basket of food, a bottle of brandy, cava, etc…

We must distinguish between a detail with their clients or people in a median (secretaries, salespeople, administrative, etc.) and a gift conditions.

A detail can send tickets to a show a small gift with the company logo. A gift is something else. And do not ever take any kind of recorded trademark or logo of the company, unless it is the very mark of the gift. Neither offers anything that might be similar to a product or article that the company makes or sells. For example, do not give away a pen or a pen company that manufactures or sells these items.

But apart from getting the gift, you must have a good presentation. It is very elegant without giving a gift wrapping (in a paper, stained or badly wrapped). You should care much as the content presentation, the cost of adding a wrapper, a box, a ribbon or some other element, not usually an increase in the final cost of the gift.

Even send anonymous gifts, but always must be accompanied by a business card, a card with a word or a letter. Only gifts the given without reference letter, when delivered by hand or on a personal representation. Even in this case you can attach a written note from the sender or the superiors of the person delivering the gift.

In short, the gift to fulfill its function: it is necessary to give the right person at the right time, the right gift.
