Choose Something Useful and Personalize It
The best gifts are those that people will and can use all year round, such as comfortable pens, esthetic desk calendars, or compact flashlights. Stay away from those novelty gifts or cheap office supplies that are just downright gaudy or will only break even before the year ends.
While looking for business gifts that are useful, you can also make the most of this chance and include the name of your business on the gifts you will give away. Most people will not have any problems with branded or personalized gifts as long as you keep it tactful and still offer value to the receiver. After all, nothing beats personalized gifts so you might as well use this to your advantage.
Also, instead of going gaga in buying gifts for all the people included in your contact list, you can also give your own products or services as gifts. This will cost you even less and at the same time, this can work as a wonderful marketing for your business as a whole.
Spread the Cheer or Make a Donation
If you will be giving business gifts to a large office, you can also consider something that will benefit all the employees and not only the senior managers or business owners themselves. The holiday season is the season of giving, after all, so you might as well spread the love and joy to everyone as much as you can.
Meanwhile, if you don’t have any service or product that your business partners or their own employees can use, you can also make a charitable donation on their behalf. This creates good will for your company and provides your business partners with an effective marketing for free.
Don’t Go Overboard
It is important to think of the idea of sending greeting cards and business gifts as what it really is – a strategy for marketing. These gestures of appreciation must always be simple, sincere, tactful, and thoughtful without causing harm to your brand like other marketing campaigns.
Of course, everyone loves cookies and all those tasty treats as holiday gifts. But, there is a serious problem if all your business partners end up receiving gift baskets filled with sugary snacks. This is not only unhealthy as it can also have an impact in office productivity once everyone falls from the sugar rush. Choose healthy alternatives like fruit baskets. This way, you can keep your partners happy and healthy.
Whatever your holiday strategy might be, giving business gifts to all your valued partners is the best way to show them your appreciation for the business and loyalty throughout the year.
