Promotional gifts – how, what and when to give?

2 min read

You don't necessarily have to wait for Christmas to thank your employees, customers or partners. A well-thought-out, well-timed gift works more effectively than the flood of gifts that usually comes at Christmas. Employees can be remembered on their birthdays and work anniversaries, customers on various special occasions and partners, for example, when a major joint project succeeds.

Promotional gifts and corporate clothing are the best way to build a positive connection between a company and its employees, customers or partners. They also help raise your company's visibility! 

The best brand and company ambassadors are undoubtedly the company's own employees. Satisfied employees proudly wear clothing with the company's branding and use gifts that are practical and memorable.

What to give depends on the company's vision and goals. Many of us have surely received products that sit unused somewhere at the back of a cupboard gathering dust. How many different mugs can you really drink from, or how many pens can you write dry, for them all to get used? On the other hand, power banks, drinking bottles and sports bags/backpacks are sure to be used. It all depends on how bold you are and how much you think outside the box. And of course the budget sets its own limits!

So what kind of promotional gift raises brand awareness and helps strengthen the company's reputation?

  • Current trends are increasingly moving towards more eco-friendly solutions. By choosing an eco-friendly gift, you do good for the environment and bring joy to the customer.
  • Because of the coronavirus crisis, people have started thinking more about local producers, and out of a wish to support small businesses, more and more locally made products are being given as gifts.
  • Practical gifts that are also easy on the eye. Gifts that can be used again and again and that last are sure to help raise brand awareness.
  • The best gift is one that creates emotion and makes you memorable!

There's no point giving promotional gifts just for the sake of it. It's ineffective and encourages overconsumption. A company definitely needs a strategy for this area – how, what and when to give.
