You already know that you want to send the best corporate gift to your top clients, but the real challenges are finding the right gift items, imprinting them appropriately, and potentially creating a gift giving program that can improve the experience of the recipients, ease the burden of gift giving, and maximize your success.

Idea One: Choosing an Item
If finding the right promotional gift item has got you stumped, stop for a second and take a step back to consider what you want to achieve rather than what you want to give. There are many ways to think about your gift giving goals and hone in on the perfect item:
Consider your budget and quantity to determine your ideal price range.
Decide if brand names are important to you.
Eliminate categories that you know you're not interested in, or aren't practical. If you don't know sizes, for example, corporate apparel is out.
Decide whether you want to give a gift for home, office or travel use.
Consider the gender of the recipients to decide if you should go with a unisex gift, or separate gifts for men and women.
Once you've made a few of these decisions, it's easier to choose from the remaining products.
Idea Two: Imprinting and Customization
Imprinting is what will give your business gift a promotional marketing impact, so consider what that impact should be. Often, a small company logo is sufficient as a tasteful reminder of your generosity that doesn't interfere with the value of the item. For the most subtle approach, consider laser engraving, embroidery or tone-on-tone printing. At other times, a tagline is appropriate to tie the gift in to your current marketing campaigns. If a marketing tagline isn't appropriate, a message of thanks may be the best thing to add to your branding. Personalization along with your logo may be another effective way to combine your brand with a personal gift.
Customizing your products to your company image is another way to enhance a marketing campaign. Using our customization services, a company can create a product from scratch or have the product customized in their corporate colors. This process creates a brand image and enhances a brand presence in all the promotional campaigns. Using customized products along with your business gift ideas is a great way to promote your brand or maintain brand consistancy for your company.
Idea Three: Packaging and Presentation
In addition to your gift, a unique business gift idea you'll want to consider is the packaging and presentation for the best impact. Many of our promotional gift items are available with gift packaging, and often the packaging itself can be imprinted with your logo. Coupling one of your business gift ideas with a gift card or a letter with your message may be a good addition to the overall presentation.
Idea Four: Creating a Gift Program
The holiday season is the biggest gift-giving time of the year, but depending on your goals, it isn't always the best. Many companies prefer to give annual holiday gifts around Thanksgiving or New Year's so their gifts stand out and receive more attention. Other options include giving gifts for other occasions, such as completing a major project or sale, the anniversary of working with a client, or a client's birthday. Since these types of events are directly related to the client and/or your working relationship, these gifts tend to have a powerful, direct impact on the working relationship.
