NEW YORK, NY, September 12, 2005 — ePromos, a leading provider of promotional products to organizations of all types and sizes, today released the top 10 holiday business gifts for 2005. Choosing from over 7,000 available products and reviewing the nearly 12,000 annual orders the company fulfills, ePromos marketing specialists assembled a “top 10 gift list” to help guide businesses in this year’s gift hunting process.

“While gift giving is a unique way of thanking customers and partners, it is also a great opportunity to motivate, reward and recognize employees. Every year we try to help our clients select well chosen gifts that are impactful and meaningful,” said Jason Robbins, Chairman and Founder of ePromos.com. “We have seen a rise in technology gadgets this year and we are offering these cutting edge items as well as a number of interesting, high quality, and distinctive selections that are economically priced.”

According to ePromos, choosing the right gift is more important than the dollar amount spent and a typical budget can allocate up to 1-2% of the net profit made. Some general guidelines for gift giving:

  • Personalized gifts are appreciated most.
  • Holiday gifts are a unique opportunity to create a positive association on a personal level.
  • Consider gifts that will be appreciated outside the office, such as wine sets or golf accessories.
  • Selecting a brand-name gift is one way of insuring a high perceived value.
  • If a budget is tight, make the thought count and find something unusual that relates to the gift receiver in a creative way.
