Gift giving is a great way for companies to show clients gratitude for their business. However with so many available options, it may seem overwhelming to know exactly how to show client appreciation. We’ve outlined a few ways to narrow down the options to help give gifts with impact that keep your business top-of-mind and help strengthen client relationships.
Relationships Matter
Remembering a client with a gift of appreciation at year-end shows how much you value that relationship. A generic or impersonal gift could quickly end up in the bin while a thoughtful gift can strengthen relationships and loyalty. Additionally, choosing an imprint that is meaningful to the recipient adds a personal touch and can keep a business top-of-mind long after the gift is given.

Recognizing employees for their efforts can increase engagement and improve retention simply by letting workers know they are valued. Employees have a deep desire for acknowledgement, with 93% hoping to be recognized at least once a quarter. Employees add a human touch to a product/service, build customer relationships and define work culture; so implementing a recognition program is just good business. (1)

Celebrate Your Brand
Gifts take on added meaning when they celebrate a specific event or time that is meaningful to both the giver and the recipient. Recognizing occasions that are distinctive to a company’s mission can create stronger bonds between the gift recipient and that brand.

Know Your Audience
When choosing what exactly to give, analyzing your intended audience is a good way to help structure your plan. While a versatile item may appeal to everyone on your list, something that is more specific to the demographics of your clientele may be more memorable. Consider the quantity, budget, industry and overall objectives when determining what gift will best convey your intended message.
