Want to show your employee you appreciate them? Choose a promotional gift!

It is a common mistake that promotional gifts are only used as giveaway’s to potential customers as a means of marketing one’s company and in turn boosting sales and awareness of your brand. This of course is a very popular way of using promotional products, however it is not the only use of them.

There is a growing trend toward using promotional gifts as a way of keeping existing customers and strengthening relationships and ties with them. They can be used to reward a customer’s loyalty to your company perhaps on a special occasion such as Christmas. Promotional gifts can also be given to your employees as a special thanks for the hard work they do and to keep them devoted to working for your company.

Company award events are now very popular so therefore glass awards have become a rather sought after promotional gift. Presenting hard working employees with ‘employee of the year’ awards can really boost morale in the work place and encourage people to work hard in order to reap the benefits.

There are all sorts of slightly more high end promotional products that can be used as individual gifts instead of bulk buying for giveaways. See below for some inspirational ideas:

MP3 Players

Mp3 players are the ideal promotional gift for existing customers. By spending a little more on a product you are showing them that you care and at the same time reminding them why they have remained loyal to your company.

Belgium Truffles

Truffles or chocolates are a great promotional gift to giveaway to employees or customers as a Christmas present. They can be packaged up nicely in a box with your company message printed on it and also who can say no to a chocolate?

Ballpens

Pens are a very popular promotional product and can be great giveaways at an event or show. However higher end pens can also make fantastic presents. These promotional products can be boxed in gift boxes and printed with your company message or logo. A luxurious pen always makes a great corporate gift as they will always be used.

Here are just a few examples of what kind of promotional gifts there are available if you are willing to spend a little more money on certain special customers, employees or business associates. So think out of the box and not only promote your company to potential customers but to your faithful existing customers also. You may be surprised how it can benefit you also.
