Ho! Ho! Ho!
Jolly singalong, brightly lit lights, and decorative mistletoes.
We may only be in August now, but it’s never too early to start your gifting preparations for Christmas. Like most festive promotional campaigns which involve months of planning in advance — we believe sourcing the perfect gift ideas for your business, too, requires some (deep) thinking.
Christmas is all about gift-giving. And good gifts say that you’re listening, attentive, thankful, and respectful — all things of value in relationships (business or otherwise). Therefore, ‘tis the time of the year to send some warm appreciation to your employees, clients, and vendors.
Unique promotional gift ideas create a lasting impression
Giving gifts is a fun way to celebrate and give thanks to the people who help your business strive, scaling new heights. Not only that, but they are also great for your business strategy.
When you curate a gifting strategy that incorporates a thoughtful blend of uniqueness and personalisation, it develops an emotional connection with your brand. In a study conducted by Forbes, approximately 80% of the companies said that corporate gifting has improved the relationship with their employees, and/or clients — significantly. On the other hand, 48% claimed that gifting has brought substantial benefits — among them including favourable improvement in customer loyalty, particularly, in the wake of the Covid pandemic.

A customer or client who feels connected with your brand will share their brand experience with their family and friends. Shout-outs, positive reviews, and recommendations. In most cases, word of mouth is totally free; and undeniably, one of the strongest forms of marketing. As shown in a study published by MarketingCharts, a whopping 93% of consumers claimed that friends and family are their most trusted source of information (referral), when it comes to products, brands, and services.
In a relatively similar study depicting consumers' preferred source of referral information, it was discovered that 46% of the sample study claimed to base their purchasing decisions on word of mouth.
