Each year just before the holiday season, we have customers ask us how they can get their business clients excited about the gifts they send out, as a thank you for their continued business.
Many customers ask “How do we get our business clients excited about the gifts we choose for the holiday season. We have sent out many different promotional items each year, with lackluster results. We are looking for something that really stands out – what can we do?“
One of the best gifts you can send to your clients at the holidays is a food gift. You should plan on purchasing the very best tasting items that are made when ordered, and have not been sitting on the shelf for months at a time. What many people don’t realize is that the food items you find at the membership clubs and big box stores have been sitting on a warehouse shelf for 6-7 months before you purchase them. If this is how you have done your holiday shopping for the past few holiday seasons, your customers and employees will be surprised when you present them with fresh - made when ordered, food gifts.
The exciting thing about corporate chocolate gifts is that they can be molded and engraved just like fine crystal. You can even add not only your logo to the chocolate, but in many cases you can add chocolate industry theme designs to the chocolate assortments, creating that WOW effect you have been looking to achieve. If you are a builder, a construction firm, a craftsman or any type of company that uses tools, then an assortment of chocolates with mini hammers and saws would be a fitting chocolate gift.
If your company is an investment company, a banker, or any type of financial institution with global ties then you could send an assortment of chocolates that incorporate chocolate money signs and a chocolate globe – or if you are a mortgage company, you could substitute the globes for chocolate houses. Realtors could use the houses, or a chocolate key and thank you chocolates or a stock happy holiday truffle or the current year truffle to theme the chocolate gift.
One of the most talked about gifts is the 2lb executive gift chocolate bar. You have plenty of space on these large bars of chocolate to engrave incredible details, and if you send along a “Chocolate Smashing hammer” it just adds to the fun and excitement of this very big, very impressive gift. Some of the chocolate factories also have the ability to personalize each chocolate bar with a name, to make your gift even more talked about, long after the chocolate has disappeared.
Recipients are wowed by the intricacy and level of detail, and often rush to show their gift to others in the office, saying, ‘This is too beautiful to eat’. Eventually they do eat the chocolate, and break into the rich taste of great milk or dark chocolate. Most importantly, they’ll remember the message and who gave it to them.
