Corporate gifting in the UK has become an increasingly popular strategy for strengthening business relationships and enhancing brand reputation. By giving carefully selected gifts, companies can express appreciation for client partnerships, celebrate shared achievements, and create positive associations that encourage continued collaboration.
The positive impact of corporate gifting on business relationships lies in its ability to communicate personal attention and respect. When companies invest time and resources in selecting thoughtful gifts, it shows clients, partners, and employees that they are valued, which can lead to increased trust and stronger relationships.
Corporate gifts also serve as tangible reminders of the business connection, making recipients more likely to remember the giver and engage with the brand. Studies have shown that effective corporate gifting can increase client retention rates and improve customer satisfaction, ultimately supporting long-term business growth.
When planning your corporate gifting, it’s essential to follow an etiquette to avoid potential issues. Below are some of our suggestions to help make gift-giving easy and effective.
1. Personalise Notes
Adding a handwritten or personalised note is a polite touch that shows genuine appreciation. This small gesture can enhance the impact of the gift, making it memorable and sincere without appearing too formal or impersonal.
2. Be Mindful of Cost & Quality
Ensure the gift is tasteful without being extravagant. High quality gifts demonstrate thoughtfulness especially when personalised and sent when least expected. High quality gifts also reflect your values of being a high quality brand.
3. Know Your Recipient
Choose a gift that reflects their tastes and interests. When you consider this, the gift is more likely to be better received. This demonstrates that time and effort was put into sending the gift and adds value to your business relationship. The gift is also more likely to be used and not wasted, which is often the case with unwanted gifts.
4. Understand Cultural Sensitivities
Ensure the gift aligns with the recipient’s culture and values. For example, do not send alcohol to a recipient that does not drink alcohol, and take into consider your recipient’s dietary requirements such as being vegan or gluten free.
5. Company Policies
Always ensure that gifts adhere to both your company’s and your customer’s gift policies, especially in industries where strict guidelines exist around corporate hospitality.
