How To Use Corporate Christmas Gift Baskets To Promote Your Business Interests

The concept of Corporate Christmas gift baskets has only be around a while. The baskets are bought for clients to show an apprecation of their clients and you could be doing the same. This is different from giving normal gift baskets to your nearest and dearest, but the only difference is you would be offered a chance to promote your business. You can show off your innovative side and fire up the imagination of your client and ensuring you are remembered the next time they are looking to purchase a product or service you provide. Examples of gifts could be golf stuff, watches, pens, flowers and of course chocolate! Or what about fruit food and go exotic. Also make your note as personal as you dare to really show you are different. If you are trully thankful for their business this will show in your gift.

　　Plenty Of Latitude

You also have a lot of latitude when it comes to choosing corporate Christmas gift baskets and there are various types that you can choose from including handcrafted items, fruit baskets as also gourmet gift baskets. In addition, you can choose to send ‘thank you' gifts as well as ‘get well' gifts and many more that only require having a good imagination and which can be given to inspaniduals as well as groups or even to small teams on different occasions such as wedding anniversaries, birthdays, and even when a project has been achieved earlier than expected.

You can even have your corporate Christmas gift baskets personalized and they can also be sent when expressing sympathy when someone is under grief and all that you need is to locate the proper service providers who will be able to design as well as create the ideal corporate Christmas gift baskets that can be set to various themes and which will suit certain occasions.

Those who are corporate members could work with service providers and specify the designs of the corporate Christmas gift baskets as well as have gift card messages printed out and even ask for multiple orders, and even online order processing. Just like other types of gifts, corporate Christmas gift baskets are a good means of enabling corporations build ties with their associates and thus will create a lasting impression in the minds of the recipients which should help push the business interests in the right direction.

To sum up, if you are wanting to show your company´s appreciation of its clients, employees and other people that help your company succeed, corporate christmas gift baskets are a perfect way to do this. You will need to remember that the size of the gift baskets needs to be judged against the number of people that are going to receive them, so make sure that each basket is sufficiently large for each recipient.

　Financially savy Christmas gift advice

With the holidays in full swing as consumers try to push 2009 into the distant past and retailers make a concerted effort to get the cash registers ringing, I was hardly surprised to see the latest issue of Money Magazine dishing out advice on Christmas giving.

There are a total of four articles on the topic of holiday giving in the December 2009 issue about gifts to give yourself, others and even charities. The art of gift giving, unlike investing, is shrouded in many traditions, is a symbol of how we care for one another and is sprinkled with elements of indulgence. Because of this, I was intrigued by Money Magazine’s perspective on this during one of America’s most commercialized holidays.

One article on the “Best Gifts at the Best Prices” (pg. 108) grouped deals by receiver types such as Foodie, Fashionista, and Gadget Geek. I have to say in the category of Foodie, the article had me salivating. Unlike a Consumer Reports ranking of appliances, the authors of this article understood the indulgence factor of gifts touting deals such as a Laguiole steak knives deal on WineEnthusiast.com (set of 6 for ~$70). The same set is available from Amazon for $79.95 and depending on shipping, may be an equally good deal. Another gift for the Foodie in your life not mentioned in the article is a season’s subscription to a local community supported farm. Around San Jose, both Live Earth Farm and Two Small Farms would be great choices.

When it comes to gift-giving for yourself, Money Magazine’s advice (“Three Holiday Gifts to Give Yourself” pg. 21): a book, a receipt organizer and even seeing if you have unclaimed funds with the government.
