Apart from a wide array of exciting gifting objects for corporate industry, Giftex 2012 is hosting a special pavilion by National Jute Board, courtesy Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. On the eve of this special showcase, here is a quick at the thriving r industry!

Long before the invention of polymeric fibres, natural fibres were spun to make yarns and yarns were woven to make cloth, ropes and similar products. Jute fibres derived from the plant of the same name were in the initial stages used to manufacture sackcloth and hessian principally. Over the years, with the advancement of technology, versatility of jute fibres has been discovered. Jute fibres are now being used not only for making sacks, but for sophisticated textile products for diverse end-uses also. It is a fascinating journey of jute stamping it as one of the oldest surviving agro-industries of the world.

Jute has traditionally been used for packaging, specially sacks. However, the fabric has shown its sheer versatility in modern times, with a range of unique physical attributes that have opened up new avenues for diversification, especially in the light of global concerns for the environment. Jute Geotextiles (JGT) are one aspect of Jute diversification which has proved to be highly effective in addressing soil-related problems in the field of civil engineering.

When they are put to the rest, JGT are very similar in function to the man-made synthetic Geotextiles - which are made from various petro-chemical derivatives. Like synthetics Geotextiles, Jute is used in separation, filtration, drainage and initial reinforcement.

Under these conditions, the biodegradability of JGT helps in the quick regrowth of displaced vegetation by coalescing with the soil, increasing its permeability, retaining the appropriate humidity as “mulch” and creating a micro-climate that is conducive to vegetative growth. Around the world JGT has been lauded as the most acclaimed natural fabric that provides biotechnical solutions to soil made vulnerable by exposure.

Beyond being a hardcore professional, your client is after all like anyone else – a soft; gentle individual, generally open to talk about his or her hobbies and preferences. Once you strike a chord with the person, you are in a position to earn their goodwill and clinch the deal, almost…

What does it take to make choice of a correct gift for your colleagues, corporate friends, partners, colleagues, or key clients? This is what we are going to discuss and find out. In this post, we shall learn about the art of corporate gifting and some basic norms to follow.

Find something that leaves a lasting impression:

• Planning in advance would also you come up with a thoughtful gift for your clients and build a long-term corporate relationship. Remember, the gift you intend to give your corporate client is a direct reflection of your business ethos.
• Be clear about the message you would want to convey, The first thing you need to work out is the message you would want your gift to send across subtly. Is it a reminder of a longstanding business relationship or marks the beginning of a new association?
• Choose gifts which set your business apart and make your clients remember who presented it to them. Try to locate something unconventional or distinctive.

It won’t be bad idea to formulate a ‘gift of the year or occasion based gifting’ plan that you follow so that you subtly and continually remind your clients that you care and think of them, going beyond day-to-day business.

Knowing your clients’ specific interests

• Now we come to the second important step, which is finding out about your clients’ specific interests. Following guidelines will help you give a gift that brings a smile and satisfaction to your clients’ faces.
• When we say that you should target your clients’ interests, when selecting a gift for them, what we mean is that you should try to find something which matches their thinking, attitude and lifestyle– personal as well as professional.
• Treat a gift as a symbol of your business ethos: The gift should ideally be a reflection of the business/ profession you are operating in, which would be the most appropriate gesture for any occasion. For instance, a stylish travel bag would be perfect if your business activity is related to tourism.
