As all of us keenly await the launch of  Giftex, we take this opportunity to evaluate some of the key strategies and aspects of corporate gift-giving and how the program can be most effective in today’s competitive business scenario. We quickly sum up important points related to the topic:

1. If you are looking to strike a more personal connection, it is important to customize your gift in order to set yourself apart. It’s the thought that often matters. If you know, for instance, that the gift is for an executive who loves traveling to Australia, you will get something related to Australia, as if to convey, ‘I went out of my way to get you (the receiver) something.’ Cost is not the sole deciding factor. Thought and theme behind what you give is equally vital.
2. There are so many ways of personalizing a gift. Technology helps a great deal in personalization. Gift personalization isn’t necessarily about ‘cheesy gifts’, but the cost of your gift must go with the value of your relationship with the client.
3. For the gift to convey a message, irrespective of its price tag, the giver should be clear about the purpose of the gift and the entire gift giving exercise. Is it a ‘thank you’ gift for the company, or do you want to give a gift to a key individual associated with the company?
4. When a company/individual is familiar with its recipient, the connotation of the exercise changes. You can be more liberal and flexible in your gift giving exercise because you know the set-up/ mindset of the recipient company/individual.
5. Ultimately, it all boils down to how much the gift giver has actually budgeted to give, whether or not the corporate entity/individual is a really important client, and last but not the least, the customization factor - how creative and innovative one can get in selecting, packaging and presenting a gift – all of which together add value to the corporate gifting exercise and determine its success in terms of conversions (increased sales and profits).

It is important for companies to understand the importance of branding and image building, hence the benefits of corporate gifting can never be under estimated. While there is plenty of variety of corporate gifts available in market, we need to select the appropriate one which meets our needs like promotional value, utility, quality of the product and the most important price.

Here are few tips which will enable you to the most economic yet quality gifts:

•    One of the important criteria while selecting a corporate gift is quality. The product should meet their status and position. If the company fails to deliver a quality gift, it would only spoil their goodwill. The behavior of the recipient would then most likely change if you end up giving them a low quality object.

•    Other important criteria for choosing a corporate gift is its utility. Promotional products like desktop articles, pens, t-shirts, bags prove to be very useful. They bring out the desired result in most cases and are most effective because of their utility to a broader category of people like housewives, employees, students and so on. Such gifts can surely bring about positive results for the companies.

•    The last but not the least important factor while selecting a right corporate gift is the budget. Though it is true that clients wouldn’t mind expensive gifts, it is important for companies to choose the right budget that brings out greater Return on Investment. It is of no good investing huge sums and bringing the same amount of business as is it otherwise would have come with a smaller investment.

•    Here are some gifting ideas that might interest you: Garments, Watches, Reading Lamps, Pen Holders, Pen Sets, Mugs / Cups, Art Sculptures, Paintings, Flower Pots, Table Clocks, Perfumes, Candles and Candle Holder, etc.

If you are still confused about selecting the right gift for your clients, why not visit the Giftex 2012 just a few days away from now; the details of this exciting event are available on the site.

Even in the season of lean corporate spending, the importance of corporate gifting has by no means diminished. Corporate gifting is vital for the purpose of reviving and reinforcing crucial business contacts! The consolidation phase of a business can perhaps be the best opportunity to appreciate the association with them.

Top businesses also understand the importance of sticking to employees who provide excellent service and bring value to them. Presenting a gift will only enhance ties with them. This is the perfect time for a meaningful corporate activity. The times are challenging, but such challenges call for dramatic measures.

In this context, Giftex is a one-stop shopping event for bulk purchases by corporate entities and traders, giving everyone access to India’s top sourcing hubs. All the earlier Giftex editions had been a huge hit, and this year’s edition to be held at Mumbai’s Nehru Centre in just about a week from now, promises to be a blockbuster.

And here is a word of advice to make the most of your gifting program: Tuned to the changing times, look to experiment and come up with innovative ideas. Personalization is a vital factor in gifting to select top-level executives, and even your employees. Generic promotional items are passé because people are trying to get be more personal with things.

Thanks to a truly challenging business environment, today’s businesses have been forced to think beyond lofty or impracticable promises of big bonuses and lavish retreats.

As all of us would readily agree, businesses cutting across domains and irrespective of scale, are now facing the tricky challenge of sticking to stringent budgets as well as conceiving newer, more novel ideas to show their ‘human’ side to clients and employees and to express their heartfelt appreciation. In such circumstances, a little help from outside is always welcome. This is where Giftex 2012 will come into play.

A gift is an ideal tool, object or gesture, whichever way you consider it, when it comes to making a permanent and fulfilling impression on your clients, business associates as well as your valued employees. Gift giving is not a mere ritual. It has emerged as a crucial corporate strategy as part of a larger jigsaw. Generic gifts picked by harried administrative assistants are giving way to personal gestures designed to indicate just how much your truly care for your corporate buddies.

Today’s corporate culture demands more creative, more innovative and more thoughtful ways of expressing genuine appreciation to the people you care the most – clients, business contacts and your own employees.

In the field of sales & marketing services, clients expect gifting-industry consultants to be right on top of trends; be innovative and tuned to new technology.
