Gifts for Every Budget

Just because it is a corporate event, doesn’t mean that you must splurge or go overboard with the gift giving. Your budget should be fixed before hand, before you start factoring in how many recipients there will be, and what the occasion is. After all, your budget and plans will vary in accordance with whether the event is to celebrate a company milestone or to launch a new product or brand. How many people will receive gifts will depend on whether there are to be only invited delegates to a convention or seminar, or whether the occasion is a company get-together to celebrate a festival.

Few or Many?

Since the main purpose of gift-giving is to make the recipient feel good; you should consider the industry your company represents, the occasion - and above all - who will receive the gift/s. Here are a few corporate gift ideas to get you started. The usual list of pens and diaries stamped with the company name or logo; coffee mugs with inspirational or funny messages; gifts hampers with an assortment of goodies might seem passé. Surprisingly, they aren’t as they are customizable, and the quality and price of the items are adjustable in accordance with your given budget.

Promote the Company Name and Logo

Elegant leather card holders with the company logo stamped on them make sense at a business convention; as do bags, clip-on clocks, and calculators. You could also think in terms of headphones or power banks; arm bands to hold iPods; electronic photo frames; even flasks as these have multiple uses especially for a frequent traveler. When you order any corporate gift in Singapore, make sure that you have ordered well in advance where you need several items or several pieces of the same item. Ideally, you should have the company name and logo embossed on these gifts to enhance the recall value of your brand.

Keep the Family in Mind

When the company gifts are going to be distributed at an event where family members might be present, confectionaries, candies, toys - especially plush ones, T-shirts, and cute notepads with the company name and pretty designs printed on them would serve very well as they would be both welcome and good reinforcements of your brand. An indoor fountain - it isn’t as expensive as you might think - works for people who need to spend long hours indoors. It has the advantage of being different from the rut, is distinctive, and has a touch of class.
