As the saying goes “Clothes make the man”, and especially in the world of corporate lifestyle, we believe that is the case.

Think about it, if you were interviewing candidates for a job, which person would you pick – the smartly dressed man or woman in a perfect suit or one who is dressed like a slob? Even if the 2nd person was extremely eloquent and intelligent, we are certain that most people would pick the former!

So that is why apparel is still one of the more common Corporate Gifts in Singapore that is usually exchanged. A well-personalized T-Shirt or Jacket, perhaps with both the recipient’s name and a small tasteful company logo does wonders as a gift. What better way to present yourself as being proud of a company than wearing a piece of clothing with the logo on it?

Remember, don’t go overboard with that logo! A huge gigantic logo that takes up half the T-Shirt is tacky and tasteless. A small one will do fine, especially when located near the heart for maximum symbolic value!

And there are also many practical applications for Apparel gifts. For example, a Jacket can protect you against those cold and windy days. Healthy employees are those that can work harder and more effectively, so you wouldn’t want them getting sick right? In addition, perhaps some jogging T-Shirts and Sports Towels could be a solid choice for clients who are more athletic – they will certainly appreciate the support of their active lifestyle.

So if those sounds exactly like the sort of clients you are trying to cater to, why wait? Go pick up some Apparel gifts today. We’re certain you’ll be pleased with the results.

Picture the scenario – you’ve did your discreet research on the client that you are about to deliver a gift to. From the information, you picked out what you believe is the perfect gift to suit his personality. You packaged it in the perfect gift-wrapped box and even made sure to personally engrave and customized the gift.

You’re sure the gift will be a big hit… but then your client looks at it and is furious, rejecting it! You try your best to calm him down and explain that you didn’t mean to make him angry but the damage has been done. He will remember this offense and the business relationship has been damaged. What happened?

“Timing is Everything” – this is the immortal words of Shakespeare as he sums the issue right up. When you give your clients the gift is just as important as what you give them. Most commonly, the usual gifting season is during the holidays where it is considered the cultural norm to do so. However, if you have knowledge of the client, such as personal information like his birthday, the birth of his children or his wedding anniversary and other such memorable events of his life, those are also very good occasion for a corporate gift. This shows that you have done your research.

But as another wise man said “The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.” Just as an example, imagine giving someone a photo frame just as he’s gone through a painful divorce or giving a religious person alcohol during his fasting period. He will be furious about how insensitive you are and take your “gift” as a veiled insult! It does not matter that you did not mean to do it, what matters is the perception. Therefore, you should keep to date on the happenings of your clients’ life and make sure that you do not fall prey to such silly simple mistakes.

Thus we can see – timing is an important aspect in the world of corporate gifting. Learn to use this to your advantage and you can maximize your benefits without even spending a single cent more.

Some big bosses, perhaps very traditional ones, scoff at the very idea of Corporate Gifting. “It’s a waste of money”, they say, “you can’t put down on paper how much a gift can earn you, therefore it’s useless, cut it!”

Hold your horses, think about all the times you have ever received a gift. Now think back on all the gifts you have received in your life: what are the odds that any of them are truly expensive? I’m sure most of you will probably recall that most of the time, your gifts do not trend towards the expensive side: only millionaires and nobilities get gifts of cars and houses. Most of us tend to receive gifts more along the lines of food, toys, clothes and stationery.

Indeed, notice that with those items, there is nothing stopping you from going to the shop and buying them yourselves. It clearly isn’t the monetary value of the gift that entices us, so why then do we still continue the tradition of gift giving?

We believe the answer is that the true gift is Goodwill. It doesn’t matter how valuable it is, recipients can sense your sincerity if you pick out a well-planned, thoughtful gift. The actual act of gifting is a symbolic ritual that strengthens your business ties together. This causes everyone to feel good and have positive thoughts towards each other, leading to a much more positive relationship.

While you certainly cannot reduce this down to monetary value on a spreadsheet like you can do in the business world, we believe that such feelings of Goodwill is much more valuable than any amount of money the world can buy. Therefore, the act of Corporate Gifting will continue to proceed through the future!

When do companies give out corporate gifts? Studies have shown that the most common time is as an end-of-year bonus, followed closely by special occasions and holidays.

What are some examples of such occasions to participate in Corporate Gifting? Let’s take a look.

Technology is such an important part of our life and therefore, the IT industry will always be a bustling, busy place where progress march onwards in order to make our lives and future brighter and better.

As such, let us take the time to commemorate our friends in the IT industry with some corporate gifts of our own. However, how do you know what’s hot and what’s not in this environment? Let us ponder on these choices:

Powerbanks: Some of you may more recognize these items as “external batteries.” Powerbanks are small, portable batteries that can be charged up beforehand and then used to power your electronic devices in the event that you are unable to utilize a traditional power supply. Most people in the IT industry have memories of when their laptop or cellphone’s battery flashed low when they really desperately need battery power. Well, now they can worry no more. A powerbank gift is a nice, practical gift to help them through emergencies.

Mouse: Quite possibly the most important and unique communication device to computers, a mouse is practically a must to get any work done. Could you imagine doing all your computer work using only a keyboard? It is a daunting task indeed! A good mouse gift will last someone a long time allowing them to get a lot of work done.

USB Drive: A very popular choice, everyone always needs more memory. Fill them with useful files, give them to your clients and let them put in their pockets to use for a long time. Being both cheap and practical, they are amazing gifts for those living in an IT World.

As important aspects of a company, employees are key to its success. Many companies spend more on corporate gifts for its employees than their clients, showing how important they are!

Obviously, there are some gifts that are considered more practical or thematic to having your employees receive. What are some good gifts for employees? Here are our picks.

Leather Portfolio: For employees who have a social job of networking with clients, presenting concepts and other such action, what could be more stylish and practical than a leather portfolio emblazoned with your company’s logo? At the same time it allows easy, convenient access and carriage of important documents, we consider this a fantastic choice.

Fountain Pens: The pen is mightier than the sword. Even in the age of computer and technology, there are some creative souls who still find greater inspiration flows from pen to paper rather than to a keyboard. Help them out by gifting them a solid, durable and fancy fountain pen and watch the creative juices fly!

Business Card Holder: In the world of business, the more you know, the more powerful you are. And what could be a greater source of information than people? A personalized Business Card Holder is just the thing for social employees who have great ambitions to work their way up the ladder and connect to powerful, affluent people!

Regifting is the act of taking a gift that you received from others, repackaging it and then gifting it to another person. It is a controversial topic in the world of Corporate Gifts – is it notsincere to take what is supposed to be a gift for you and utilize it to give someone else? Is it not rude, both from the person you receive it from and your new target? But numbers don’t lie – 70% or more people participate in the act of regifting.

Of course, the trick here is that there is no reason why your recipient should ever know that the gift you’re giving to him is originally from somewhere else! Separate from that piece of information and taken on its own context, a good gift is still a good gift!

To begin with, make sure you do not make any silly mistakes, such as leaving behind gift cards addressed to your own name or personalized aspects that would tie the gift to you. Those are dead giveaways! Any half-opened gifts should just be thrown out and not be considered, a half open tin of biscuits or perfume will probably come off as a personal insult.

Change the packaging – obviously, more wrapping paper tend to be “destroyed” when the gift is opened so this will probably need to be done anyway, but it can certainly help to disguise the regifting even more. Oh, and just to be safe, if there’s a chance that the gift could become a topic of conversation between the original two parties, it might be best not to do it at all. That is to say, if you receive a corporate gift from your boss, don’t regift it to your co-worker in the same office – things might get awkward.

In the end, use the Golden Rule: Don’t use others as your dumping ground for unwanted gifts, only regift if the gift choice would be something you would actually grant them as a normal corporate gift in the first place!

There are many practical reasons to give out corporate gifts. From building relationships, to rewarding the hard work of an employee and perhaps to commemorate special celebratory events such as promotions, retirements and project completion, giving out corporate gifts is an excellent way to build good will, raise morale and otherwise raise the effectiveness of your business.

However, sloppy execution in your distribution of gifts may lessen the effect. We believe the gift that you have chosen not only affects the receiver but also says a lot about your company. What will your clients think when they receive cheap, mass-produced gifts from your company? They would probably assume you think of them as equally cheap, replaceable tools to be thrown away!

Instead, show your sincerity in the process of gift-giving by putting in the effort to personalize and gift correctly. Here are some tips to do so.

 

Deliver the gift in person, using the right person for the task
Rather than simply handing them out in an impersonal, robotic manner, it will heavily raise the effectiveness of your gift if you deliver them with the right people, all at no cost. For example, a team leader handing a gift to his subordinate or a representative of the company gives a gift to her client. This can be done at absolutely no additional cost, so it’s a good method to use.

 

Customize your gift
When it comes to corporate gift in Singapore, items that look generic, a dime a dozen simply will not do! Through methods such as silkscreen, embossing or engraving, we are able to carve and imprint specialized phrases, initials and names onto corporate gifts. What could be much prestigious than receiving a leather gift embossed with your company logo and your personal initials on it? It would certainly be more exciting than simply receiving the leather bag as is straight from the shop! In addition, the customization will help spread word of mouth of your company, helping you gain more reputation through the industry.

Remember that if you require any assistance in personalizing and customizing your intended corporate gifts, we at Edmaro have the skills and talents to really showcase and bring out the nature of your company!
