For whatever event there may be, giving corporate gifts is a trend here in Singapore, and in different parts of the world. What they do not say is how difficult searching for the right one is.
We give corporate gifts to our workers, personnel, and employees to appreciate what they have been doing for the company. We know that it is a small thing, but it can make do for the thought for the meantime. However, while the right corporate gift can be difficult to find here in Singapore despite the surge of industries where you can buy gifts in wholesale, there truly are gift stores that you have just got to find.
We all want our gifts to be appreciated, even though it is just a corporate gift. Here are the guidelines on how to choose a good corporate gift:
1. Must be unique
We know that corporate gifts now have a template item to give. It is always a pen, a notepad, a t-shirt - and that is okay. The trick to it is how can you make it more fun, or more unique. How can it rise above the rest of other corporate gifts, especially when they have a stereotype of being sub-standard, cheap, and basically ugly? The key to this is to personalize, and to really choose something that is unusual, at the same time something that the recipients will use.
2. Must be reasonably priced
You might have exhausted all your resources on a good corporate gift, but you now lack the budget to buy enough for everyone. There are plenty of good things out there for corporate gifts that are not expensive. Some corporate gifts here in Singapore can even be bought below S$10. The trick to it is to just know the store to buy the gifts from.
3. Must be practical
Most recipients of corporate gifts are adults. Now, if your idea of gifting one is giving quality home decorations, expect that your net worth will truly be damaged. Consider giving corporate gifts that the recipients, who are your employees, staff, or colleagues, will find useful. This is so the gifts would not go into waste.
4. Must be durable
There still are things that are cheap, yet very durable. At all times, you must not sacrifice the quality when giving gifts. Especially when you want, and expect the recipients to use it, you might as well provide a corporate gift that is durable, or of high-quality. Not all high-quality gifts are expensive, mind you.
Here are just some of the tips when choosing the right gift for the important persons in your corporate space. Whatever the gift you would want to give, the thing that matters the most is the regard you hold in choosing, and considering each gift. What counts is the effort you put in weighing all the options you have. Of course, most important than giving the gift, itself, is the good deed and courtesy you show your employees with or without event. Kindness will always be a gift everyone would enjoy.
