More Information On Personalized Holiday Giveaways
|
|
The holidays are a time to celebrate togetherness and a common good,
and during this aura of goodwill is a great time to reach out the
employees, clients and prospective clients. Personalized holiday giveaways are an inexpensive way to say “thank you” during the season of giving. Any company can give its employees a certificate for a ham or turkey, but outstanding companies realize that a personal touch goes much farther. Not that the ham or turkey isn’t a great thing - most employees are happy to receive theirs once or twice a year. But a small, personalized holiday giveaway like a gift basket suited to particular interests shows each employee that you value them as an individual and not just numbers or labor output.
Holiday cards are a nice gesture, especially from companies on a tight
budget or those with numerous employees and clients in different
locations. Even sending a card (not an email) demonstrates that you value the relationship you have with individual people, especially if you take the time to sign it and include a personal message.
Most organizations have holiday parties, which is a perfect time to
include personalized holiday giveaways. Goblets bearing the date or the
event or a handwritten card with a small gift attached demonstrates to
your workers that you know them on a more personal level. Gifts that take time to make such as homemade fudge and other food gifts are great ways to show recipients that you personally put some of yourself into making sure they have a happy holiday.
Giving personalized holiday giveaways to clients and prospective
clients can also reap great rewards. The holidays are times when the market is flooded with companies trying to lure in business by giving away countless impersonal objects like pens, rulers, generic fruit baskets and other items. While these are generally useful gifts, clients are much more appreciative of a gift that says you took the time to get to know them and reach out to them personally instead of providing the with the same gift that 30 other prospective clients have already received. The gifts need not be overly expensive - a hand-picked selection of cheeses, a bottle of wine or other handmade gift still sends a personal message.
Larger companies may feel overwhelmed at the prospect of giving
something personal to each and every client and employees, which could number into the tens of thousands. Although gift cards get a bum rap as being totally impersonal and even an insult, they don’t have to be. A simple email questionnaire to find out each employee’s favorite store or type of merchandise is inexpensive and easy to execute - then simply take that input and order a gift card suited to each person. Employees will feel like you took the extra time to ensure they received something they could use and that it’s something they wanted.
Gift cards can be made personal and homemade items, from smaller
companies, make the holidays feel a bit warmer - as long as the workplace operates like a large family, employees, and thereby employers and clients, will enjoy a great sense of pride in the company.
