Believe it or not…the time has come to start planning your holiday business gifts!
Already? Yep, already!
But what about Halloween? And Thanksgiving? I thought we shouldn’t think about the holidays until after Thanksgiving?
Nope. Not if you want to make sure you have plenty of time to choose the very best gifts, personalize them, get them ordered, allow for shipping time, and get them wrapped.
Phew!
So much to think about. But that’s why this Busines Gifting Guide will be exactly what you need to get ready for the busy holiday season. With gift ideas for your employees, loyal customers, holiday giveaways, your vendors and business partners, Think Quik has you covered with gifts for all the people in your business life.
Gifts for Employees
Your employees are key to your business operation. Show them how much you appreciate all they do with a personalized company gift. Branded apparel is a good choice (if you know their sizes). If not, try something like a branded satchel/computer bag or a beanie cap (if your employees are on the y0unger side. Place a gift card for the local coffee shop in each for a thoughtful and personalized gift.
Also, decorations for their home that they can display are wonderful gifts. Or plaques that show your appreciation with an engraved note. You can also pick items they will use in the office, such as branded padfolios and notebooks. There are also calendars you can choose from, and even snack pack caddies with all sorts of goodies and treats. Logo lunch boxes filled with all the essentials also make excellent gifts.
Gifts for Customers
Without your loyal customers, you wouldn’t have a business. If you are an online business, send a gift in the mail with their next purchase. If you have a storefront, let your customers pick an item from a holiday display you create.
What are some good gifts for your customers? You will want to pick items that reach a very broad audience and can be easily mailed, if needed. These items include pens, calendars with coupons, bookmarks, USB flash drives, and keychains. Plus, ordering a variety of items will ensure you have something for everyone.
Gifts for Vendors and Business Partners
Your vendors and business partners are key to your business success. Showing them how grateful you are for them brightens the holiday season for everyone. You can do this in many ways with lots of different items, from your own goods to personalized mugs filled with treats, stress relievers (since they help take the “stress” out of your business), personalized/branded gift baskets, and portable chargers or other items they can use while traveling.
Gifts for Giveaways
Hosting contests during the holiday season is always a fabulous idea. It draws people to your business, and contests are a ton of fun to plan. (Bonus that it gives you fantastic social media content.) Just make sure the gift is worth the time and effort for the entrant. Since it is the holiday season, customers may be expecting more than what they normally would get at a giveaway any other time of the year. Gift baskets featuring several different items from your business are always a crowd pleaser, and so are big-ticket items such as backpacks, hats, or clothing items. You can also give away gift certificates to your business inside a branded item. Some businesses opt to play off of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” theme.
