It is widely known that there are as many corporate gift-giving customs as there are business cultures. It doesn’t take that much to improve morale in the company as well as keeping the clients happy. However, when considering what gifts to give either company personnel or to corporate clients, it must be recognized that the timing of gift-giving is just as important as the gift itself.Â
Please wait...
Corporate gift-giving has played a vital part in business culture for many years. These days, branded gifts can improve morale and help employees feel like part of the team, as well as encouraging customers to identify with your brand.
Â
When it comes to choosing the right corporate gifts for your clients or employees, you also need to keep in mind your own business goals: are you hoping to provide an incentive for an upcoming project, or would you like to promote your services to a coveted client? If so, any old promotional gift won’t cut it. You will need to find a useful item that the recipient will truly appreciate, while ensuring your business makes an excellent impression.
Â
At DiscountMugs, we know that every business is unique. That is why we provide an extensive range of corporate gifts and custom items, all of the highest possible quality. Our items are made here in the USA using durable, long-lasting materials and customized with our state-of-the-art printing equipment.

Benefits of custom personalized corporate gifts
Â
There are many benefits to corporate gift-giving, whether you’re presenting your custom items to clients, employees or prospects. These include:
Â
Â
Which personalized corporate gifts should you choose?
Â
We stock a range of custom gifts to meet all your business needs, including Weekly Time Manager Triumph Calendars, Personalized Ceramic Mugs for the office, Personalized Business Card Holders, Custom Bluetooth Keyboards and more. These can be extended as holiday gifts, welcome presents, or gifts to celebrate an achievement or promotion.
Â
With so much choice, it can be difficult to know which corporate item to choose. Luckily, we’re here to help. Here are some pointers to help you decide:
Â
Get the relationship right
Â
Like everything in business, there is a proper etiquette for giving corporate gifts, and you should approach it from a place of goodwill rather than trying to get something in return. A corporate gift such as a Personalized Bluetooth Keyboard, Martini Glass or Personalized Mug is the perfect reward for a job well done, while clients will appreciate a branded Promo USB Flashdrive or a Time Manager Triumph Calendar as a holiday gift.
Â
The key is not to go overboard, and not to look like you’re trying too hard to get business. Selling to another business is different from selling to a consumer, so you should try to focus on improving the relationship and be subtle in your approach.
Â
Which type of gift should you choose?
Â
The gift that works for your recipient will depend on a number of factors – namely their place within (or alongside) the business and their relationship to you. However, a smart piece of advice is to focus on non-gender specific gifts, such as personalized pens, mugs, keychains, USB drives, and candy.
Â
You may also want to consider the religion and dietary requirement of the recipient, which is why it’s always best to avoid giving alcohol or food. It’s better to extend a coffee mug or special personalized glass that the person can use with a drink of their choice.
Â
When should corporate gifts be given?
Â
Corporate gifts can be given at any time, especially when they’re used to reward employees for doing a good job. However, beware that if you are extending these gifts to prospects or clients, you want to get the timing right so that they don’t think there is an ulterior motive. You don’t want your act of goodwill to look like you are trying to buy someone’s business.
Â
Instead, plan your timing carefully. Consider when it an appropriate time to build on your relationship with your client, like during the holidays or to congratulate them on a recent achievement. You can print your gift with a personal message to let them know the intention of the gift, or attach a greetings card.
Â
How should you customize the gift?
Â
We have a range of customization methods available, from full-color printing to laser engraving. The imprint method you choose will depend on the nature of your gift and the materials used, but we always print everything in-house to ensure the highest quality finish on all of our products.
Â
Using our online design lab, it’s easy to upload your logo or design, or else you can choose from our catalog of images and fonts. Whether you want to share a personal message or send a branded gift to a client, we can help you create something entirely unique.
