Corporate Holiday Gifts: One Size Does Not Fit All



An article published today in The Globe and Mail encourages businesses and organizations to think about their clients when purchasing this season's corporate holiday gifts. We agree that a "blanket approach to gift-giving" is not always an appropriate solution to the conundrum of choosing products to distribute to your clients, but what's the stress-free alternative? We've combined insight from The Globe and Mail with our own expertise to give you some worry-free tips to help make your corporate holiday gifts decision easier this year:
  • Divide your clients into categories based on a couple of main factors – for instance, how much they spend, the extent of your relationship, or the influence they may have on your company in the future. Assign gifts for each of these categories.
  • Think of clients as people, not corporations. You or someone in your company knows someone in their company. Consider their personality, gender, age, etc. – all factors that would influence how you choose a gift for a friend or relative.
  • If your gift is going to a group of people, send something that everyone can enjoy together. Customized cookies or food platters, office decor, and apparel are all great options.
Good luck, and happy holidays!
