Like the old saying goes, “It’s better to give than to receive.” And while that might be a cliché, in business, there are truly unending perks to corporate gifting. There’s no better way to keep your company top-of-mind with valuable clients, and studies have shown employee gifting could boost annual profits by $2,400 per employee, according to The Work Foundation’s report.

Corporate gifting boosts brand recognition, generates positive associations with your business and, in the case of employee gifts, improves corporate culture. Currently, corporate gift trends revolve around personalization. Businesses need to show their clients they can go the extra mile and that they care about them on a personal level. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase a company’s branding.
