Frame your success
Offices and workspaces look a lot different now that so many people are working from home or on a hybrid schedule. But you can’t go wrong with a classic promo. Jacki recommends branded photo frames and clocks as ideal promotional gifts because they provide a personal touch to workspaces while still reminding them of your brand. “This applies to vendors, customers and anyone else on your business gift list,” she said.
Go for the natural look with a wood frame or an elegant and contemporary feel with a beveled glass frame. The Gala Jade Clock is an impressive choice that looks more like an award than a timepiece.
Office goodies are fun and productive
These office tools are useful and effective. “Supply your team with the tools needed to accomplish business goals,” Jacki advised. “Pass out these practical desk gifts to associates, ensuring your logo will stay with them long term.”
Help them be prepared for anything with the Mini Office Kit. It has everything they’ll need, including a stapler, adhesive notes, paper clips, rubber bands and a whole lot more! Or hand out the Stationery Box Set that includes a mini notebook, pen and various office supplies. A dry erase board is a handy branded gift they’ll use in the office or at home to jot down to-do lists or keep track of projects.
Office upgrades add an elegant touch
Show gratitude to hardworking employees and loyal customers with upscale and trendy items. “Give a little extra to your deserving staff and customers this year because that’s what they do for you,” Jacki said.
The impressive Langley Business Gift Set includes a sleek rollerball pen with stylus, a metal business card holder with leatherette lid, and metal keyring with leatherette strap. Your laser-engraved imprint is on all three pieces. Or take the minimalist approach with the Bamboo Wireless Charger with Dry Erase Board. The charger works with Qi®-enabled devices. Your laser-engraved imprint on top is a constant reminder of your brand.
Give their workspace a fresh look with the Cornell Executive Desk Organizer. It features a pen/pencil holder, memo pad, photo frame and two accessory compartments. It folds into a clever cube for gift-giving magic.
Affordable everyday essentials
Promos that are used frequently get a lot of attention, which keeps your brand top of mind. “Hand these out to your customers, or reach potential clients at a trade show with these giveaways that provide a lasting reminder of your company and services,” Jacki advised. Stay on budget and make them smile for months to come with thoughtful logoed swag they’ll use.
A pocket magnifier with 3x magnification can help them read fine print or find lost items. Your customers and vendors can tuck it in a pocket, purse, briefcase or desk. The classic Letter Opener makes quick work of envelopes. Your logo is front and center, and all your clients can get one without breaking your budget.
