You have been in business for a long time. When it is time to give a corporate gift, you have a stockpile and automatically send it out. How many calendars, day planners, wine gift baskets, have you sent without even thinking of the consequence?
You cannot reach the number of people with corporate gifts as you can with television, radio, newspaper and the Internet. But that is not their reason for existance. The reason to give them is for people to not only remember you, but have a certain emotional feeling about you. The right corporate gift, will do just that.
Much reseach has revealed that the nature of the gift itself is not just important but pertinent. If it is something that does not give the receiver a good feeling about you, the cost or how elaborate the gift is is a moot point. A wrong gift can mean an ex-client or customer.
Humor is a healer and major corporations know this. They pay big bucks to bring in a humor consultant to teach major executives how to use this tool to motivate each other and employees. It works in the gift-giving arena as well.
Humor is far more important than you might imagine for a life-long relationship with your client. And there is no better way to purvey that humor than a corporate gift that sits in front of the client on a daily basis.
Giving a humorous corporate gift that that is a theme gift will pack a punch that goes a long way, creating loyalty, word of mouth, and even a community, generally of people who want to know you and where you got the gift.
The proof is in the pooding. Most don't believe it until they do it.
What if you own or are partner or employee of a law firm. For years you have given the same staid gifts to your clients. Why not try a professionally-drawn law-related cartoon on a coffee gift basket. Yes believe it or not there are legal-related themed gourmet coffee gift baskets. We know because we invented them and they are only around $40. We know of others, selling the same gourmet beans as non-cartoon gift baskets for $60-$80 with no personalization. We even personalize the basket for only $2 giving the law firm's name and web address. It includes an oversize coffee mug and four coasters, all with an award-winning law cartoon, five flavors and blends of gourmet coffee from the best farms worldwide. It is high quality and does not sit around like coffee does ground at chains, the staleness hidden with flavors.
Coffee baskets are not the be all end-all. Why not a cartoon trivet or porcelain plate? I prefer the desk clock, it is less expensive, and your name and URL appears in front of them every time they look at the clock. You can do this with coffee mugs, aprons, hoodies, framed tiles, Christmas ornaments, and so many other gift ideas, all at the best funny corporate gift shops. There are several on the Internet. I own one that sells almost 100,000 items in 23 different categories.
Our manufacturer, 3drose, is one of the oldest and largest powersellers on Ebay, with a 99.4% positive feedback rating and over 11,000 transactions. This is almost unheard of in this day and time at any auction site.
3drose showcases our products at Shopping.com, Amazon.com, Shop.com and many of the other shopping channels. Or you can order from Londons Times Superstore or LTSuperstore as we call it for short or even 3drose own site. The price is the same, great quality and customer service, and everything is expedited and shipped worldwide within 24 hours.
There is a special psychology behind giving a gift of laughter that portrays your name and URL. The client or potential client cannot help but feel good every time he/she sees your name.
