Many things have changed this year- the way we conduct business, receive education, and even how we celebrate accomplishments. However one thing that has not changed is the value of developing meaningful and long lasting relationships. Establishing a true connection, whether its with your team or your customers is still as important as it has ever been. As a business owner, end of the year promotions provide an opportunity to strengthen those relationships and serve as a vehicle to develop new ones. As we continue to observe social distancing protocols, consider sending out branded gifts as a way to build rapport with the public and spread cheer this upcoming holiday season!
Branded apparel products are effective tools for expressing gratitude at the end of the year. Due to their long lifetime, and ability to elicit emotional responses among recipients, this is a suitable option for an employee appreciation gift. Many businesses use the holidays as an opportunity to thank their teams for a job well done. Apparel is the perfect gift to show appreciation as they create a cohesive look which encourages team spirit beyond the workplace. For years after retirement, former employees can look back fondly at the years spent in an organization knowing that they were appreciated.
In terms of products you can gift your most loyal patrons, we suggest a higher end promotional item that will be kept and used for the years to come. We recently added the Fusion Puma Polo to our lineup, which is great for special occasions such as end of the year promotions. Use this as an opportunity to properly thank customers for their support, with a top quality performance shirt. It is stylish so it can be worn outside of work yet comfortable enough to keep them protected on the golf course.
Our Bamboo products also make great customer gifts for the holiday season. Our Coasters, Bread Cutting Board, and Cheeseboards are classic, elegant items that are laser engraved, ensuring your branding will last as long as the products do. As a bonus these come packaged in gift boxes making their presentation more appealing, and suitable for holiday gifts.
If you are looking for products that can be mailed inexpensively we have many options. With many of us currently working from home or shifting into a home office calendars will be especially useful for people looking for ways to optimize their productivity and stay on top of their tasks. Promotional wall calendars are a useful organizational tool that will help them make the most out of a home/work environment. Picture Frames, Keytags, and Scratchpads are other alternatives that make great additions to home offices and can be easily shipped for a low cost.
As the year comes to an end, take the time to thank everyone that has supported you throughout these unprecedented times. Companies will also use this time to reward employees for their productive efforts. Celebrate both clients and employees with personalized products as a way to continue fostering positive relationships with those who are a pillar to the success of your business.
