Whether you’re starting a new role or returning to the office after a long year of restrictions, transitioning back to the old way of doing things will feel more like a new schedule rather than returning to a normal routine. Let’s face it, there are people who are eager to return, while others will have a harder time adjusting back to an office setting after getting used to working from home. In either case, as a business owner there are ways you can ease your team or clients back into their work environment. One way is through branded gifts, which not only allow you to create a positive experience for recipients, but also do a great job at keeping your branding visible, especially when you incorporate products from different categories to create a one of a kind bundle!
To get your team back in the flow of things, it is beneficial to include products in your bundle that allude to the importance of schedules, deadlines and organization. Calendars are great for this purpose as they serve as a gentle reminder that time is precious, particularly when dealing with meetings, product launches or anything that is time sensitive for your business. Formal apparel such as dress shirts and polo shirts will be appreciated by team members as they will surely be in need of some office attire after a year of working from home in sweats and a t-shirt. You may also include one of our many lunch bags in your bundle as a way to get them back into the habit of packing a lunch, something they probably forgot how to do.
On this list, we also have products that can be bundled together to help your team increase productivity. These are products that can be universally used by anyone working in an office setting, and even make great additions to your workspace at home, for those with hybrid schedules. Notebooks, mouse pads and writing instruments can be used by a wide range of recipients for their day to day tasks, and will also be useful for students or teachers returning to class. Inexpensive to send out via mail, you can use these products to reach a great number of individuals.
Another great quality about branded gifts is that they have the ability to motivate your team and keep them focused, when personalized with your logo. Working from home, at times you feel like a one person army dealing with a number of issues. In order to reignite the flame of teamwork and company culture, welcome everyone back with matching laptop bags, water bottles and jackets for the fall. These products are great for commuters as it keeps your logo visible in public, while reminding them they are part of a great organization. Achieving a uniform look across your company is one way to make employees feel valuable and increase team morale.
Take this opportunity to create a unique promotion that draws on the positivity of businesses reopening and celebrates the idea of returning to normalcy. In many cases going back to the office may look a little different than prior to the pandemic. Ease them into the changes with branded gifts that reinforce your appreciation for your audience.
