Quality rather than quantity
Must be able to be kept
Include the logo
Only for top clients
Unique, outside the box and something theyll want to keep

Hi
I can offer many ideas for you depending on budget, the type of industry ect. Some ideas:

BBQ sets with logo etched on box or handles.
Aroma reed defusers, with custom scent, logo silk screened on the bottle
Office fountain with logo etched in rocks that are in the fountain
For office, crystal water pitcher and glasses (logo etched on glass pitcher)
Golf balls in custom bag. Bag has logo. Give a special golf ball that is made of "safe" material that can be recycled.
Feel free to email me, and give more specifics, I can develop some more ideas. ConnectTheDotsAdvertising.com

Approach the head of departments, talk to employees and tell them what you do. They will tell you who to talk to. Talk to the contact, give a business card, and mail a letter to his/her office with additional business cards. This approach is time consuming but works well.

Compile a list of the offices, officers, phone no, addresses. Devise a monthly mailing about ideas for up coming events – January (Valentine day) – February (Easter), just examples and the timing may be late. Don’t forget that the Corporate company need to give a gift to its customers so the Corporation will be held in high esteem and sales will follow.

I like Sify.com. Never had a problem with their quality.Find them most reasonable.

indiatimes.com is also helpful, I hear.
have received gifts from there.

I have often been averse to bringing corporate gifts like notepads etc around outside of work because they can look cheap and gimmicky. To me I think it’s important for any corporate gift to be thoughtfully designed, even if the gift came from a generic factory. What do you think?

If you want your gift to represent your company image/brand then select a product that does just that you don’t have to spend a lot. If you have expensive taste then narrow your target and buy for your top clients. Or, consider tiering your gifts. Maybe spend $25 each on the most important clients, another tier @ $15 then maybe prospective clients $5.00 each. Believe it or not you can find a really nice laser engraved pen for $ 5.00 that looks like a $25 pen. Call www.promopeddler.com and explain what you would like to do, your budget and numbers. They’ll help you design a gifting program just right for your branding needs in the marketplace.

Sorry, Winterfest or whatever they are calling Christmas these days in Birmingham (UK).

Have you started receiving the crap corporate gifts yet? the calanders with pictures of nothing at all on them, the pens, the paperweights? I have received silly amounts all ready – and I got a month to go yet!!

Still, got a bottle of Jack Daniels from one of my suppliers so it ain’t all bad!

I live in Asia, where the corporate gifts are less function than pens and the like given in the West.

Nothing yet, but last year got:
1. A plastic paperweight of a fake piece of coal from an Indonesian coal logistics company. Oh, the irony in getting coal for Christmas.
2. A sample of soy-based laxative with four glass sipping cups and stirring spoon from a Chinese manufacturer (all with logos on them).
3. A wine opener, wine glasses and bottle stoppers from a guy who was indicted for stock fraud. Since they had corporate logos on them, I kept them because it’s cool because the corporate history.
4. A basket of local processed meats that made Spam looked good. Offered co-workers $50 to eat one sausage in one go. Nobody took me up.
5. Canned wine. Yup. Wine in a can. Came in a basket of salty snacks that only Asian do so well – curry flavored fried peanuts, prawn crackers, cuttlefish floss, deep fried broad beans and wasabi-flavored crisps.
6. A compass that didn’t work – from a shipping company.
7. A box of roasted cashews from India… those were actually pretty good.
8. A bottle of Chinese sorghum-based liquor that smell like a sewer and comes in a ceramic jug that is shaped like a cloth sack. Poured it down the drain… I’m a lush, but I’ll be da**ed if I drink that stuff (or canned wine).
9. A calendar from an Indian manufacturer of pigments that has 12 months of kidney health tips.
10. A 25 cm. plexiglass pyramid with a dragon etched inside using air-bubble injection.

Too weird to make this stuff up.

Our corporate gifts… day planners (with our corporate logo) on it.
