Why use luxury corporate gifts?

Picture this. It’s time for your customers to renew their contracts. The missed revenue will be astronomical if something goes wrong. How do you subtly remind them that you appreciate and value their business?

One option is to use corporate gifting. It allows businesses to appeal to customers without asking for anything in return. This is shown to work because gifts are an excellent way to grab attention. It’s low-pressure, and yet it makes clients want to repay the favor (like returning your call, scheduling a meeting, or renewing their contract with your company).

Luxury corporate gifts, especially, are a powerful way for you to reward your employees, loyal business associates, or best clients by really standing out from the competition.

Whether you want to impress a new client, forge lasting relationships with loyal clients, or reward a long-time employee, a luxury gift is a must-have gesture.

How much should you spend on high end corporate gifts?

There is no set amount on how much to spend on luxury gifts. While a typical rule of thumb is anything over $100, there are still questions to ask before deciding on a luxury gift amount. When thinking of a recipient, be it a current customer, prospect, or employee, here are a few questions to ask when considering an appropriate budget for your luxury gift.For Clients:

• What is the value of the relationship?
• Is there a renewal, contract negotiation, or upsell opportunity coming up?
• What position does the client hold in the company?
• What gift-acceptance rules are in place at the customer’s company?

For Prospective Customers:

• What is your relationship with the prospect? Sending something too lavish, too soon might not be necessary (ie, it’s kind of like asking someone to marry you on the first date)
• Do you know your customer’s hobbies, tastes, or sports interests yet? (Again, thoughtful doesn’t need to be expensive. But also, there’s a fine line between thoughtful and you’ve done your research…and creepy)
• What action do you want your prospect to take? (Book a meeting, take your phone call, sit down over lunch? We have lots of successes in these areas with thoughtful gifts, versus luxury gifts)
• What gift-acceptance rules are in place at your prospect’s company?

For Employees:

• Are they celebrating a major work anniversary or retirement?
• Were they integral to a major project or company milestone?
• Did they go above and beyond on a project that you want to recognize at the highest level?

For All:

• How many gifts are you planning to give?
• What is the company’s privacy policy?
• Could the receipt of your luxury gift be misinterpreted? Make sure it is corporate-friendly and it communicates a strictly professional vibe.

Now that you’ve considered all the scenarios of your luxury corporate gifts, plan your budget. Put a monetary amount next to all your recipients, ensure there aren’t any gift-giving policies to be wary of, and put a date on the calendar of when you’d ideally like your recipient to receive their gift.Now to the fun part…deciding on the best luxury corporate gifts to send.
