Giving corporate gifts to your clients, associates, or employees sets you apart and makes a lasting impression on the recipients. You don’t need a big budget to give thoughtful gifts. Let’s say you are giving corporate gifts to an office of folks who helped you grow your business throughout the past year or have helped support you in other ways; think of how best you can show your appreciation and if you feel that gift baskets are appropriate, here are a few tips to make your gifting easy. If the gifts are for your employees, you know them; they are your organization’s best assets! Give a gift basket you know they would enjoy with their family, like our Parkdale Basket.
Always have a budget in mind and stick with your budget. In most cases, gift baskets displayed online can be modified to lower or increase the value.
If you plan on sending corporate gift baskets but cannot afford to send individual gifts to each person in the office, choose a gift basket they can share, for example, the Manhattan Gift Basket or request a custom gift basket to be designed just for the occasion. Most gift basket shops or flower shops would happily accommodate your request. And custom designed gift baskets are one of the ways to stay within budget. If your recipient doesn’t have a sweet tooth, opt for a savoury basket with cheeses, flatbreads, crackers, chips, pepperoni, pates etc. Or, for a healthy choice, a Fresh Fruit Basket would do the trick.
Ordering early is another great way to save money on your gift baskets. It is hard to think of Christmas gift-giving months away from December, but it is worth the effort. You can save money by taking advantage of early bird specials and placing your gift basket order in September or early October. Ordering early also avoids disappointments with products which may sell out early. Take advantage of any volume discounts or corporate discounts offered.
Beware of premade gift baskets; they could have been made up months ago and sat in a warehouse before getting to the store. A freshly made gift basket is best!
