The 2018 holiday season saw an increase in corporate gift-giving, as 10% of companies planned to spend more and give more than the year before. The trend is expected to continue this year, and companies planning to engage in employee and client gift-giving will want their gifts to bear imprinted logos.
When it comes to budgets, businesses spend an average of $48 per customer/prospect gift and an average of $65 on employee gifts. (1) These numbers show the valuable potential for upselling to a higher-end item or even adding attractive gift packaging.
So, what is the benefit to your client when it comes to gift-giving? It shows appreciation for their business and develops stronger relationships. Additionally, the right gift can boost good will, increase brand awareness and even generate leads. (2)
