On Your Mark, Get Set, Holiday!

Have you started planning your holiday promotional items and gifts yet?

 Sometimes it is easy to forget lead time and shipping time when deciding to send out gifts to your customers, or set up a promotional campaign for the holidays. If you have not really begun to think about your holiday gift giving and promotional products yet, here are some suggestions to help you choose the best products for your needs.

Customer Acknowledgments

One of the most common purposes for using promotional products during the holiday season is to send best wishes to your customers and thank them for their business throughout the year. If you do mostly business to consumer sales or service, you may simply choose to send a holiday greeting card, but if you do, you will be missing out on a great opportunity to promote and advertise your business. Even a gift as simple as a personalized calendar printed with your business name will keep your logo and business in front of your customer every day of the year.

Gifts for Your Staff

Many companies choose to give gifts to their professional and production staff during the holiday season. There are dozens of types of promo products that make excellent holiday gifts for any member of the staff.   Some popular gifts for employees are company jackets or sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch coolers, or winter beanie hats. Personalizing these gifts with the company name or logo makes them more valued as gifts - it's like saying, "You're part of the family".  Your sales force may appreciate a new laptop bag or travel accessory pack.

 Gifts for Corporate/Executive Customers and  Business Contacts

If your company chooses to give corporate or executive gifts to business contacts and corporate customers, Many of the best choices for holiday gift giving are promotional items that are meant for personal use.  There are many gifts that your clients will appreciate.   From knife sets, blankests, digital photo frames, wine sets, food gifts...we would love to give you ideas that fit your price range.

Holiday Promotional Items

Many businesses offer special promotional gifts at the holidays as sales incentives and gift rewards. These might include stress toys in the shape of holiday ornaments, Christmas trees and stars, or coffee mugs with a special holiday message to your customers. Coffee shops might choose to make an annual Christmas mug available during a limited period, for instance, and a confectioner might package their candies in a special promotional holiday tin. Whatever your reason for using promotional gifts during the holidays, you should be aware of time lines.
