Top Corporate Gifts for Clients to Seal the Deal
Branded promotional products are much more than just a freebie to give out at trade shows and conferences. They also make ideal corporate gifts for clients and employees when onboarding or as a reward for loyalty, giving your company a positive reputation with clients and staff, both present and future.
When using branded products as corporate gifts, it's important to get the type of product right to make the best impression on your clients.
Our Top Corporate Gift Ideas
Promotional items are always on the minds of your marketing team, but when it comes to corporate gifts you need to ensure the gift of choice aligns with your company's ethos and industry.
We've broken down our corporate gifting ideas into groups that match your ethos or industry so you can easily upgrade your merchandise for clients and employees.
Eco-Friendly Business Gifts for New Clients
Selecting eco-friendly corporate gifts demonstrates your company's commitment to sustainability, which can significantly appeal to clients.
By offering thoughtful and environmentally conscious gifts, you not only make a strong first impression but also enhance your brand's reputation.
This approach to corporate gifting clearly communicates that your business prioritises social responsibility, which can help to foster meaningful and lasting relationships with clients.
Here are some of our favourite eco-conscious corporate gift ideas…
Whether you want to gift an Ecosip Travel Mug for long commutes or share your marketing items with new clients with our Twister Go Wood dual USB drive, we've got something that combines sustainable giveaway materials with your logo or slogan.
Of course, travel mugs don't have to be made from wood to be eco-friendly. Gifting new clients with sleek stainless steel travel mugs, like our Brew range, which keeps beverages hot or cold for up to 8 hours, cuts down on single-use coffee mugs.
