Research Although there's hard evidence relating corporate gift giving to increased business activity, it won't exactly give you the confidence to make specific return-on-investment projections in your marketing plan. Chances are you won't be expected to come up with that kind of hard data anyway. The Promotional Products Association International conducts regular surveys of corporate gift givers and recipients. A recent one shows that vendors who gave were twice as likely to increase their chances of being contacted by customers as those that didn't have a gift program. Harry & David, a gourmet food company that's a big player in corporate gifts, routinely sends gift packages to some 25,000 customers who spend more than £500 a year with the company. Company research, comparing a control group of 5,000 prime customers receiving gifts with a similar group that didn't, revealed that the former increased their purchases by much more than the latter. Even if your company isn't up for that kind of research, it doesn't mean you can't have a strategy. As long as you do it right, gift giving will help to build the relationships that are the lifeblood of your business. Marketing Tips for Promotional Merchandise Market: • Personalized corporate gifts can include a company logo, name, address or an image and can be supplied in various colours.• Promotional items always come with some sort of promotional print that is another way of informing, communicating or getting your message across to your clientele. • Unique promotional items can be used in marketing of your company brand in order to increase the visibility of your company in the sector it operates. • Promotional logo merchandise is widely used by large, chain companies as a way of expanding and improving the brand. • You give away, you do not loose.
