Choosing corporate gifts: budget, quantity and timing
For whom, for what and on what budget? Choosing products, quantity tiers and timing for new year, trade fairs and campaigns.
A good corporate gift is one that gets used, is remembered and tells your brand's story well. A few questions are enough to make the choice easier.
1. For whom and for what?
- Trade fair and event visitors: large quantities, low unit cost; products everyone uses, such as pens, tote bags, keyrings and notebooks.
- Customers and business partners: products used for a long time, such as flasks, power banks, quality notebooks or sets.
- Employees: welcome kits and new year gifts; T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and desk items.
- Executives: leather notebooks, pen sets, debossed or laser-engraved special items.
2. Budget: include the print
Add the print fee to the product price. On rixor, the fee of the method you choose is added on the product page according to quantity, so you see the per-unit price including print. Packaging and shipping are settled in the quote.
3. Quantity and tiers
Promotional product prices fall with quantity. If you are close to the next tier, increasing the quantity slightly can lower the unit price without changing the total much. The minimum quantity is shown on each product page, and you can split one print job across different colours of the same product.
4. Timing
Production time depends on the product and method; add proof approval and shipping to the time shown on the product page. For busy periods such as new year and major trade fairs, starting at least 3–4 weeks ahead is safe.
5. Usefulness and quality
An unused gift stays in a drawer. A useful, quality product keeps your logo visible every day. A few good products are often more effective than many ordinary ones.
