If you’re like most business owners and managers, you’re probably thinking the same thing you do every year...is it really worth giving out corporate gifts this holiday season? Should I even bother? It’s time-consuming, costly, and usually a bit of pain to organize.
Here’s the thing, though. Gifts are a simple way to show your team or clients that you care, and more importantly, that you appreciate them.
They say a happy team is the most productive team, and here at Made By Bees, we know that to be true. So, we’re sticking with it!
Here are the top 3 reasons to give a corporate gift this year (and every year).
1. It Will Raise Employee Morale
Your team works hard all year around—and for most companies, the end of the year (right before the holidays), is actually the busiest time. So, why not end things on a positive note? If nothing else, it will make them feel good about coming back and they’ll think and speak positively about their workplace during their time away.
2. It’s Less Expensive Than The Alternative...
Your employees need to see and hear that they are appreciated. It makes a difference in the quality of work you will receive from them day in and day out. Treat your people right and they will treat your customers even better.
Plus, when you think about it, a gift basket is less expensive than unhappy (and therefore, unproductive) employees and high turnover.
3. It Will Help Foster a Healthy Corporate Culture
You have the opportunity to nurture the relationships that exist within the realm of your business. It’s important that anyone that does business with you or works within your organization has a positive experience. A corporate gift is not going to change a negative work culture, but it could make a positive one (or a pretty good one) even better. A gift says “thank you” and implies that the relationship is valued and that it’s more than just a “transactional” business relationship. Which it should be.
And a meaningful gift at the holidays can set the tone for the upcoming year. So why not make it count?
