"Another branded pen. Oh wow, how exciting,” said no one ever. We’re just as tired of corporate gifts and swag that feel expected. There’s nothing fresh and exciting about handing out branded notepads at an industry conference. But we get it. Inching out of your comfort zone to try something new can be scary and a little intimidating. Sending out a flash-in-the-pan fad item (we’re looking at you, branded fidget spinners) can feel equally cringe-worthy as a dated giveaway.  Wanna know the trends that are more “here to stay” than “here today, gone tomorrow?”    Here are the lasting trends driving corporate gifting in 2024 and beyond.

The art of gifting is in the specifics and uniqueness. Here are some tips for choosing the perfect corporate end-of-year gifts: Start by thinking about your recipients. What are their interests? What do they need or want? The more specific you can be, the better. Don't be afraid to get creative. There are endless possibilities when it comes to corporate gifts. You don't have to stick to the usual suspects like gift cards or baskets of food and drinks. Consider your budget and timeline. It's important to be realistic about how much you can spend and how much time you have to shop and plan. Get personal. The best corporate gifts are the ones that show that you care about your recipients. A handwritten note or a personalized gift goes a long way. Let's find that bespoke gift for you. https://lnkd.in/gHeHxnfe #gifting #corporategifts #endofyeargifts #thoughtfulgifts #uniquegifts

"Most – if not all – of the marketing swag we collect at conferences and trade shows ends up in the landfill. If that’s the destination for 40 per cent of Christmas gifts – presumably bought with intention and of higher value than corporate swag – then surely the figure for swag is higher. Almost all of it is cheap, useless and unnecessary." For business leaders and marketers, this is worth reading. Organizations realize very little value from their often-huge expenditures on corporate swag. My own peeve is about the rise in branded lanyards in gift bags: things that almost no one needs or uses. There are so many better-value alternatives that have much greater brand benefit. For example: 1) Give something consumable: e.g., delicious snacks, procured from local and/or minority-owned vendors. 2) Offer an experience: a creative photo opportunity that will delight participants and drive social media sharing. 3) Give fewer people something worthwhile: Think of buying 50 wool scarves for your best customers or employees, rather than 500 lanyards for near-strangers. The key is giving something your key clients will keep and value. The unit cost will be higher, but the total cost can be the same or less.
