Global Resources Offers Tips for Gift Giving in the Workplace

CHICAGO - Dec. 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Global Resources is a full-service business development group and general management consulting firm focused on small and medium-size privately-held companies in North America. During the holiday season, we know many business owners face the challenge of corporate gift giving.  Although many professionals face this problem during the holiday season, there are a few tips to ensure that client gifts are appropriate and memorable.

• Check your holiday gift list - There's nothing worse than forgetting someone at a firm who has been a crucial part of your client relationship, so it's very important to double-check your gift list. Consider including every individual who has played an important role in your business, or send a business-wide gift that everyone in the office can enjoy.

• Decide on the perfect gift - Determine whether you want to send a more standard gift, like a basket of gourmet candy, or if you're going to tailor your gifts to each client. One unique, personalized gift idea is a small donation to your client's charity of choice. If you decide to send the same gift to each client, avoid cliché gifts, like pens and notepads. Whether you send a standard or custom gift, including a handwritten note or holiday wish shows attention to detail and tells your client that you care about them.

• Perfect timing - Gifts and cards can get lost in the mix in the week or so before Christmas, so sending them early will ensure that they get noticed. Some firms choose to skip the holiday season entirely and send their cards or gifts after the New Year.

• Go digital- Sending cards online may not have as much impact as cards sent by snail mail, but many businesses are considering their environmental impact and going digital for the holidays. People appreciate companies that are environmentally conscious, and choosing to skip physical gifts shows your dedication to conservation.
