Having trouble deciding on what your next corporate gift should be? Your not alone in this. Choosing what types of business gifts to hand out can be a frustrating and hard task that many of us struggle with. Mainly because choosing the right corporate gift can be very important. Getting it wrong will result in negative feedback for your company, not to mention the high cost involved. One good idea that will surely be a success is giving out Sports memorabilia.
This type of gift may not be suited to everyone; it goes over best when given to a sports fan. And you have to factoring in the cost as well. Sports memorabilia, nor matter if it is signed jersey, photos or other items, tend to be more expensive than your tradition corporate gift. However, giving out personal gifts such as sport memorabilia to a client/customer or employee has many benefits and just maybe worth the extra cost.
It also shows that you have taken a personal interest in what the client or employee likes (ie. sports). It shows a certain level of appreciation that can not be achieved with impersonal or general gifts. This can lead to greater loyalty and a willingness to work harder in building a successful business relationship.
Another benefit of sports memorabilia as gifts, is that they are unique gifts. Unique corporate gifts are special because they stand out and are remembered for a long time. These gifts are often discussed and chatted about to others. Providing your business with positive word of mouth. The more a company is talked about in a positive way, the more successful the company becomes.
Sports Memorabilia are also useful business gifts because the gifts do not get thrown away. Many corporate business gifts are not even used, or worst still, get thrown in the garbage a minute after it is received. Sports memorabilia may actually increased in value the longer you keep hold of it. So the odds are low that someone would throw it away. And beside, very few people throw away personal items they have a sentimental attachment too. Pens, calendars and other traditional corporate gifts have a very short shelf life when it comes their usefulness as business gifts. Sports memorabilia will last for years, if not decades. Providing a company with years of positive feedback. So if it is within a company’s budget, handing out sport memorabilia becomes a very worth while investment.
