Gift Bags

A nice packaging alternative to imprinted ribbons are custom gift bags. Having your name printed on the gift bag helps clients remember who gave them your corporate gift without putting your name directly on the product. Gift bags also give your company name a greater chance of being seen by people besides your gift recipient because the bag can be used for a variety of other carrying purposes.

Imprinted Ribbons

While embossing and direct imprinting are customary ways of branding corporate gifts and promotional products, some of your top clients might prefer a gift that didn't have your company name and logo right on the product. Nonetheless, it's still important for your company name to be seen on your corporate gift; otherwise your clients may fail to visually associate the gift with your company. In this case, imprinted ribbons are the way to go. With some creative packaging, you offer clients the same gift with your company name on full display while giving them the option of removing your company name. Although your company name might not be on the product all of the time, it's that first look at the packaging and the removal of that ribbon that will remind your clients of their strong relationships with your company.

Baby Gift Sets

Companies typically dread it when their employees submit requests for maternity or parental leave because they'll be losing a valuable staff member for an extended amount of time. While your company may be affected by the temporary absence of an employee, you can take this opportunity to fortify your relationship with that employee with promotional baby gifts to support them through such a meaningful time in their lives. Gifts like imprinted rubber ducks, embroidered baby blankets, and custom infant clothing will show your employees that you care about them and their families. Seeing your company name on or near their child will constantly remind them of your company's caring gesture, and make them even more committed when they return to work.

Fla-Vor-Ice Frozen Ice Pops

Before the summer comes to an end, companies can use promotional Fla-Vor-Ice frozen ice pops as a fun internal promotion to boost office morale and bring a little joy to hard-working employees. It's a great treat that will remind them of their childhood summers. Just remember that with assorted flavors like Blue Raz, Lime, Grape, and Cherry, you shouldn't be giving them away to staff members right before an important client meeting.

Travel Earbuds

Whether your employees and clients are traveling, working, or exercising, they always seem to be listening to their iPods and mp3 players nowadays. More often than not, the wires on their headphones become a tangled mess and a pain to deal with after a while. Your company can offer a simple solution to this problem by giving away imprinted retractable travel ear buds. These are great items to include in bundled corporate gift packages, and they can also be used to reinforce the idea that your company has kept up with the demands of an increasingly technology-dependent generation.

Calendar Season

You probably think that it's too early to be thinking about holiday gifts and 2010 calendars, but the promotional calendar season is upon us again. Companies looking for a great way to show their appreciation for their clients and get a nice return on their thoughtful holiday gift should opt for calendars this year. A Promotional Products Association Intenrational (PPAI) study showed that firms who sent out calendars as gifts saw a 5% increase in business with calendar recipients and that 85% of individuals who received promotional calendars at home do business with the firm advertised on the calendar.

The varieties are endless with calendars too. Companies can select custom wall calendars, personalized desk calendars, or branded planners to achieve their marketing goals. Everyone needs a calendar in their life, and your company can easily give them one.

Cap & T-Shirt Combo

If you're stuck on corporate gifts ideas for clients, branded cap & t-shirt combos are generally a popular giveaway with recipients. Giving away a matching set shows that your company has considered every fashion-oriented aspect of your gift, and when your clients wear both items together, it shows others how much faith and confidence your clients have in your company's products and services. If you're looking to add a little more to your gift, you can always use the fill the cap with tons of small promotional goodies, such as imprinted pens, promotional USB Flash Drives, logoed keychains and custom stress balls.

Coffee Cup Set

While promotional travel mugs have been a hot corporate giveaway with companies taking the eco-friendly route in recent years, coffee lovers in any office will appreciate an imprinted coffee cup set to take home. While travel mugs are ideal for morning commutes, coffee cup sets give recipients the luxury of sipping on their morning coffee at home as they enjoy their time away from the office. It's a classic alternative to the on-the-go mug for the modern businessperson.

Picnic Sets

Despite this summer's uncooperative weather, there are still a few weekends to take advantage of the warm summer weather. If your company is looking for a way to show off its family-oriented side, you can encourage your employees to take their families to their local parks and enjoy a quiet weekend picnic with a promotional picnic set. Not only will your employees love this gift because of its high perceived value, but it will get you tons of bonus publicity from other people passing by their picnic sets.
