Running a small business from your own home brings with it a lot of challenges as well as a lot of fulfilment. One of these challenges might be how to make your business stand out in a crowd of larger corporate entities and encouraging customers to stick with you. One way to achieve this is to send customers fun and unusual merchandising gifts that will stick in their minds. Here are some ideas for fun gifts to help customers remember your small business.
Water bottle
More and more people are recognizing the important health benefits of staying hydrated by drinking at least two litres of water each day. However, with an increased awareness of environmental and sustainability issues, most people avoid single use plastic. As such, reusable water bottles have become something of a fashion statement, with different styles and designs available to suit any taste. With a branded water bottle, you will provide customers with a useful, value-rich gift that they will love to use. Use eco-friendly materials like bamboo and BPA free plastic for an attractive and sustainable water bottle that all your customers will want.
Box of chocolates
Most people love the indulgent taste of chocolate, especially luxury Belgian chocolates. Give your customers high-end corporate chocolate gifts with a box of luxury branded chocolates. Use elegant and robust packaging that will survive mailing and incorporates your company logo and other branding, such as colour scheme. Then, choose a selection of delicious and unique chocolate flavours for your customers to enjoy; gianduja, peanut butter jam, and cardamom, for instance, are all sure to get your customers’ mouths watering. To make your corporate chocolate gifts extra special, you could even put your logo in edible form on top of a chocolate for a truly unique gift.
Stationery
Stationery, such as notebooks, pens, and pencils, make classic corporate gifts. You could make your branded stationery really stand out by focusing on quality materials with attractive designs, for a complimentary gift that customers will love to use. For example, when creating branded notebooks, consider the type of paper used: look for high quality recycled paper, as cheap paper will cause ink to bleed through the pages. For branded pens, look for an elegant and ergonomic design that will feel nice to hold and write well, rather than a flimsy plastic ballpoint that will easily break or dry up.
Clothing
Branded clothing is a great opportunity if your small business has an attractive logo; For instance, microbrewery and beauty parlour logos usually look great on a t-shirt or hoody. Consider the fabric used for your branded clothing. Natural fibres like cotton are always best as these are breathable allowing for good body temperature regulation and when sustainably sourced are kinder to the environment than man-made fibres like polyester. You could also consider having male and female lines, as t-shirts made for women are usually more fitted and flattering to the female body.
