So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Build Client Loyalty Through Giving Gifts

By Billy Smith

While personal gift-giving to near and dear ones is an age old practice, few people are aware of the tradition of giving corporate gifts. Organizations show that they are appreciative to their patrons or staff by giving away corporate gifts.

These gifts are costly objects and they usually do not have any contribution in promoting the offerings of the organization, which means that they do not have any reference to the business. On the other hand, various gift items are often given away for promotional purposes, for example, stationery objects, USB drives, or books. In such cases, the gifts are often marked with the company's logo before they are distributed to workers or potential clients.

As in the case of any other gifts, the selection of a corporate gift also depends on the person to whom the gift is to be given. For a client, rare and expensive items are the norm, while standard items should be given to members of a particular team of employees.

The impact of the corporate gift on the rapport with a customer or an employee depends on how valuable the person perceives the gift to be. However, gift-giving is at times regulated by the law, so a confirmation with your legal department is recommended.

Before buying corporate gifts you should plan your expense, find out the number of gifts to be given, and look for good offers for a bulk purchase from the wholesalers. This is clearly more important in case of gifts to employees, especially if yours is a large-sized company. Ensure that you purchase enough so that every employee whom you wish to express gratitude towards by means of a corporate gift is included.

To sum it up, giving corporate gifts is an intelligent business practice, which helps you develop a closer and healthier relationship with both your employees and your clients. However, always make sure that it is allowed by law, and of course, by your finances.
