Christmas is a great opportunity for you to show your appreciation and gratitude to your clients and customers. But, how can you make sure that the Christmas gift you send will have the impact you are looking for? What is going to make your client feel valued and, at the same time, ensure they get something they actually want?
We believe the best Christmas gifts strike the right balance between brand relevance and personal consideration. It’s about thinking about your client, as well as your business. Let’s explore exactly what clients look for in a festive gift and why a Christmas hamper might be just the answer.
does gifting really make a difference to client relationships?
Good business is built on good relationships. And whilst our interactions and customer service speak volumes throughout the year, Christmas is the perfect time to truly nurture those relationships. Thoughtful corporate Christmas gifts can genuinely reflect how much you value the partnership and collaboration. It also fosters long-term client retention.
We genuinely believe that strategic corporate gifting can bring about a significant ROI. However, the key to this often lies in knowing exactly what your clients will appreciate and tailoring your Christmas gift choice accordingly.
what clients want in a Christmas gift
Put yourself in your clients’ shoes. Whilst it’s nice to be appreciated, choosing any old Christmas gift is sure to miss the mark. In fact, arguably, it’ll do more harm than good. So, how can you strike the right balance and choose a Christmas gift your clients will actually want and savour?
add the personal touch
The days of mass-produced, logo-covered "merch" are luckily behind us. A corporate gift plastered with branding just suggests that the gift is more about you than the client.
Make the client feel like the gift was chosen specifically for them, even if complete personalisation or individual gifts is not feasible. As an example, bespoke Christmas hampers allow for this personal touch. You can select items based on taste experiences, beverage preference and dietary requirements. We also offer the opportunity to add personalised gift messages, evidence that you know exactly what you are gifting and to whom.
ensure usefulness and ‘re’-usefulness
Gifts that are practical and considerate are always appreciated. A gift, such as a Christmas hamper, is filled with consumables that can be enjoyed at just the right time of year. You can also get pamper hampers which encourage self-care. Both types of gift show the thought you have given to your choice. The people you are buying for become more than ‘just clients’.
In addition, our packaging, including our signature gift boxes and wicker baskets, make great reusable items for storage and home decor. Again, being considerate about how clients will use a gift is important.
consider the sustainability of your choice
More than ever, clients care about environmental responsibility. It is important to be eco-conscious with your choice of gift.
Take the time to look in to the credentials of your gift supplier. Do they work sustainably? Do they care about their carbon footprint? Is the supply chain ethics and eco-friendly too?At hampers.com, we do.
Considering this on your clients’ behalf is a great way to go that extra step in ensuring you offer a Christmas gift clients want and appreciate. In addition, you can feel reassured your gift choice aligns with your values too.
