subject: How To Personalize Promotional Gifts [print this page] If you are offering promotional gifts to potential and existing clients, personalizing them can be a nice touch. However, many people may wonder how to go about doing this in an affordable way. It is not hard, if you use some creativity. Here are a few ideas that you can use to make the promotional gifts you are offering a little more personal.
Print Or Engrave Names On Items
Some companies will allow you to print or engrave a name on the promotional gifts you are ordering. This can work well, especially if you are ordering a smaller number of items at one time and you know who will be receiving them. If you do want to go this route, find out what costs will be added on and decide whether that will fit your budget. If you are ordering a larger number of items, consider having the printing or engraving performed after they arrive.
Choose Gifts That Suit The Recipients
This can be expensive but it does not have to be if you choose carefully. Consider choosing gifts that reflect the recipient's tastes or the work that they do. For example, if you know that your client enjoys golf or other sports, consider getting items that you know they will use and appreciate. If possible, choosing items that are inexpensive will make it easier for you to order more than one type of promotional gift to offer customers and potential clients.
Consider Packaging Gifts Together
If you are ordering multiple gifts, think about ordering ones that follow a common theme. A good example is desk gifts. You can always order printed mouse pads, note pads and pens or other writing implements. Then, you can package several of these items together. This can also tailor your gifts for different recipients. If, for example, you know that one person uses a computer more frequently, you can always put more computer-related gifts into their gift basket. Someone who does more work with a pen and paper may lean more towards appreciating a quality writing implement and a unique or easily portable note pad.
There are ways that you can personalize the promotional gifts that you are offering without adding to the cost of the gifts themselves. If you keep notes about promotional gifts that you have received in the past you will be able to look over them and choose items similar to the ones that stood out for you. This can be a great way of ensuring that your gifts are well received by the people you are giving them to.
