Showing Appreciation with the Gift of a Plant

Corporate Gifting

What is Corporate Gifting?

Corporate gifting is a thoughtful act whereby a business or company gives gifts to staff, clients, customers, or prospects as a sign of appreciation or a good gesture. Corporate gifting creates a touchpoint with others to show how much they mean to the company or business. Sometimes corporate gifting can be extended to the families of these people.

Corporate gifting can take any form but the more meaningful or thoughtful gifts are appreciated. Many times businesses like to physical item, edible treats, personalized items, or non-physical gifts like airfare experience or tickets to see a game or concert. We believe that plants show both an appreciation and concern for wellness of staff or business partners that is unmatched by any other items.

Why is Corporate Gifting an Important Practice?

Have you ever received a gift from a loved one or a stranger that was an unexpected surprise? Think about how it made you feel. The unexpected gifts bring joy, happiness and excitement unmatched by the run of the mill or typical gifts. That is the goal of our corporate gifting program! Receiving a gift is a pleasant experience that creates a deep sense of appreciation and connection for both the giver and the receiver. These connections are expected to create a better and more positive association between the company and the individuals.

Companies are now relying on the power of gifting to secure stronger relationships with employees, existing customers, and potential ones. Also, they use it to show appreciation for their businesses and loyalty. Some companies are leveraging the power of gifting in their staff retention efforts. To make their employees feel welcome and appreciated. Corporate gifting can be highly effective in customers satisfaction and generate impressive ROI

For potential customers, gifting can motivate and help convince them to bring their business to your company because they already have a sense of belonging and feel appreciated. People are more likely to do business with companies that offer personalized experiences or custom-based services. So if you send the right gift at the right time, it can be the motivation the prospect needs to take the desired action.

When you give existing customers gifts, you are letting them know that they are appreciated and valued. This action will encourage them to bring more businesses and even become your brand ambassador, referring other business associates.

Corporate gifting shouldn't be for outsiders alone; it should start with employees. Employees are the powerhouse behind any successful company. Employees should be rewarded from time to time like hitting milestones and completing sprint to make them feel appreciated and give their best for desired outcomes. Getting holiday gifts is also a work perk that many look forward to.
