Why Corporate Gifting Is Critical
Corporate gifting is basically a reflection of your company’s vision and culture. When done right, it creates a rich and lasting impression. From holidays to employee onboarding to deal closing, a personalized gift can generate satisfaction and ROI. Quite understandably, corporate gifting is a $125 billion industry in the USA.
For holidays and special occasions
Holidays and special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. are perfect opportunities to go a little out of the way and share a gift. It not only makes the receiver feel special but also shows that you care about them truly.
To celebrate a professional milestone
After spending a certain amount of time in an organization, a small gift as a token of appreciation can make a massive difference to the employee. It makes them feel valued, confident, and it can be a significant morale booster.
You can also send a gift to a client to celebrate a milestone in your professional relationship, like closing a new deal or ten years since your first association. Gifting builds trust and helps in bonding.
If a particular customer spent a certain amount on purchases from your company, you can send them a gift to let them know you value their business.
To show appreciation
We all love to be appreciated! Sending a gift to a well-performing employee not only acknowledges an employee’s hard work but also motivates them to continue doing their best.
To show gratitude
Acquiring a new client is essential, but it is also necessary to make sure that professional relationship lasts for a long time. Gifting can work as a conversation starter with your future prospects, and it shows admiration and appreciation for your esteemed clients and employees.
For celebrating culture
With remote teams in action, distance can sometimes be a barrier in communication today. Gifting can be a great way to learn about and celebrate different cultures within global teams.
To appease angry customers
A bad review or an angry customer can seriously dent your brand image and reputation, leading to severe monetary losses for your company. The act of gifting sends the message across that a customer’s opinion matters to the organization, and resolving a customer’s issue is essential to the company.
Corporate Gifting Painpoints and Perks of Going Automated
The act of corporate gifting is a complex one. Here are some of the most common problems of corporate gifting. However, the good news is that now things need not stay complicated. Eva is here to make the corporate gifting process a breeze for you!
1. Choosing the most suitable gift
How does one get to know a person’s likes, personality, and preferences to choose the best gift? Most people wouldn’t be comfortable sharing such information with a stranger. On the other hand, filling up a survey form seems rather impersonal.
You don’t need to ponder what to buy and whether the receiver will like the gift with Eva. Being an interactive gifting assistant, Eva asks the receiver a few questions. Depending on their chosen preferences, Eva selects a gift box and sends it out to the receiver. No more wondering if the receiver would be happy to see your gift!
Are you worried that it seems to look like a cookie-cutter approach to gifting? Eva can also add a handwritten note to add a personal touch and wow the receiver.

Gifting should not be a cumbersome task. Is your admin or marketing team spending hours picking gifts for all your clients and employees?
