Christmas is the time to say thank you and show appreciation to employees, teams and customers. However, while events and larger business occasions are being implemented rather hesitantly in the current times, gestures such as physical gifts and tokens of appreciation are becoming increasingly relevant. We explain what you need to look out for when developing a concept for personal employee gifts and why price doesn’t always have to be the decisive factor.
When you think of employee and customer gifts, you often immediately think of a bottle of wine, a culinary box or the classic: chocolates with the company logo. Avoiding this familiar aftertaste of classic give-aways and instead integrating a personal, individual touch into employee gifts seems to be a great art. According to Nicole Hugentobler, customer consultant at cadolino, the key to this is quite simple, as the only decisive factor is the lead time: “Every company has a personal story to tell. Teams and employees experience so many ups and downs together over the course of a year that offer potential for personal stories. In our view, the only key is to start planning early enough to be able to work out the right stories and messages in a concept.”
When your story becomes an employee gift
Conceptualizing, planning, developing and designing products – that takes time and know-how. Managing directors, team leaders and HR managers rarely have time for this in their day-to-day work. This is precisely why the cadolino team of consultants takes this task off their hands. You tell your employee and company stories, create the briefing in cooperation with our specialists and receive a concept that is individually tailored to you in terms of product and topic, but also in terms of budget. We adapt to your framework conditions, be it gifts to employees distributed around the world, personalized gifts in conjunction with a Christmas dinner or a complete series of multi-part Christmas gifts for your employees that will keep the excitement going throughout the entire Advent season. The only fixed point: start as soon as possible, because the lead time is crucial for a final product that suits you.
Giving a personal gift doesn’t have to be expensive
Instead of ballpoint pens and parking disks, you will find high-quality products, such as a wide range of Vonmählen products just a few days ago. But don’t be put off by figures and budgets – no matter what your budget is, we will make the most of your resources with a personal touch. Share your employee stories with us and look forward to recognizing your story in a personal Christmas gift soon.
