Great and experienced team
One way to show your clients how much they mean to you is by giving them a thoughtful gift basket. But what exactly should you put in it? It can be challenging to pinpoint the right items to include that your clients will genuinely enjoy.
Lucky for you, you’re in the right place. At SportingU in Byron Center, MI, we’ve got you covered when it comes to client gift baskets. In this blog, we’ll be detailing 8 ideas that will allow you to show your appreciation to any client of your company.
As a business owner, your team probably has a few custom shirts or custom polos. But when it comes to your clients, you don’t want to give them the same thing you give your staff.
A custom client shirt is a much better option. Client clothing lets someone know you care about them and their continued support, but it doesn’t indicate to the world that they work for your company. It does prove to be a beneficial branding strategy, however, as while it's worn, your client lets others know about your business.
An added step might be to have multiple tiers of custom client shirts. For example, you could offer something that’s extra special for your premium clients like a personalized jacket.This shows clients how much you value their partnership, and it also encourages others to take next steps with your company.
In a gift basket, a custom water bottle can go a long way in that it can provide daily value for those receiving it.
People always think they have enough water bottles but never do when in a pinch. Think about kids’ soccer practices or a business meeting that’s running late or family trips in the summer. Having a water bottle that can handle the journey time and time again means something. Why not have your company logo on it so your clients take you with them?
A custom water bottle will help maintain good status with a client. Even if a client only thinks of your company 10% of the time they drink from it, that’s still at least once or twice daily (more depending on refills.)
We all know how popular golf is.
A couple of golf balls in a client gift basket lets golfers know you’re thinking about them too. What works well with custom golf balls is not how someone plays the game with it, but rather when a client sees your company name and logo before they tee up.
The brief moment of remembering where they got it adds to the bond they have with you. And if your clients aren’t golfers, don’t worry. Golf balls tend to stick around as display on people’s desks and homes so a custom one still adds benefits.
A lot like the custom shirt, a custom hat works as wearable advertisement and branding.
With custom hats, you don’t have to be as cautious as you do with company shirts. Hats rarely mean someone works somewhere but they often show how someone supports a place. Our tip here is to focus primarily on usability.
Whether your clients wear the hat with personalized apparel, athletic apparel, or business apparel, you want it to fit the occasion. As your custom print shop, we’ll work with you to achieve that diversity so that your clients will love what they wear and love you for the gift.
Tossing a stress ball in your never hurts. It actually might help.
Most people don’t go out of their way to buy a stress ball, but when one gets gifted to them they might use it all the time. Stress balls are great for more than just handling stress, they’re proven to also help fight things like arthritis, anxiety, and hand cramping.
Whether it sits on your client’s desk for months or gets everyday use, a custom stress ball reminds your client how you're there through it all.
Here at SportingU, we even offer custom printed frisbees.
These are great toys to put in a gift basket for your client because if your clients have kids, a frisbee works as a shareable gift. This can mean a lot to your client too because it shows you pay attention to their home lives and that you care about them as people, not just profit opportunities.
Coasters are always getting their share of use. Whether it’s for an outdoor party or a dinner event, having a collection of coasters is a must so why not give your clients a bundle of them in a ?
Like the other customizable items we offer, custom coasters work great to start conversations. If your client has guests over, coasters can make your company a part of the party without having to be there in person.
And because word of mouth is still one of the most powerful sales techniques in our culture, you may have a new client from just one coaster related conversation.
Of course, the final thing we recommend adding to your gift baskets is everyone's favorite sweet and salty treats.
With snacks and candy, you have a lot of options. Depending on the size of your company, you may also want to customize each gift basket to each client specifically. If you have notes about how someone is allergic to nuts, a client gift basket that doesn’t have any of those shows you pay attention.
We hope you’ll find a good combination to suit whatever your client’s favorites may be!
