30 Jul Corporate Gifting Tip: Don’t Go It Alone
Welcome back, overachievers! If you’re still with us in Summer School, CONGRATS you’re over halfway to gifting greatness! Today’s lesson? A reality check disguised as advice: Don’t. Do. It. Yourself. (DDIY)
Yes, we know. You may live in Utah, the land of crafters, makers, Etsy queens, and “I-can-whip-up-a-charcuterie-board-in-30-minutes” innovators. Your neighbor probably has a laser engraver in her garage, and someone down the street runs a soap business on the side. DIY runs deep here.
But when it comes to corporate gifting? That’s a different story.
The truth is, DIY gifting for your business sounds dreamy until you’re knee-deep in crinkle paper, 27 tabs open comparing bulk chocolate prices, and second-guessing whether the logo on that mug is going to peel off in the dishwasher. There’s a reason professionals exist.
Corporate gifting isn’t just about assembling a cute box, it’s about strategy, timing, branding, personalization, fulfillment logistics, and let’s be honest… sanity.
Let’s play out the classic DIY spiral:
- You want to thank a client with a one-of-a-kind gift.
- You hit Pinterest. It spirals fast.
- You start buying supplies in bulk. It gets expensive.
- You run out of time, so you throw something together last-minute.
- You forget to send it.
- You remember mid-meeting with said client.
- You panic.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the deal: You don’t need to be an expert in all things. You just need to be thoughtful. And sometimes the most thoughtful thing you can do is let someone else do the task that shouldn’t be on your to-do list in the first place.
When you work with gifting professionals, (that’s us☺), you get more than a gift. You get peace of mind, expert curation, on-time delivery, branding done right, and a whole lot of “wow” without the worry. You get a gift that reflects well on you, without making your job harder. We both know you work hard enough.
So while we love that you can hand-make a candle or embroider a tea towel, we’re here to say: Save the crafts for your personal enjoyment. Let the gifting pros handle your client and employee appreciation. We’ll make sure the thoughtfulness comes through – beautifully, intentionally, and most importantly, without requiring a hot glue gun.
See you next class!
