Corporate Gifting
We get excited about gifts around here. And who doesn’t?!
But these gifts aren’t for us - they are for our clients. A few years ago, we stopped doing “holiday gifts” and started gifting at the end of each event. Here are some reasons why:
If a client was a one-time client (meaning the event was a one-off) and it happened earlier in the year - it felt like we were re-introducing ourselves around year-end to give them this gift.
Reduced shipping costs and lower carbon emission for clients and/or events that weren’t based in #Lexington (where we are located).
A more tailored gifting experience - we could create different gift packages based on the type of client, their own personal interests, their company mission/values, etc.
The ability to better promote and support sustainable gifting.
The ability to better promote and support charitable efforts through our gifting.
A more impactful “thank you”
Past gifts have included special blend bourbon with proceeds going to local charities, choose-your-adventure gifting where clients can choose what they want (And will use), LOTS of beverage options, and so much more!
We have LOVED working with the Williams Advertising team over the last few years for our client gifting (And gifting on behalf of our clients to their clients). Not only is the company woman-owned/operated - but they do a GREAT job of providing unique options that provide value. We give them our vision, mission, values, goals, budget, etc. and they make magic happen!
That leads us to our 2024 gifting: Coffee Break!
We often see questions asking if “beverage items” are overdone. And we feel the answer is “no”….. with a caveat. It needs to be useful, it needs to be “low impact” and it needs to fit (in their cabinet, in their car, etc.) .
Oversized items, overly branded items, and over-done items are OUT.
The Williams Team helped us create our 2024 packages which met our four goals:
Unique gift that clients will actually use and keep.
Branded in a meaningful way.
Sustainable Items.
Must include a charitable Component.
ENTER:
Energy Blend Coffee, specially crafted for those who have just completed an event and need a pick-me-up! A beautiful coffee travel tumbler which will fit in your car and your cabinet! And a feel-good moment when you realize that these items are both earth-conscious and charitable.
Coffee: 100% of the coffee companies profits are donated to non-profit organizations that are human-focused, efficient with their funds, effective in their mission, and sustainable in their purpose. Plus the metal containers are 100% recyclable once empty.
Mug: MiiR (producer of the mug) gives a % of revenue to non-profit organizations whose work empowers communities while benefitting the health of their natural environments.
Card: the cards are printed on 100% recycled materials
We hope you love these gifts as much as we loved putting them together!
