Make Your Holiday Business Gifts Stand Out
While most people believe that the best time to give holiday business gifts is in the week or two leading up to Christmas, there are several compelling reasons to choose either Thanksgiving or New Year for the business gift-giving season.
Although Christmas is traditionally a time to give and receive gifts in our culture, the truth is that not everyone celebrates Christmas. While a gift is always appreciated, the fact is that we don't want to alienate anyone by not recognizing that different people do have different beliefs and celebrate those at various times of the year. In light of this, why not take advantage of two other holidays to show your appreciation to your clients, employees, vendors and others who have made your business a success over the past year?
By giving your business gifts either at Thanksgiving (before the holiday rush) or just after New Year's, you are guaranteed to beat the holiday rush of gifts that become a jumble of items and baskets with no one quite remembering what came from who. You will either be amongst the very first gifts to arrive (if not the first), or one of the very last; making you stand out among the crowd.
What better time to give a gift in thanks of new business, continued business, loyalty from employees and/or great support and service from vendors than Thanksgiving? The sentiment will be well appreciated at this most appropriate and American of holidays. Since Thanksgiving is about one month before most people's gifts arrive, yours will never get lost in the shuffle, giving you that extra wow factor.
Are you afraid that it will look like the recipient was an afterthought on the gift list if you opt for a post-New Year gift? It won't, if you treat it as a gift in thanks for their business last year and the anticipation of yet another successful year working together.
