What is Corporate Gifting and why is it important?

Corporate gifting is the practice of sending gifts to create a connection with employees and clients, whether it is to reward your employees accomplishments, birthdays, holiday, or hosting an event to impress clients. Corporate gifts do not need to be costly or extravagant. Sending a gift basket is an example of how easy it is to come up with corporate gift ideas.

Thousands of companies rely on Baskits to enhance their business development efforts and strengthen their connections. Baskits understands that these organizations trust us with their hard-earned reputations - we take that responsibility extremely seriously and it impacts everything we do. Corporate gifting is so important because it provides an emotional and positive connection that strengthens the recipient's engagement with the company.                            

                                    

Benefits of sending Corporate Gifts

Send unique gifts to clients to say thank you or to build long-lasting relationships. Gift baskets have long been a popular option for corporate gifts. Baskits makes it easy to send client gifts and you can rest assured knowing you sent a meaningful gift that will have your clients feeling valued. "Over 80% of employers said gifts have improved relationships with employees and/or clients," says Pamela N. Danziger, Senior Contributor at Forbes Magazine. The pandemic has transformed corporate gifting where it "drove home the most meaningful effect of a corporate gift: to make the recipient feel valued" she continues. With corporate gifting, you can establish trust via sincere and important gift baskets that enhance your connections with your employees/clients.

Baskits recently took on a massive gifting initiative for UHN that sent thoughtful packages to their healthcare workers in honor of all that they do.

"We worked with the UNH team to create and send out 17,000 custom thank you boxes for their healthcare workers as a small token of thanks for the dedication and hardwork they provide every day. Our send out included a beautifully printed box with "thank you" written in different languages and the gift included a delicious box of cookies and branded fanny pack.
