No, its not too early! Fall is here and is a great time to collaborate and create a thoughtful giving plan for this month, or for a traditional December parcel delivery. Highlighted below are some helpful ideas to consider when developing your gifting plan.
Why gift to staff, to clients, to members, or the like?
Gift-giving creates an opportunity for communication between giver and receiver. You may often offer words of thanks to your employees for their dedication. Staff gifts offer a different vehicle to reinforce verbal thank you messages, leaving mementos for your employees to recall and recognize your gratitude over time. Or, perhaps the gift paves the road to retrieve a signed contract that had lingered long under a stack of files on your client’s desk. Gift giving provides an opportunity to reach out and connect to those you value, providing a lasting reminder to your clients of a valued relationship you share.
Some companies opt out of gift-giving to any of its would-be intended audiences. Your decision to gift sets you apart, as do your gift items of choice. Gifting to your customers and to your employees makes a statement. Consider what message you want to send. A company’s core values may be used as inspiration in helping choose gift items and offers another avenue in distinguishing your company or organization from competitors.
Showing appreciation to valued employees, members, and customers, serves an organization well. Holiday presents, thank you gifts, employee incentive gifts, and membership rewards all work in part to further bond relationships, and to support growing connections with prospects. Gift giving strengthens the bridge between the giver and receiver.
One option is to consider a multiple-gift approach. For example, you may choose to select several items to present to your team members, with customer satisfaction survey data or sales volume guiding which gift is rewarded to each employee, either a gift valued at $50, $100, or $150. Whatever your budget, Morgen Marketing works to collaborate with you to select meaningful gifts.
Consider varying circumstances. Perhaps you’d like your gift to arrive early without having to compete with other gifts your clients may receive during the busy holiday season. Or, maybe December is the opportune time to present, at your company’s holiday party, hand-delivering your gifts at that gathering to lend an added personal touch. January is another good option, as many have returned from holiday vacations. In January, the holiday wrapping paper that had piled up through the busy year-end, has been recycled and the desk is tidy again in honor of the new year’s resolutions. Another idea is to give at different times throughout the year, riding the coattails of a holiday like Valentine’s Day or Independence Day. Simply put, there are many options that could serve a company well depending on the purpose and intent of the gift.
What is the first impression you want to impart to your gift recipient? There is a variety of different packaging materials available. Consider specialty gift bags, tissue paper, tags, ribbon, or gift-boxes made of varying materials. Any of these items may be imprinted with your logo, your company motto, core values, or a colorful photo. Packaging offers another subtle reminder of your company, gratitude, and message, and helps reinforce that positive connection that you want to build or reinforce.

We at Morgen Marketing are well suited to assist you in your sales incentive programs. We have access to upwards of one million products, from low-budget giveaways, to high-end tech gifts, any of which may be imprinted with your company logo.
Your industry, your budget, and your incentive trip's theme, are some of the factors that help us find the best products to fit your needs.
How about a photographic image of that tropical beachline along with your company motto on a quality and travel-friendly Bluetooth speaker? The possibilities are endless, and we help you tailor the the best product, or collection of products, to serve you and your team in the best possible way.
We enjoy working with our clients on these special projects and certainly bring enthusiasm to the process while we scout out the best items for each reward program. Case in point, Morgen Marketing's K.C. Warner, teamed up with her client at Cushman & Wakefield/Pacific, a commercial real estate company with an office in Boise, Idaho, on a reward trip for its top performers. The client provided K.C. with a budget and timeframe, and in turn, K.C. created several different concepts to present, including:
Morgen Marketing compiled the items chosen by the client, packaged them in a logo-branded tote, and delivered them all within the agreed upon in-hands date. In the end, the client at Cushman & Wakefield/Pacific, who has worked with Morgen Marketing on different projects over several years, was quite pleased with the process and the result. The client's written feedback was gracious:
"I wanted to reach out and thank you for the amazing job you did helping me put this together. The gifts are perfect! I am sure everyone receiving them will be surprised and impressed. I've sent the attached photo up to our owners and they think they are great! I can't wait to hear what the top producers think of them..."
One of the chosen items for this campaign was a Bluetooth speaker with a Catalina Island image imprint to commemorate the special trip. Certainly, a fun incentive that works to inspire a sales team to reach its goals. After the incentive trip, the special commemorative gift remains as a reminder of the great rewards that come from hard work and dedication to a company that regards and incentivizes its employees well!
