Five Reasons to Give a Business Gift
Since the holiday season is here again, it might be helpful to look at some common reasons for business gift giving. Gifts are great for business all year long, not only in December. Don’t forget about these opportunities to provide a reminder of your company with a thoughtfully selected gift and imprinted message!!
1. Closing a sale. Give gifts when a deal is closed to say thank you and congratulations on a major purchase, for example for a new home, appliance, car or a major business purchase.
2. Ending a project. During the project, to promote teamwork, celebrate the completion of a major phase, provide visibility, generate enthusiasm and show good faith, distribute gifts to users and project participants to say “job well done”. The end of a project is especially significant when you highlight overall accomplishments and contributions.
2. To demonstrate good will on an ongoing basis. This option is not just based on events or holidays. Gift giving should be part of an ongoing, year long business strategy.
3. Personal and business milestones. Personal milestones include retirements, anniversaries, birthdays and promotions. Reaching or surpassing sales goals, grand openings, the introduction of new products and services, company growth and expansion count as business milestones. A celebration is an excellent time to give gifts.
4. Referral Gifts. Show appreciation all year long for customer referrals. Referrals and positive word of mouth can grow your business in major ways. Use referral gifts to encourage customers for referrals that turn into business.

I’m trying to move on and do positive things with my life…How do I open a business?
I want to start doing something positive with my life. I had a great idea for a business. I have 5 years in the “gift wrapping” industry and over 10 years in customer service. I realize that my business may really only be crucial for a few months of the year but it would be such an amazing business to have. I want to have a gift wrapping business. Have people bring me their gifts around the holidays and I will wrap them for a small fee…basically depending on size or the amount of packages. How do I go about getting this started and is it a smart idea? I can run the business itself out of my home…and I feel like with my creativity I could come up with some amazing and inexpensive ways to make amazing presents. What do you guys think? whats the best way to go about this?
I think your idea is great; however, you need to make sure you have a good market before any good idea is started. To put it in simple terms its hard to sell sand in the desert….so I would first start my checking to make sure this is what your market needs. Also, I would get some folks to commit in a verbal way that they would use your services. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this don’t worry about it but don’t start a business either. Even it’s only for few months, it may be something you want to do every season…so building a customer base will be important.
Next, you need to make sure you can get supplies, etc at wholesale cost so you may need a tax resale id number. Once you have everything set – supplies, prices you’ll need to create flyers/business cards to market your business…in fact, you may want to check with some local boutiques to see if they need some help with their over flow – explain how you can assist them without them having to hire extra help during the holiday just to wrap gifts or check and see what space rental is at your local mall….
Good luck….
