The searches are long and tedious and the results are not very convincing. At the end of the searches, I can only conclude that ones' man meat is another's' man poison. The definition of unique corporate gifts is very subjective and it depends on how active have you been searching for gifts for your customers? The Internet is simply too big and its like finding a needle in a haystack!
What set off the search for these unique gifts for people are because you want to set your gift different from others? Even if I could bring you some gifts that I personally think that they are unique, it might not appeal to you and for that matter not unique at all because you might have seen that gift somewhere before.
Therefore instead of searching high and low for such ambiguous gifts, why not consider a personalized gift? The whole idea of gift giving is to build that special business relationship. Competitions are getting stronger each day and what really help to grow your business is not just on your products. It's more with the relationship you have with your business partners and that is the X-factor that we hope to acquire.
Have you ever wonder why certain project always goes to a particular company instead of yours? Well, apart from the branding that they have created, I would conclude that your competitor knows the decision-making executive personally. For all we know, that executive is a wine lover and your competitor has been pampering him/her with all sorts of rated bottles of wine!
It's never too late for anything and its time to win back some competitions! Strike up more conversations with the customer. They might have expressed a desire for certain gift. It could be as ordinary as a pen or MP3 player. Getting those gifts are not only practical for the recipient but also shows how much you listen and understand that person. That will surely bring a big smile to the recipient and your relationship one big leap forward!
Anyway, this is not the end of the search for unique corporate gifts. It's actually the beginning. I will be constantly on the look out for that elusive unique gift. If you so happen to come across one, please do me a favor and drop me an email.
