Keep gift costs “under cover” this Christmas

Do you normally give a gift at Christmas to your key clients and prospects? 

Are you wondering if you should cut back this year, or maybe even forget the idea completely in order to save money?

It’s a tough decision to make, as giving a corporate gift is a simple and easy way to keep your company name in the minds of the people you want to impress.  The secret is finding a suitable gift that doesn’t look tacky, and at same time won’t break the bank.

As well as the obvious items such as diaries and calendars, an increasingly popular giveaway is an umbrella carrying a company logo.  A practical gift for anyone who has to brave the British climate, an umbrella is an ideal way to meet the dual requirement of offering a useful gift and promoting your company. 

Minimum order quantities are low, and the individual unit price is roughly the same as the price of a decent bottle of wine or a box of chocolates.  And the recipient is likely to keep the umbrella longer than wine or chocolates!

Umbrellas needn’t just be for clients either.  If you are based in a town, why not have some available for your staff in winter when they head for the local High Street at lunchtime?  It’s a simple and easy way to bring your company name to the attention of the local population, at a fraction of the cost of an advert in the local newspaper.       

M3P, Spiral’s specialist promotional products supplier, can offer an extensive range of umbrella designs and colours to suit all budgets.  They also specialise in more traditional business gifts such as clocks, business card holders and pocket calculators.
