Why is corporate gifting important?
Corporate gifting is an important way to show appreciation for employees, clients, and other business associates. Not only do gifts help strengthen relationships with both current and potential customers, but they can also be used to recognize and reward employees for their achievements.
Personal events such as anniversaries, birthdays, or significant life events can be celebrated with a thoughtful gift that shows your sincere appreciation for the recipient. Corporate events are also an ideal moment to recognize key players in the organization by rewarding them with something special.
Apart from offering general employee or client appreciation gifts, corporate gifting also plays an important role in the special recognition of noteworthy achievements at work. Doing this helps motivate your team members to strive further and reach yet higher goals while allowing them to enjoy tangible rewards when they hit milestones along their career path.
According to Forbes, "over 80% of surveyed organizations have reported improved relationships after engaging in corporate gifting and 48% said it delivered a substantial benefit to their business". Corporate gifting not only reinforces existing relationships, but it can leave a lasting impression on those you offer gifts to, thus becoming one of the most powerful tools for building and nurturing meaningful connections with the people who drive success in your organization.
Branded Corporate Gifts
At Carman Brook Farm, we are proud to offer branded corporate gifts that will make your organization stand out from the rest. Maple syrup looks beautiful in glass bottles, and your logo and company branding will really pop up against the amber background. We fill our glass bottles with the Amber Rich Taste grade of Vermont maple syrup, which we feel showcases the engraved branding the best of the syrup grades. Not to mention this is our most popular table syrup.
Our local Vermont third-party engraver is equipped with specialized equipment and a sure hand, only requiring a high-quality vector file which your graphic designer should have if you don't have it readily available. If neither of those is the case, no worries, for a small fee our engraver can convert your company logo for you. The right file allows us to expertly emboss your beautiful glass maple leaves with your logo for a great gift.
The different-sized maple syrup bottles available provide you with more options in terms of pricing so that your branding can find its way on a bottle no matter the budget. We also understand the value of creating a professional impression, which is why we provide a digital proof before final engraving to ensure accuracy and your satisfaction.
Regarding branded and custom corporate gifts, we believe in providing only the best. Before sending off your order, our team goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right - that starts with harvesting the sap from the forest, to the expert process, all the way to ensuring the clarity of the embossed logo on your business's maple leaves. Rest assured that when you choose us for your corporate gifting needs, your clients, new hires, or any person is getting a truly personal gift.
Personalizing your Corporate and Client Gifts
When it comes to corporate and client gifting, personalization is key. The personalization I'm referring to doesn't mean your custom logo on a maple syrup bottle. I'm talking about a personalized touch that shows you're individually considering the people receiving your corporate gifts. For instance, more and more people are choosing to abstain from alcohol, so an expensive and fancy bottle of wine, liquor, or champagne might not be greeted with the great feedback you might expect!
In addition to committing an accidental faux pas with alcohol, you don't want to send gifts with animal products to someone practicing a vegan diet, or a pancake mix gift set with gluten to someone with gluten intolerance. To be as inclusive as possible and ensure that everyone, including those with dietary restrictions, can enjoy our curated selection of gifts, we offer vegan, gluten-free, and traditional options all sweetened with Vermont maple syrup. Taking care to consider each person's individual needs and preferences shows that you have put thought into the gift and are not simply "checking the box" on corporate gifting.
Our farm offers something for everyone, so you can rest assured that your gifts will be enjoyed by all recipients regardless of their lifestyle choices or dietary restrictions. By selecting our single-ingredient maple products for your corporate gifting program, you can be sure that it is a distinctive corporate gift that conveys how much you truly care about the people you are giving them to.
What corporate or business gifts should I give?
Corporate and business gifts are a great way to show appreciation for employees or clients. Our farm offers a wide selection of corporate gift options, suitable for individual presents and large-scale events. We can provide custom solutions tailored to fit any budget and create unique corporate gift baskets, bags, and boxes with hand-crafted products from our extensive collection. Corporate gifting is an excellent way of expressing gratitude and loyalty for the hard work that your staff puts forth daily.
Our event favors are the perfect option for when you need several dozen to several hundreds of a certain item to hand out as gifts. Rather than water bottles, perishable food, or other generic trinkets, real maple syrup is a creative and new idea that is sure to impress. Corporate gifts can be used for employee recognition, rewards programs, customer appreciation, or special occasions such as holidays or anniversaries.
For those looking for something more bespoke, we also have great relationships with local vendors for completely customized options designed specifically around your company’s needs. A great example of this is when one of our longtime customers wanted to switch things up from our traditional maple lineup one year, so we sourced local pasta, sauce, and olive oil to send out to their clients. Whether you need one-off items or multiple orders shipped out at once, we guarantee that they won’t be disappointed!
Shipping your Corporate Gifts
We have a long history of shipping corporate gifts across the country and overseas to individual addresses and relationships with freight shippers to ship in bulk. The shipping expert around here, Karen, has been shipping corporate and business gifts for over 25 years and we currently have a less than 1% break rate. In the event of breakage during shipment, we'll rectify the situation and send out a replacement at no cost to you.
Shipping shouldn't be a headache for you, so with a few questions such as if you have a forklift, loading dock, etc. we can develop a shipping plan to get your corporate gifts to their location in the most cost and time-efficient method possible. Once tailored to suit your unique needs, we can ship your corporate gifts to your location of choice.
What if I need to send a business gift to a bunch of different addresses?
Oftentimes we'll be asked to ship corporate gifts to multiple addresses. This is no problem, and to facilitate large lists of clients, employees, and the like, we have created a spreadsheet for you to drop in your addresses and our shipping software will take it from there. Our shipping department has you covered.
What about the privacy of the recipients after I ship my corporate gifts?
At Carman Brook Farm, we understand that the privacy of your business, employees, and clients is paramount. As such, you can rest assured that whenever you entrust us with delivering your corporate gifts, all customer information will be kept strictly confidential. We will never add any gift recipient to our mail-order customer list under any circumstance.
We take extra care when it comes to the packaging of each corporate gift - ensuring your company's logo or branding is prominently featured on the outside and no promotional material or brochures are included unless requested by you. However, for convenience and customers’ benefit, we do include literature about the origin of products used in our gifts as well as storage instructions if applicable. At Carman Brook Farm, we always prioritize customer safety and peace of mind!
When should you order your corporate gifts?
While simple orders like individual gift boxes, baskets, and certain quantities of our small bottles will ship USPS or UPS within a business day or two, it's best to lean forward for larger orders. If you’re considering maple corporate gifts and want to benefit from the most savings, then it’s important to start the ordering process with plenty of time before the gifting event.
By getting in touch with us as early as possible, we can make sure that your order is completed on time and according to your specifications. Plus, if any components of your order are available for bulk purchase or require creative shipping solutions, you could be making significant cost savings which we will happily pass on to you!
