Unique Business Gift Ideas: Fresh Fruit & Gourmet Treats That Impress

It’s important for businesses to recognize and show appreciation for their valued clients, customers and associates at all times of the year, because good businesses know that it’s not the numbers or the sales – it’s the relationships you cultivate that keep their business going.

There’s no better time than the holiday season to cement those relationships with a meaningful token of remembrance, and our Corporate Gift Specialists can help you with holiday gift ideas that your clients will appreciate and remember.

Finding Corporate Gifts That Make Your Brand Stand Out

Customized corporate logo gifts help with brand recognition, and the best business gifts are the ones that reinforce your brand in a positive way. This is why more companies are climbing about the business gifting bandwagon. At a time when clients and workers alike feel customer service is less personal than ever, taking the trouble to send a business or employee gift shows that your company cares about the individual. Your gift doesn’t have to cost a lot (indeed, when you go the food route, it’s easy to find high-quality yet affordable corporate gifts, and by taking the extra effort you’re helping your business to shine.

But with corporate gift sales going up, how can you be sure to find gifts your recipients will truly appreciate? After all, a cheap plastic water bottle with your company’s logo on it is hardly going to make much of an impression.

Coming Up with the Right Business Gift

When trying to come up with a unique corporate gift, it’s a good idea to choose something that will be a hit with most of your recipients. This is why food gifts work so well…after all, everyone needs to eat, and you don’t have to worry if the gift will fit!

There are many different types of gifts to choose from at Pittman & Davis. Gourmet Gifts of food (including gift tuns of nuts, dried fruit, candies and cakes) are often well-received, and you may find that one of these works best for your company. That said, going such a route can be problematic…with dietary restrictions, allergies and food sensitivities to consider, it might be a better idea to go with one of our Fruit Baskets.

When sending a gift to a group of people, it can be harder to settle on something everyone will like. With all the excesses of the holiday season, people also appreciate fruit gift boxes or fruit gift baskets that promote health and wellness. A beautifully and elegantly arranged gift of premium fruit (such as Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit mixed with navel oranges and other luscious citrus fruits) as a corporate gift will be a refreshing change from the season’s sugary treats, and can go for toward helping you build great business relationships and impressing existing and potential clients.

This doesn’t mean you have to leave the sweet and savory treats out altogether…the best corporate food gifts offer a varied selection, and combining gourmet sweets and treats with a selection of fresh, high-quality fruit is a great way to increase the likelihood of your recipients finding something they enjoy inside. This also has the added advantage of making your gift shareable among your recipient’s family and friends, thereby expanding your company’s reach.
