Corporate Gifting Etiquette: What You Need to Know

Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting is an art and like any art, there are rules to follow. Sending the wrong gift at the wrong time (or in the wrong way) can backfire. This guide covers the do's and don'ts of corporate gifting to help you make a lasting positive impression.

Timing Your Gifts Correctly

• Milestones: Send gifts for anniversaries, promotions, or product launches.

• “Just Because” Moments: Surprise and delight your clients with an unexpected gift.

Budget and Appropriateness

• Avoid gifts that are too extravagant they can make clients uncomfortable.

• Opt for gifts that reflect your relationship level (e.g., smaller gifts for new clients, premium items for long-term clients).

Cultural Sensitivity in Gifting

• Learn about cultural gifting practices (e.g., avoid giving clocks in Chinese culture as they symbolize endings).

• Avoid overly personal gifts unless you have a close rapport.

By following these etiquette guidelines, you can ensure your corporate gifts are always well-received. Let Curately take the guesswork out of gifting and help you build stronger client relationships.
