Though corporate gift-giving is not in the same league with mass media, it is not supposed to be. It fill the personal niche where mass media lacks. And it fills it well if done right.

Study after study has found that the them or nature of the gift itself is not just important but pertinent. If it is something that does not give the receiver a good feeling about you, the cost or how elaborate the gift is is a moot point. In fact it is a negative point.

Because of this, the growth of humor consultants has skyrocketed. Major corporations such as IBM, DuPont and many others pay them high wages to teach humor skills to employees for motivation and loyalty.

Humor is far more important than you might imagine for a life-long relationship with your client. And there is no better way to purvey that humor than a corporate gift that sits in front of the client on a daily basis.

A humorous corporate gift that that is a theme gift will pack a punch that goes a long way, creating loyalty, word of mouth, and even a community, generally of people who want to know you and where you shopped for it

I can't make you believe me in words. The investment is small, usually $15-$40 and it is worth it's weight in gold. You only need try it once. You will be hooked and so will the receiver, who will also be hooked on you.

For instance, let's say you own or are partner or employee of a law firm. For years you have given the same staid gifts to your clients. Why not try a professionally-drawn law-related cartoon on a coffee gift basket. Yes believe it or not there are legal-related themed gourmet coffee gift baskets. We know because we invented them and they are only around $40. We know of others, selling the same gourmet beans as non-cartoon gift baskets for $60-$80 with no personalization. We even personalize the basket for only $2 giving the law firm's name and web address. It includes an oversize coffee mug and four coasters, all with an award-winning law cartoon, five distinct blends and flavors of gourmet coffee beans from around the world, and of course the gratutious biscotti.

Coffee baskets are not the be all end-all. Why not a cartoon trivet or porcelain plate? I prefer the desk clock, it is less expensive, and your name and URL appears in front of them every time they look at the clock. You can do this with coffee mugs, aprons, hoodies, framed tiles, Christmas ornaments, and so many other gift ideas, all at the best funny corporate gift shops. There are several on the Internet. I own one that sells almost 100,000 items in 23 different categories.

Words cannot express the special psychology behind giving a gift of laughter that portrays your name and URL. The client or potential client cannot help but feel good every time he/she sees your company's name and URL while laughing at a cartoon every day. It is monumental.
