A business's clientele directly determines the business' success, and therefore, client gift giving becomes an important of your company. Giving the right corporate gift to customers will show them appreciation. You can build on the professional relationship the client has with your business, increase the word of mouth advertising, and show why your company is better than all others in the industry.



Presents for your top clients should be all about the customer and not a corporate branded item that is given out to passing customers for the most effect. A general rule of thumb is to spend 1-2% of the sales made from that client on a gift. Bathrobes, fruit baskets, or fragrance sets are three options to consider.

Luxury Bathrobes

For a gift that continues to demonstrate your appreciation for years to come, consider giving a mens bathrobe or womens bathrobe. Taking the extra time to select fashionable and luxurious bathrobes will leave an impression that will not be forgotten. These types of mens and womens bathrobes fit better, feel better, and come in different weights to ensure your top client is always comfortable. For an even bigger impression, have the womens and mens bathrobe monogrammed with the client's initials. This simple step will speak volumes and your client will continue to bring their future business to you.

Fruit Baskets

For an elegant and tasteful gift, select a nicely arranged fruit basket. They look beautiful and offer your client a healthy and tasty treat. Your client can enjoy the fruit at work or at home and you don't have to worry about things such as specific diet requirements. Many times, these baskets contain wine and other additional treats such as chocolates or cheese.

A gift of this type does require some considerations before selecting one for your client. First, not everyone enjoys the same type of fruit. Many people don't drink and dislike cheese. You also need to select the provider carefully so you are sure the fruit arrives fresh. The last thing to keep in mind is that after the fruit is gone, the client will have nothing more than an empty basket.

Fragrance Sets

A designer fragrance set or bath set is another great client gift giving idea. With so many choices available, there is sure to be a set to meet your budget and the tastes of your client. Since these items aren't perishable, they are easier to ship anywhere in the world. This type of gift should only be purchased with careful consideration.

Some people are very allergic to artificial scents and others only wear natural scents or no perfumes at all. Workplaces might have rules against wearing fragrances making them difficult for your client to use. Also, carefully consider the message this sends before sending -- mixing them with personalized pen sets, mugs, and other items often helps.

Client gift ideas such as bathrobes, fragrance sets, and fruit baskets are some of the best ways to ensure your clients continue to bring their business to you and increase your customer base through word of mouth. Keep in mind, that it isn't necessarily what you give, but the thought but into the gift itself. Select the right present for each of your top clients, add a personal note of thank you, and enjoy the many benefits of client gift giving.
