Existing customers also appreciate it when they are thought of during the collaboration. Read these handy tips for personal promotional gifts.

Don't overdo it

Popular gifts don't have to be expensive. In fact, an overly expensive gift can cause a lot of discomfort. It's smarter and more fun to give something small that is used daily. A USB stick with your company logo, for example, or a USB car charger. Did your business partner arrive completely soaked at your last meeting? Then provide an icebreaker during the next encounter and give a branded umbrella as a gift.

Popular promotional gifts

Believe it or not, but the pen is still the most popular promotional gift in the world. In the more expensive segment, a power bank scores well. A simple lanyard still makes an impression. Highly valued since the abolition of free plastic bags in stores: foldable bags. Just as classic as the pen is printing mugs.

Companies are increasingly valuing good coffee and tea. The coffee machine with plastic cups has had its day. A nice porcelain mug or a cup with a saucer often goes down well. For example, at Maxilia, you will find unique and stylish promotional gifts.

A logo is allowed, but not necessary

Your logo on a mug that is used daily in another company can be quite imposing. The chance is high that your promotional gift ends up at the back of the kitchen cupboard. So think about other ways to draw attention to your business. Choose a special image or text that leads to a conversation at the coffee machine.

If your contact receives a compliment or question about the mug you gave, there is a good chance that your company's name will also be mentioned. Just make sure it is a tasteful expression that fits the values of your company. Also, opt for a calm design that fits into different office environments.
