Choosing the Right Goodies for Your Company Events

Various corporate events are an opportunity to strengthen your brand image while building loyalty and rewarding your employees with personalized gifts that will be given to them at the time of the event. And for each occasion, its favorite gift. For events such as team building and seminars, badges, tote bags, water bottles, mugs and notebooks will find a direct utility and will be perceived as an attention valuing the presence of the participants. For end-of-year parties, Advent calendars, greeting cards, gourmet baskets or even personalized chocolates for companies are obviously predestined. In the context of sporting events, for example during inter-company races, we will apply to affix its logo on caps, tee-shirts, sunglasses and cups. Finally, on a more private basis, we can offer our new employees a "Welcome Box" with in the box the first useful accessories to his taking office such as notebooks, pens, goodies connected to the example of the USB key, and in the lot a more original gift such as a plant or a lunch box.

"Welcome kits", like other gift sets given at corporate events and parties, are an opportunity to strengthen employees' attachment to the brand, even outside of the workplace and working hours. It is therefore perfectly appropriate to include in the set some practical everyday items for private life, starting with seasonal articles that will accompany employees on their way to the office and home: umbrella, scarf, sunglasses or cap. Textiles here kill two birds with one stone, since they can be worn both at the office and in private life. You might therefore consider printing your logo on socks, hoodies and t-shirts. To show that you also care about the employee's personal and family well-being, and not only their well-being at work, you could offer small leisure items such as kitchen accessories, DIY tools or garden accessories, depending on each person's tastes and the time of year.

Directly useful in professional daily life, the various office supplies, provided they are revisited and given a touch of originality, will be particularly easy gifts to make in large quantities and to offer regardless of the type of event. And in addition to notebooks, post-its, pens and pencil holders, you can add more original goodies, aimed at strengthening well-being at work such as anti-blue light glasses and various anti-stress objects and games. For employees working remotely, who do not have the same equipment as on-site staff, you can even think of gifts such as a desk lamp, noise-reducing headphones, anti-stress planting kit, USB cup warmer, etc. And the list of goodies aimed at improving the health and well-being of employees is still long:

• Fleece blanket, cushion, hot water bottle

• Seed kit, "Zen garden" kit

• Diffusers and scented candles

• Subscriptions (gym, coffee brand, delivery service)

• Games for relaxation during breaks or at home

We end with the big trend of the moment in terms of corporate gifts: eco-responsible or "Planet Friendly" goodies. With the issue of environmental responsibility at the heart of companies and their CSR approach, you can organize seminars and workshops on the theme of ecological commitment and environmental challenges for your company. And these events will be the ideal opportunity to concretize your message by distributing goodies to participants such as:

• Solar device chargers

• Planting kits

• Reusable cups, gourds, bottles and tumblers

• Reusable tote bags

• Stationery items made from recycled materials

• Personalized accessories and objects made of bamboo or cork
