Sales driven businesses constantly motivate their sales force with grand incentive schemes, like offering holidays or cash bonuses to their star reps.

However, sales-increasing incentive schemes are not just limited to corporate enterprises. Whatever your business size; employees who regularly deal with your customers could be your sales team in disguise. You just have to motivate them, and using a corporate gift is the ideal way.  

A customer about to make a purchase has already bought into your brand. Selling more to that customer is much easier and cheaper than trying to sell from scratch to a cold prospect.

All you need to do is offer your staff an incentive so that they make the effort to sell more for you. Offering well-chosen corporate gifts is a great way to motivate people. There is a multitude available to suit everyone and every budget.   

Here a just a few ideas where motivating staff with corporate gifts could really enhance your sales:

Beauty industry: A client books a manicure. Maybe they’d like a pedicure too, or a facial? A therapist motivated by incentives could easily sell more treatments to someone who hadn’t considered completely pampering themselves.  

Restaurant: Diners order their meal but haven’t asked for any side dishes. An enthused waiter would subtly suggest adding to their dining experience with some carefully chosen additions.

Retail: A shopper asks to try on a pair of jeans. A sales assistant, encouraged by the thought of a classy gift from their employer, may suggest a belt to complement them, and perhaps even matching shoes and a bag.  

Motivate your staff, make them feel appreciated, and watch your sales escalate all at the same time by using corporate gifts as incentives.

 

There are some intelligent ways that your business can capitalise on its advertising, and choosing to give out corporate gifts that are collectable or part of a series is one of them. We all enjoy receiving gifts but when they are worth keeping and are obviously of premium quality, they will be a gift that lasts in our minds and in our office space, too.

Colourful model cars are a traditional item for collectors, and a timeless way to send out something with a nod to the past but that will sit proudly in an office cabinet displaying your logo and name to all who pass as something worth keeping. You could opt for a die-cast yellow Porsche for those special customers and follow it up with a red Lotus Elise the next time – create the demand and potential customers will crowd around your conference stand. And it needn’t be flashy cars; maybe you are a taxi company and want to impress customers with a branded model black taxi, where your logo will sit in two places and will be associated with something classic yet relevant to your business today.

Classic desktop items are another item that your clients will want to keep in a sea of other promotional items. Opt for a stylish letter opener for an item that is of premium quality and as a corporate gift that speaks volumes about your company (and is worth holding on to). Choose a smart executive design in brushed silver and when it is sent and received in its presentation box it will be a gift to remember every day when the postman calls; and why not follow it up the next time with a metal bookmark in the same style, with a satin finish? Your customers will begin to recognise your style and come to expect only the best from your promotional presents to them.

So picking corporate gifts that your clients will want to keep not only shows you to be a company that values their client but one that is savvy enough to know that something worth sending will be something your customers will want to keep, which means maximum brand exposure due to your premium gifts.

The word corporate usually conjurors up a huge concern, but you don’t have to a very large company to benefit from using corporate gifts. Even the smallest business should consider this invaluable type of promotion. It’s all about getting your company out there in this highly competitive world of business.

Research your retail markets thoroughly, get to know potential customers likes and dislikes inside out. The world of business can be cutthroat, so you need your business to shine amongst the stiff competition.

When choosing your corporate gifts you should research what type of product would best suit your company’s needs. For instance if your company specialises in manufacturing sports wear, an ideal choice would be a customised company T-shirt, or personalised printed towel with your all important name and logo on.

The next step is to find a promotional gift company, who supplies high quality promotional merchandise at a reasonable cost to you. Make sure they are flexible to your requirements, for example a large company will order thousands of T shirts, whilst a small business will only need a limited supply. Do they cater for both? There are numerous companies on the internet, so choose a reputable and reliable one. Ask for an estimated time for completion date of your order. If they are a good company, they should be able to supply you with an order of high quality corporate gifts quickly. If you require all of the above please visit www.argonpromo.co.uk.
