Could a wine cooler bag be the answer to Christmas corporate gift giving?
You’ve worked hard to get where you are in your recruiting company or your business. Your clients are the reason you earn a substantial salary or have a very healthy bottom line. So you want to say a big Thank You when the gift-giving season is nigh.
For one or all?
But corporate gift-giving is not for the faint-hearted. Is too little a slap in the client’s face? Will too much look like you’re trying to buy preferential treatment?
Do you give all your clients the same gift, hoping for a bulk buying discount? If so, there could be a risk that some of them will discover that their gift is part of a job lot, because you never know who knows who…
You spend all your waking moments worrying about what to buy for each client, so they’ll know that you value their custom.
And do you buy a gift for all the client staff with whom you deal or just the head honcho?
You forged great business relationships with the project manager, the IT manager, and several of the technical support staff.
Do you give them all a gift or just the one who signs the contracts? If you do that, will you get the cold shoulder from your former client ‘buddies’?
Corporate no-nos
Then you discover that some companies have policies about receiving expensive gifts.
Uh oh, what if your carefully chosen Moroccan leather-bound address book is refused, and you can’t use it at your family’s Kris Kringle – not with your intended recipient’s initials gold-embossed on the cover.
Or the 12-year-old single malt is handed back with a serious shake of the head, and you know it will end up in your glass because Aunt Alice is a teetotaller.
Online shop until you drop
You almost work your mouse to death, browsing one online store after another. At last you find some inspiration. Wine gift bags! Everyone loves them. Everyone takes one (or more) with them to dine out, or to a BBQ or dinner with friends.
But wait, there’s more. You can actually buy some wine gift bags with wine – better still – a cocktail mix (gin and vermouth) in them! It’s the perfect solution. Gift some head honchos a wine cooler bag with a couple of bottles of wine in it, others with a gift box of gin and vermouth. And for the staff, just the fabulous wine bag.
No one will feel left out. Companies with policies against expensive gifts will welcome your wine gift bag, with wine or a gift box of gin.
Buy, buy and buy
So not only do you save the day with your inspired online shopping for fabulous wine cooler bags and gift wine, but you could also qualify for a bulk buying discount if you purchase ten or more.
Maybe it’s time to reward yourself too, with a wine cooler bag and cocktail mix. Bottoms up!
