3 Practical Reasons for Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting is one of the best ways to grow and maintain your business. There are many reasons for corporate gifting that range from thanking consumers for their business to recognizing employees for outstanding work. But, the primary reason seems always to be the same. It is to sustain relationships and deepen the personal connection between the giver and the recipient.

using name tags for your corporate gifting this year is just as important as picking out the right wrapping and ribbons

Most companies agree that this fundamental reason is an opportunity to share your holiday cheer, connect with your clients and strengthen employee ties. Recruiting, retention and development are three other great reasons to give a corporate gift.

Getting Your Corporate Gifting Right

Giving

The holidays are built on the premise of giving and volunteering in your community. No matter the reason for giving anything, you should only expect one thing back: a friendly smile, a “please” or “thank you,” or maybe even a hug. But no matter what you give, it is the thought that counts.

Wrapping

Some people just possess the talent to wrap gifts perfectly, some don’t. But, no matter if you are one of these wonderful people or not, everyone loves to get a wrapped present. Don’t sell your gifts short with bland packaging or by not even wrapping them. Choose bright, happy and seasonal gift wrap for your corporate gifting.

Name Tags

Last is the most important, right? Well, we sure think so! Name tags and other personal identification products are great ideas for corporate gifts. Whether it is a new name badge for your employees or an executive desk wedge for your best customer, we are sure to have the right gift for your needs.

Spend the time and money on the wrapping to reflect the value of your client and employee relationships. But remember, choosing the right gift for your associates is just as important as the packaging.

Give new name tags to all of your employees.

Give top quality name plates to your office.

Be unique and give everyone a fun lanyard.

Giving Back: Name Tag Edition

Giving back is what it’s all about!

From giving time and money to those in need, each year Coller Industries strives to give back to our local community. And, each year, we like to show the appreciation we receive for these generous gifts. It’s like a thank you for a thank you!

Annual Donation: Granite Education Foundation (from Name Tag Experience 12/15/15)

Every year Coller Industries makes an effort to recognize its employees during the holiday season. Part of this recognition tends to extend into the surrounding community. And, in turn, this translates to donations to various parts of our community. For the past six years, Clyde and Gary Coller, the CEO and President, respectively, of Coller Industries Incorporated have generously donated monetary benefits to The Granite Education Foundation.

“It makes us more responsible in the community,” said Gary Coller. “Hopefully our customers appreciate when they see that we give back to our own community.”

Coller Industries Incorporated started donating to the GEF in 2009 and to day has donated over $37,000. We are happy to continue our annual support of this wonderful foundation. And as employees here at Coller Industries, it is a pleasure knowing that our employer is so generous with their time and money.

The Granite Education Foundation provides educational opportunities for Granite School District students. They educate students, teachers and members of our community on positive ways to impact the community.

The Granite Education Foundation has kindly supported our business by giving us these wonderful notes and thank yous. And now here they are for you, as our reader, to enjoy!

Included with thank yous from students and parents was a wonderful letter from the Foundation:

“This year, Granite Education Foundation and students from throughout Granite School District wanted to express our heart-felt thanks for your continued generosity and support. Enclosed you will find hand-made Valentine’s Day cards that our students created with YOU in mind.

In our opinion, YOU’RE AWESOME SAUCE, Valentine! Thanks for believing in our mission and for the extra boost you give students. We couldn’t accomplish what we do without YOU. You are O-‘FISH’-ally our favorite!”

Thank You and Happy New Year Wishes

As we come to a close of this great year, Coller Industries has to send a thank you to the most important aspect of our company: you, the customer.

We have seen growth in our company in many ways, and we have many people to thank for that. First, we have seen our website www.nametag.com go mobile and provide access to so many others that may have not seen it before. We have seen growth in sales and in repeat clients. We are ever so grateful for that!

We have also seen growth in our inventory. Earlier this year we were able to roll out our Speedy Badges and offer those to our clientele. Speedy Badges are so easy to use and come in three different colors. They are simple to assemble and are fully reusable. And, they have been a huge hit!

We have seen growth inside our company as well. We have a strong Customer Service Department who is ready and available to assist in any need a customer may have. They are a wonderful addition to our company. And, as customer service is our main goal, we want and need to make sure that our customers are happy with our products and that they match to the customer’s needs. Our Customer Service Department sees to that need and fulfills it with flying colors.

Production and Shipping also do a wonderful job with making sure all orders are produced and shipped appropriately and in a timely manner. Again, they assist with making sure that our customer’s needs are precisely met.

We have also seen growth in our Marketing and other departments. Marketing has made our website fully mobile and is working on other things to make sure that you, as our customer, are highly satisfied. Our first goal is to see that our customers are happy and satisfied with our products and that all needs are met when seeking personal identification products.

We would like to thank all of our wonderful customers for an outstanding year! You are the reason we are in business and we want to acknowledge that. And with that thank you, we also wish you a wonderful and happy New Year!

TOP 5: Holiday Name Tag Ideas

A simple how to list for name tag ideas during the holidays.

USE AS DRINKING GLASS TAGS

Name tag ideas can be very simple. Simply order a name tag of your choice and write the person’s name on it. Take it one step further and have the name tag punched with a hole to easily affix it to the wine or drinking glass stem.

TO/FROM “REUSABLE” GIFT TAGS

A great name tag idea for those who like to “go green.” Don’t throw away your tags from year to year! Custom made name tags can be made from plastic and engraved with “a gift from:” and then taped to each gift under your tree. Once the wrapping has been removed, collect the tags and save them for the next year.

USE ADHESIVE NAME BADGES FOR HOLIDAY GAMES

Adhesive name badges are a wonderful party item. Use these name badges for multiple games from “Who Am I?” to getting to know you games. Simply remove the backing and attach to your clothing. Once finished, these badges can be discarded.

USE NAME BADGE HOLDERS TO CREATE HOLIDAY MEMORY BOOKLETS

Every year people take dozens of photos of their holiday events. Make this year even more unique by creating memory booklets using name badge holders. Make sure to print your pictures the size of the holder and put them in an order that will be memorable. Choose from our vast variety of personalized ribbons to tie the pages together.

CREATE HOMEMADE ORNAMENTS OUT OF BLANK NAME BADGES

The sky is the limit on this project! Take any of our blank name badges and draw things or write names or memories in a permanent marker. Attach any ribbon you want to the back of the tag and hang it on your Christmas tree or another place that you want to showcase your homemade talents.

Whatever your use this year, make name tags a part of your life!

And, from all of us here at Coller Industries, we wish you a very merry Christmas!
