As a gift and incentives consultant I have personally witnessed many of my clients waste allot of time and money when looking for a way to show their customers, clients, and employees their appreciation.
Many times, we are forced to believe that we must spend hundreds of dollars to show our true appreciation.
That is simply not the truth though.
We have all been given those gifts by our employers that you look at and somehow find the way to say.
"Thank you.
" For those of us that have been in the position of being in charge of finding the right gift, at the right price, and in time always proves to be a daunting task.
In my consulting, I have found many people and businesses that have been persuaded to purchase gift baskets, hams, knives, or maybe even gift cards.
Of those, the most effective is certainly gift cards.
Gift cards allow the recipient the option to choose what it is that they want.
The problem with knives, hams, or gift baskets is that there is no way of knowing that the recipient will receive them and be excited about them.
I was actually told of an experience, from one of my clients, that they gave hams out for the holidays and were approached by a very offended gentleman in their staff.
The gentleman was upset about what the company had given him as it was, in his spiritual beliefs, an offensive gesture to give such a gift.
So often we forget to truly think about how the gift recipients will receive their gifts-that is- how will they interpret your gift.
I have created many personalized incentive programs for my clients over the years and have successfully helped many these companies implement those plans into their business.
There is one one program, though, that a friend introduced me to that is by far the most cost effective, time efficient, and overall has proven to work time and time again.
This program is simple.
It is called the Ribbon Gift Collections.
In essence, it is a gift card that the recipients can use to choose from a vast array of gift items and choose the one gift that they truly want.
There is no longer any need of finding the one gift that everyone will want.
Another great aspect that is great about this program is that it allows you to be capable of giving a gift that no one will know the monetary value of it.
The program is also cost effective.
You can now simply log on to the website and choose any of our 20+ collections that range from $35-$1000.
All with free shipping for you and your recipients.
When your recipient receives the the gift card from you they will find a code on the back and a link to a website.
They will then use the link and code to log into a website to choose their own personal gift out of many options presented to them.
After they choose their gift the the submit their selection and their gift will be at their doorsteps within 3-5 days.
I have been showing this incentives program to many companies and every one who has used it has had nothing but great experience.
I have also used these as graduation, anniversary, and holiday presents.
This year, we have already showed several friends the perfect gift for their significant other for valentines day.
