Send Branded Gifts to Clients to Help Grow Your Business
If You're Not Sending Branded Gifts to Clients You Should Be
A 2022 Business.com study found that almost 50% of those surveyed said they were more likely to continue to do business with a company after receiving a holiday gift. That number is even higher when the individual works for a smaller company.
Sending branded client gifts can be beneficial for several reasons:
Building and maintaining relationships: Client gifts can help foster stronger relationships with your clients. By showing appreciation and thoughtfulness, you create a positive impression and reinforce the connection you have with them.
Enhancing brand recognition: Branded gifts serve as a form of marketing and can help increase brand recognition. When clients use or display items with your logo or branding, it creates visibility and exposure for your company. It can also generate conversations and referrals when others inquire about the gift.
Differentiating from competitors: Sending unique, well-designed branded gifts can set you apart from your competitors. It demonstrates that you value your clients and are willing to invest in providing them with a personalized experience. This can help strengthen your position in the market and make your clients more likely to choose your services over others.
Increasing customer loyalty: Client gifts can foster a sense of loyalty and appreciation. When clients feel valued, they are more likely to remain loyal to your business and continue working with you in the long term. It can also lead to positive word-of-mouth recommendations and referrals, further expanding your customer base.
Remember, even if you are not sending branded client gifts your competitors probably are.

Not with Shadow Breeze. We have no minimum order quantities. Order 1 or 10,00 branded boxes.
2) Do I have to wait weeks for my branded gift boxes to be produced?
At Shadow Breeze we brand most gift boxes on-site. No need to wait weeks for boxes to be branded and shipped to us. When purchasing smaller quantities we can often brand your boxes the same day you order them.
