Let’s explore how to choose the perfect corporate gift that will work for your brand and the 5 key criteria to keep in mind.

5 Key Criteria for Choosing a Corporate Gift
It is necessary to choose a visual aid that is appropriate for the topic and audience.
1. QUALITY
A corporate gift represents your brand. Poor quality means poor impressions: materials, craftsmanship, and durability matter. Figma sends its employees and clients hoodies made from organic cotton with minimalist designs — a wardrobe staple people want to wear daily, not just at work.
2. USEFULNESS
A corporate gift should be more than just attractive — it should be functional. Stylish water bottles, comfortable backpacks, charging devices, or sleek notebooks are items that become part of daily life, constantly reminding users of your brand. Zoom focuses on gifts that enhance productivity: ergonomic laptop stands, thermal mugs, and remote work accessories.
3. PERSONALIZATION
A logo is standard. But a gift personalized with the recipient’s name, a custom engraving, or details reflecting their interests adds emotional value.
Notion includes personalized thank-you notes in their gift sets, turning even basic merchandise into meaningful keepsakes.
4. TREND AWARENESS
Corporate gifts evolve with the times. Eco-friendly materials, minimalist design, and technology such as NFC tags or AR codes are not just trends — they are expectations.
5. PACKAGING
First impressions count. Aesthetic, creative, and eco-friendly packaging enhances the gift’s impact. Companies like Apple understand that packaging is part of the product experience and give it as much attention as the product itself.
