5 Simple Steps to Branded Holiday Business Gifts

Are you wondering where to find holiday business gifts that stand out? Are you searching for memorable branded gift items that won’t be thrown away? If holiday business gifting is on your to do list and you are looking for a creative gift that makes an impact, you are in the right place!

Whether you are shopping for unique client and customer thank you gifts to end the season or gifts to show your appreciation for hard working employees, M&G's signature Add-Your-Own-Logo gifting program is the answer to all of your holiday business gifting.

Our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program is popular with businesses of all types and sizes for a reason! It's the easiest way to create semi-custom gifts for all of your business gifting needs.

Our team of gifting experts work with you to craft thoughtful and professional gift sets for any occasion. All you have to do is simply choose from our curated collection of ready to ship gifts and we’ll add your business logo and branding for stand out holiday gifts. We can even add your logo or branding to gifts inside of the gifts to help you have an even bigger impact with your business holiday giving this year! 

Let's dive in and talk about the three simple steps that businesses from car dealerships to event photographers to travel agents to health care provider's to tech companies and so many more use to have simple, easy to deliver branded gifts with little fuss.

Step 1: Low Order Minimums

Possibly the best part of our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program is the low order minimum requirement for gift ordering. We only require a minimum of 5 gift sets, so even if you are a small business shopping for just a few thoughtful gift sets, we have you covered.

We hear from businesses over and over again that they are frustrated when they are forced to order thousands of one item just to make the price reasonable. And then the quantities don't match up with multiple gift items and they are left with lots of wasted leftovers or unused partial gifts.

This type of business gifting is not practical or economical for businesses, which is why we intentionally offer a low gift set ordering minimum of only 5 gifts for our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program.

Step 2: Flexible Ordering

We also hear from our business gifting clients who are frustrated when they have to start so far in advance of their gifting needs or event just to have high quality custom branded gifts. Sometimes when you're planning an event or you're at a company and doing a million other things, advance planning isn't always possible when it comes to holiday.

But, this doesn't mean that you should be shut out from having top quality holiday gifts that are reflective of your brand. We purposefully allow for flexible ordering timelines and options with quick turn-arounds with our  Add-Your-Own-Logo Program.

Lead times for our semi-custom gift sets are much shorter than designing a custom gift basket, so if you are shopping for branded business gifts on a tight deadline, the Add-Your-Own-Logo Program is the perfect fit.

Flexible ordering options make the Add-Your-Own-Logo Program ideal for any gifting needs all year round, and especially during the holidays when businesses are trying to pack it all in before the end of the year.

We have two options when it comes to ordering semi-custom branded gift sets with the Add-Your-Own-Logo Program:

• Option 1 is to order business branded gifts on demand, as you need them. This option is great for year round employee or client appreciation gifts that you want to send without a set schedule. We’ll ship these gifts out as you order. Businesses like this gifting option during the holidays too because they can send individualized gift set with different themes to different clients, customers or employees. 
• Option 2 is to order your branded business gifts in bulk, like a year end holiday gift or a corporate holiday celebration. These gifts will be sent out all at once to your recipients.

Step 3: Options For Branding

Now that we’ve covered the basics on ordering your semi-custom branded gift sets, let’s talk branding options to help your business gifts get credit with a unique marketing opportunity, and stand out from the crowd in a busy holiday season.

We often hear from our gifting clients that they want options to up level their business gifts to make them not only on brand and in line with their company's values, but feel extra special during the holiday season.

When you join our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program, we have a number of ways to personalize your gift sets, both inside and outside of the gift including:

• Option 1 is a gift tag with your logo on it, and ribbon on the outside of the gift set with a notecard branded with your logo on the inside.
• Option 2 is a foil-printed bellyband with your logo on the outside of the gift with a notecard with your logo on the inside.

Adding your business branding and logo to a gift tag or belly band is an easy way to elevate your corporate gifting and make each gift set professional looking, no matter which gift set you choose.

Step 4: Options to Brand Items Inside

We are most excited about this new addition to our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program and that is the option to brand items inside your gift! This option is available on select gifts only where we will replace an existing item with a comparable item that is branded with your logo.

If you're looking to take your holiday business gifts up a level and go from basic and boring to truly special, the option to not only brand the outside of the gift, but also add branding to the gifts inside is a feature that makes our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program different that most other business gift options out there.

Think branded travel mugs or water bottles with your business' logo or company's brand phrase that gift recipients can use and enjoy. Branded gifts have the added bonus of giving all year long over and over again as recipients use and enjoy your holiday gift long after the holidays are over.

Step 5: Free Shipping

Who doesn’t love free shipping? We are happy to offer our Add-Your-Own-Logo Program clients free shipping within the United States, with options to add rush shipping, if you are on a tight deadline.

This added convenience of our  Add-Your-Own-Logo Program not only ensures your business holiday gifts arrive on time before the crush of holiday breaks and end of the year shut downs, but also makes your holiday gifting experience hassle-free and cost-effective for you. By taking advantage of our free shipping offer, businesses can stay within budget while still delivering high-quality, branded holiday gifts that leave a lasting impression on clients, employees, or partners.

If you are ready to get your business holiday gift shopping off the to do list, be sure to reach out to our gifting experts to see how the Add-Your-Own-Logo Program can work for you. We would love help you send out professional and thoughtful gift sets, whether for clients and customers or employees. 

The holiday season is already busy enough, so let our team help make the season just a bit easier with gifts that will wow. 

Happy branded gifting!
