Corporate Sustainable Gifting FAQs

1. What to consider when looking for sustainable corporate gifts?

Regardless of whether sustainability is a key consideration in your search, the secret to successful corporate gifting campaigns don’t change. Inserting care and delight into each initiative starts with envisioning what would be the best receiving experience that stays true to your brand’s personality and values.

More often than not, companies focus too much on plastering logo everywhere, without considering the recipient’s experience and how it would affect the usefulness of the custom gifts & swag. 

In what we called the ‘recipient-first’ gifting experience, here are the fundamental factors we consider — Quality vs. Frequency, Practicality, Branding vs. Non-branding, and Value Alignment

Quality & Frequency:

Often that companies go for the cheapest option without taking into account quality, and thus perceived values, of the custom swag and gift. The decision to goes with the cheapest options usually stem from the desire to send gifts more often to stay top of mind. Counter-intuitively as it seems, it is proven to be more effective to gift less but gift better. 

Practicality:

Choose practical gifts that will be used daily to keep your brand top of mind. Practicality can change depending on the season and time of year, as well as the work/event context. For example, in the heat of summer, a portable fan would make a great gift. On the other hand, an upcycled luggage tag would be the perfect gift for holiday season as everyone is ready to go on their vacations. 

Branding vs. Non-branding:

Of course, at the end of the day, one key goal of corporate gifting campaigns is to create brand love and brand recall. However, excessive branding can be a pitfall and leads to negative impressions. In additiona, there are different way of creating brand correlation subtly and tastefully. For example, Alibaba worked with our verified partners to create beautiful upcycled backpack with their signature black and orange colours instead of putting a big logo on the bag. 

Value Alignment: 

What’s better way of showing your commitment and the values you stand for in everything you do, including corporate gifting campaigns? Select your gifts that are aligned with your corporate values will help to cement your brand image with the recipients.

2. Why buy eco-friendly swag and merchandise?

Generic, mass-produced OEM products won't enhance your brand's image. Stand out from the competition with sustainable branded swag and merchandise that lead the way.

No one's got time for a company that throws away swag that's as uninspiring as yesterday's leftovers. Communicate your values and build trust with unique, practical gifts that stand out in a crowd.

Last but not least, don’t you want to be the trendsetter that everyone looks up to, inspiring positive change in your community and industry?

3. What is a reasonable budget to set aside?

When it comes to budgeting for standout eco-friendly corporate gifts or swag, think beyond the ordinary. Since we're talking about quality over quantity, aim for a range of around $40 to $70. This ensures your gifts truly shine and reflect your brand's uniqueness.
