Singapore National Day Parade is one week away from happening and corporate owners are looking for gifts supplier.

What issues could arise in choosing a corporate gifts supplier in Singapore? Nothing as sort, but does not the delivery and quality are doubtable? As a corporate, you need fine quality products to gift many people before the national parade.

The delivery time cannot be compromised further. So which supplier to finalize on short notice and on what tips!

As a business, you know how much it is to keep the network happy and channeling for other companies and your employees’ appreciation. You cannot miss anyone and on-time things needed to get done.

For all these questions and worries, here are three professional hints to choose yourself a gift supplier to deliver your selected item on time.

Reputation

You should ensure that the supplier you are choosing has completed their taken order on time or not. Check their profile online or ask your HR to see through their work. It will assure you of the supplier’s work pace and importance.

Prices

This hint is not another tricky one; it is tricky. A gift company may offer you good price for the good products, but what if you are paying less and the company deliver cheap products. You cannot do anything about that after delivery. So, make sure that you check the products and pay the right price. There are gift companies offer value for money products.

Quality

You will feel bad if you pay a ton of money on a product that looks cheap and is fragile. Nobody wants to pay for that product. Moreover, giving a low quality gift can damage your reputation in front of the customer, client, or business associate. So better ensure the quality of your gift before making payment.

Last, to share with the readers, choose your corporate gifts suppliers in Singapore after seeing these three conditions. You can get good quality at a low price, but be sure not to waste money on cheap quality and pricing. For more and gifts, click on Switts Gifts.  

Choice List of Corporate Gifts for Executives

Choosing a corporate gift for an executive is a task that keeps Human Resource busy running the trials and products repeatedly. Indeed, setting your mind on the perfect choice is tiresome, and in the corporate setting, it brings stress.

Well, we have been thinking about people who receive and send corporate gifts on some occasion or to glorify the presence of the person knows as an executive.

Who is this executive? As per Wikipedia, a business executive is a person who has duties for expanding the business, sales of a product, or handling the important task of an organization. This person is not chosen randomly for the job. The experience, qualifications and different roles in an organization made him the executive for good reasons.

With a single gift, either the person is handling operations nationally or internationally, tells him that he is an important person. It shows the care and recognition a person needs to work more effectively.

Indeed, gifting gets more complicated for people a company cares because from there, expectations may arise, and from your side, expectations will rise. What could be done to put a final mark of sending a gift?

There is a list of gifts for an executive:

  • Decanters
  • Unique Kitchenware
  • Outdoor Gifts
  • Barware
  • Travel Accessories
  • Desk Products
  • Wearable
  • Phone Accessories

Before you select one of the items, make sure you are choosing the best one for the person.

For example, if the executive is a sales team head and staying overseas on business, then unique kitchenware, wearable and phone accessories are perfect.

However, if the executive is making progress within the company by handling things over the desk, then desk products such as personalized pens and sticky-notes, including travel accessories, are better to give.

There are other products that you can gift him for his clients like customized pen holders, bags, power banks, and notebooks. Leaving here the thoughts, choose the best corporate gifts for an executive because this person has an important place in an organization and not because you must choose something. A personal choice for formal gifting products means a lot to people doing their job best.

Tips on designing the perfect customised lanyard for your event

Unknown to many of us, the simple act of slinging a lanyard over your neck can actually do a great deal for your brand. Our torso is one of the most prominent parts of our entire body and displaying a lanyard with your brand’s name engraved in bold across it can actually help increase your brand exposure. At SWITTS, we provide several options for you to customise your lanyards and transform it into the perfect corporate gift for your clients.

Material of the Lanyard

We have several different materials which you can choose from for your lanyard. This includes cotton, tubular, polyester and woven. The polyester lanyard is the most popular material and is suitable for most events due to its strength and ability to withstand wear and tear resulting from daily use. It also dries very easily and does not shrink when exposed to moisture. The tubular lanyards are made from tube-stitched polyester, similar to that of a shoelace. Due to its light weight and comfort, this material is especially popular amongst sports enthusiasts. This would be a prime choice if you are faced with a limited budget as it offers outstanding performance at an affordable price. However, if you do have another material in mind, do let us know and we will customise it according to your needs!

Attachment of the Lanyard

There are several attachments of the lanyard which you can choose from, depending on your needs. These include a safety breakaway clip, oval chip, lobster clip, crocodile chip and a double crocodile chip. A breakaway clip offers an enhanced safety option, allowing the lanyard to automatically disconnect when placed under pressure. This eliminates the chances of choking occurring. On the other hand, other attachments such as the oval clip and the crocodile clip provide a very firm support for your attached name cards, ensuring that they do not fall off even when engaging in more rigorous activities.

Breakaway Lanyard

Imprints on the Lanyard

We also have a range of unique imprints available if you’d like to get customised lanyards in Singapore. You can choose to engrave your company’s brand onto the lanyards along with any design or theme specifications which you may prefer. The imprints on our lanyards can differ from affordable one-coloured designs to detailed multi-coloured dye-sublimation imprints. If you have a certain design in mind, do let us know and our experienced designers can help transform these ideas into reality!

How your business could actually benefit by providing GWPs

If you still do not know what a GWP stands for, it actually refers to a Gift with Purchase. This usually arrives in the form of a complimentary or discounted gift that is given when someone purchases one or more products. Many companies/brands provide GWPs to their customers which either serves as a token of appreciation or to encourage sales. However, the benefit which a GWP can confer actually goes far beyond that.

Drive sales/purchase

For one, a GWP would definitely provide an added incentive for customers to increase their spending in order to meet the minimum purchase criteria and qualify for the complimentary gift. This in turns leads to an increase in the store or brand’s average sale. GWPs can also serve as a way to increase the engagement with the customer. After establishing a more personal connection with the customer, GWPs can be used to provide an added level of personalisation to the customer. For example, a GWP can be carefully selected based on the wants of the customers and provide the customer with an even greater purchase value. In addition, a GWP can also help create increased brand awareness amongst potential customers. For example, a skincare brand which offers a technological product as a GWP could help create awareness for its brand when its customers utilise the GWP and other consumers become exposed to the skincare brand as well.

Motivate instant purchase

GWPs can also serve to increase the conversion rate of customers. By providing a deadline, for the distribution of GWPs, this provides a shorter window of opportunity to customers and motivates them to buy now rather than wait. With this increase in purchase intent, it may also make it easier for your company to cross-sell other products or services to these motivated customers.

Foster stronger ties

Lastly, GWPs can be used to foster a stronger relationship with your top-tier customers. For example by creating a personalised corporate gift you could schedule a visit with one of these customers and leverage on this gift to recommend your latest product or service to them. This personalised “shopping experience” felt by the customer can in turn lead to purchase and a stronger loyalty to your brand.

As can be seen, there are numerous performance benefits which your business can reap from the offering of a GWP to your customers. In Singapore, there are several corporate gift companies which can help provide you with the perfect gift to meet your organisational goals. At SWITTs Singapore, we promise to provide you with customised corporate gifts for your customers which would also meet your business requirements.
