Is Your Business Ready for the Holiday Season? 

September 20, 2024 by Lisa Paden

Is Your Business Ready for the Holiday Season

It’s that wonderful time of the year-fall is here! The season of delicious scents, vibrant colors and cozy vibes. 

If you’ve received these newsletters for some time, you know this is my favorite time of the year. Fall also triggers the beginning of the holiday season around The Personal Gifting Co. Actually, we’ve been thinking about the holidays since January. But as the giving season approaches, a special kind of excitement fills the air. It’s a time for celebration, connection, and giving back to those who have made a meaningful impact throughout the year. Whether with family, friends, clients, or business partners, the holiday season brings a unique opportunity to show appreciation. 

Since starting The Personal Gifting Co, one of my goals has been to make gift-giving easy and memorable. So, with that, I want to share some exciting news with you: we are thrilled to announce the launch of The Personal Gifting Co.’s first-ever Holiday Gifting Catalog! The catalog has thoughtfully curated gift ideas and gifting tips to help you make a great impression this holiday season and any time of the year. So stay tuned! 

Is Your Business Ready for the Holiday Season? 

Holiday gifting isn’t just a nice gesture — it’s a strategic move, especially for businesses. Starting your holiday gifting can relieve stress as you move closer to the holidays. When done thoughtfully, it serves as a reminder that you value the relationship, which can help you stay top of mind as the year wraps up and plans for the next year begin.

Don’t let the holiday rush dictate your choices. Start planning early to ensure you have the time to select thoughtful gifts that align with your company brand and with the recipient in mind. Early gifting is the key to beating the holiday shipping rush and ensuring your gifts arrive on time, without stress.

As years past, there will likely be shipping delays and inventory shortages due to the busy holiday season. By planning your corporate gifts ahead of time, you’ll avoid the rush and ensure that your gift is received on time. Gifting ahead of the holiday rush helps you stand out. It gives recipients time to enjoy their gifts throughout the holiday season — not just after the rush.

The Gift of Thoughtfulness

A well-thought-out gift reflects the effort you put into your business relationships. When you choose something that resonates with the recipient, it goes beyond just the material value — it shows that you’ve taken the time to consider what they’d appreciate. Our upcoming Holiday Gift Catalog will feature options and ideas, making choosing a gift easier. 

The holiday season is a time to reflect on the partnerships and collaborations that have helped your business grow. Meaningful gifts can reinforce those relationships and set the tone for the new year. Whether you’re looking to show appreciation for your loyal customers or to thank your hardworking employees, we’re here to help you make a great impression.

Stay Tuned for Our Catalog Launch!

Our 2024 Holiday Gift Catalog is a testament to our commitment to give you quality gifts that the recipient will love and treasure. So stay tuned for the official launch, and start planning your holiday gifting now. Whether you’re shopping for clients, partners, or loved ones, we’re confident that our curated selections will offer something that makes your holiday season extra special.The holidays are just around the corner, so don’t wait!

The Personal Gift Basket Co Goes to Market

July 31, 2023 by Lisa Paden

It’s been a busy and productive couple of weeks at The Personal Gift Basket Co. We are working on several fun and exciting things in the background that I can’t wait to share with you in the coming months. So stay tuned! I can share something exciting: recently, we attended the Atlanta Market, and I’m super excited about all the beautiful new gifts and food items we found there. We spent five jam-packed days meeting the vendors we’ve done business with for years. We also connected with new companies with unique products that fit our gifting brand. After the five days of shopping, my body felt like I had been in a boxing ring, but it was so worth it. Now that we are back, it’s time to create beautiful gift designs with our new inventory. So stay tuned!

Its All About The Relationship

January 20, 2021 by Lisa Paden

It is much more expensive to acquire a new client than it is to keep a current one. Satisfied clients result in loyalty, repeat business, and spreading your good name around town, resulting in referrals.

Below I share six simple ways to help you keep a happy client.

1. Share a Smile (even on the phone)

Corporate America taught me that a smile, even on the phone, is contagious. Most business today is done virtually, with zoom calls and conference calls, sometimes the camera is off, and all they hear is your voice. It’s said you can “hear” a smile; that’s because your tone of voice sounds cheerful when you’re smiling. One of the easiest ways to appear welcoming is to smile. 

2. Thank your clients

Sincerely thank your clients. Make showing appreciation a regular part of your client’s relationship with you. Thanking your clients can look as simple as a handwritten note. Let your clients know you value and appreciate their business.

3. Listen and remember

Show your clients that you listen to their needs and feedback. Listening and acting on what you have heard is the key to client retention and loyalty. Remember and document important client dates, events, hobbies, and family names. Doing this shows you care.

4. Honesty is the best policy

It’s never fun to be the bearer of bad news, but your clients will trust and value your opinion if you always speak the truth. If you must give bad news, be prepared to offer possible solutions.

5. Give a gift that you know they’ll like

If you find out that a client is a fan of a local sports team, consider getting them tickets to a game. Perhaps they mentioned they like scotch or whiskey. Customizing gifts is a great way to show your clients you remember what they tell you.

6. Keep lines of communication open

Because we cannot see each other face-to-face as much as we would like,  staying on top of communication is vital. Replying to client e-mails and returning calls in a timely manner. Keeping the client in the know as to what your company is doing, like a blog, newsletter, or other forms of social media, is an excellent way to stay connected.

3 Ways to Leave a Lasting Impression With Your Clients

October 22, 2020 by Lisa Paden

Let me ask a question: What steps do you have in place to help make a great impression with your clients? Hopefully, this is not a difficult question for you, but if it is, you could be missing out on opportunities to retain customers and grow your clientele with referrals. 

Being a small business gives you a slight advantage when making an impression with your customers. It’s much easier to go above and beyond or add a personal touch with each customer. Being able to touch them gives you a huge advantage over your larger competitors. So, what exactly does it mean to “touch” your customers? These are interactions that occur during the customer’s relationship with you.

Leaving a lasting impression should be incorporated into every relationship, no matter how big or small. Why? Because if you give a lasting impression, you can not only create loyal, life-long customers, but they will become your marketing mouthpiece, which will help grow your business. 

How does this look, you ask? Well, you know your customers better than anyone, and you know what it takes to impress and wow them. Below I’m sharing a few ideas to help get your creative juices flowing. 

Handwritten Communications

Nothing shows you went the extra mile more than a handwritten note. A handwritten note seems like such a small gesture, but it goes a long way in making someone’s day. I’m sure you can think back to when you would receive a letter or note from someone and how that made you feel. In the world of emails and auto-responses, getting something handwritten in the mail can make a lasting impression. 

Presentation is Key

We all know the excitement of receiving a gift but receiving a beautifully curated gift is on a whole new level. How do you make opening a plain corrugated shipping box worthwhile? By making the presentation of the gift memorable. A thoughtfully curated gift makes the unboxing experience worthwhile. 

Remember the Details

Developing relationships with your customers is essential to building loyalty and retention. Customers sometimes reveal details about their personal and professional lives with you. Knowing special occasions, kids’ names, or even the family pet, leaves a lasting impression on the customer. 

Gifts are an excellent way to show appreciation and to make a great impression. We are here to assist you with your gifting needs and help you stay top of mind with your clients.
