Corporate gifts serve a wide variety of purposes. Beyond giving something tangible, the goal is to leave a positive emotional impact on important clients. The point is not handing some material stuff to your staff but rewarding your team for impressive results, relentless effort, or flexibility in tough situations. But what gift should you choose for these vital stakeholders, especially when it feels like everyone already has everything they need? In today’s environmentally conscious and consumption-critical world, buying the perfect gift is not always straightforward. Below are some tips for you from Bluumo’s perspective.

A gift isn’t given from company to company but always from one person to another. Therefore, the gift should feel personal but not intrusive. It should also fulfill a need. Nothing is more frustrating than receiving or giving an item that serves no purpose. The gift should leave a positive emotional impact to the receiver.

While the thought behind the gift matters most, a corporate gift should also have a certain level of value. For example, presenting a pen with your company’s logo as a gift may provoke the opposite emotional reaction than what you intended. However, in some cases, the gift shouldn’t be overly valuable either. For instance, public officials often have strict limits on the value of gifts they are allowed to accept.

Wellness makes an ideal gift. It demonstrates thoughtfulness and consideration from the giver. A wellness gift produces no waste, and locally sourced services have minimal environmental impact. Additionally, by purchasing services from Bluumo, you support the local economy and small business owners in the area.

Besides gifting individuals, you can also give a gift to an entire team at once. Instead of rewarding a single key individual, why not celebrate the entire client company’s team? By arranging a pop-up massage station at the client’s office, you can bring smiles to 6–14 team members’ faces at once, strengthening your network many times over instead of focusing on just one person.

Here are some more concrete ideas on how wellness-focused services can work as corporate gifts:

• Book a massage day at your key client’s office and leave a positive emotional impact on the entire team on behalf of your company.
• Give gift cards for a massage delivered to the home offices for telecommuters.
• Celebrate your own team’s hard work or outstanding results together with a foot care or massage day.
• Combine a massage or foot care station with other activities at a health-focused office x-mass party.
• Offer your team (and yourself) a monthly recurring massage session.
• Customize a wellness package or wellness program with Bluumo to promote holistic well-being.

Bluumo sells wellness. With a Bluumo gift card, you can communicate that you care about the recipient and wish them well. A massage or therapeutic foot care session leaves a positive emotional impact, supports local small businesses, and has virtually no environmental footprint.
