CLIENT GIFT TRENDS FOR 2024
Corporate gifts for 2024 will need to check one or more of the following criteria to be an effective (and appreciated) token of gesture:
- Made from sustainable materials – Eco-friendly gifts create a better impression for your brand
- Of good quality and useful – It means they won’t just throw it away. Note that it doesn’t have to be expensive
- Experiential – Give clients a mini experience with a simple gift. Anything interactive is good.
- Adaptive – Specifically, can adapt to the new needs of clients like remote work and other forms of digitization
- Shows that you took the time to know their interest – Slapping on a logo isn’t enough. Client gifts need to reflect what they actually like, be it golf, pickleball, or food.
- Unique – Client gifts that are outside the box give you a better chance of gaining repeat business and fostering strong professional connections.
Let’s get started with the classics–those evergreen client gifts that work regardless of the timing of when they’re given.

GIFTS FOR THE NEW TYPE OF CLIENT
The new type of client has discovered fresh ways of doing things. Take hybrid work, for instance. Most businesses now offer flexible work hours. Mobility has become a huge factor for many industries. Simultaneously, we’ve also noticed a reevaluation of hyper-connectedness that has resulted in other businesses revisiting and going back to more traditional ways of working that offer person-to-person interactions. There’s a paradox presented here and it’s important to be sensitive to what engages clients in 2024.
Items seven to 11 are good starting points.
