Corporate Gifting Made Easy
Looking for corporate gift ideas? Given the many considerations and options, finding the best corporate gift can be challenging. One of our favorite corporate gift is definitely cake. Delicious, aesthetic, and customisable – Cakes make an excellent corporate gift!
Importance of Corporate Gifts
Corporate gifting is an impactful way to strengthen corporate connections, build company spirit, and develop personal relationships. Sending your clients and partners relevant corporate gifts helps to show your appreciation for them and foster good associations with your business. Meanwhile, motivating your employees with gifts is an effective way to increase job satisfaction and loyalty. When employees feel valued as a team member, their morale and productivity are more likely to increase. And what better way to express your gratitude and create such lasting impressions than through a widely loved treat – Cake!
Be it showing appreciation for your employees and clients or celebrating a special milestone, cakes are a delightfully tasty way to share the joy. With customisable cakes, add a special touch for your favorite client (don’t worry, we won’t tell) or create a design unique to your brand for that extra important product launch. Recipients can tell whether effort was put into planning the corporate gift, so make it a memorable one by gifting a delicious and thoughtfully-customised cake.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Cake
There are a few key tips to choosing the right cake for corporate gifting.
First, consider the occasion. Be it seasonal, personal, or other special occasions, picking a relevant cake boosts the sincerity of the corporate gift. For example, to celebrate your company’s achievements and recognize your team’s efforts, a customised cake incorporating your brand or specific to that milestone could be the way to go. Perhaps an intricately-designed cake modeled after your company for your business’ 10th anniversary?
Next, take into account the relationship with the recipient. To illustrate, cakes for a personal celebration like birthdays differ based on the relationship with the birthday star. Should it be for an employee, companies may prefer group gifts where team members pitch in for the corporate gift. This promotes unity and minimizes breaches in professional boundaries. Closer co-workers may personalise suggestions based on the recipient’s interests, such as their favorite fashion brand (Chanel, anyone?). Should the birthday cake be for a valued client or business partner, a more formal cake would be appropriate, though simple customisation like incorporating their brand’s butterfly theme would definitely make it a more thoughtful gift.
Third, consider the recipient’s tastes and dietary restrictions. Be it for chocolate lovers or berries enthusiasts, cakes individualised to the recipient’s tastes convey more appreciation and sincerity. Make it more memorable by choosing the right type of cake – fresh cream, buttercream, or fondant. Fresh cream cakes are made with chiffon sponge with chantilly cream, buttercream cakes are preferred for fondant decoration while fondant cakes are coated in ganache and fondant. Choosing the perfect cake fitting your recipient’s preferences will leave a good taste in their mouth (literally). Being mindful of their dietary restrictions and preferences increases genuinity too, as recipients recognize that the corporate gift is not purely for the sake of gifting it.
Lastly, as with every gift, budget is an important factor when choosing the right cake as a corporate gift. Show your recipients how valued they are by going the extra mile with the above tips in mind. That said, it is important to note that cakes are likely to be shared. Hence, finding an appropriately priced and delicious cake would be wise. However, do remember that relationships are worth investing in.
