Planning for 2025: Simplify gifting and stay ahead

A new year brings new opportunities to strengthen relationships with thoughtful gifting. As 2025 approaches, it’s time to get organized, plan ahead, and find ways to make corporate gifting stress-free (yes, it’s possible!). Whether it’s employee appreciation, work anniversary milestones, or holiday surprises, starting the year with a clear plan can save time, reduce stress, and make gifts more meaningful.

Here are some tips to make 2025 a standout year for corporate gifting, along with ways we can help you stay on top of every occasion.

Keeping track of important occasions is the first step to a successful gifting strategy.

• Identify milestones early: Make a list of birthdays, work anniversaries, major client contract renewals, and company-wide celebrations.
• Create campaigns early: Create your gift programs early, then automate it so it goes out on its own.
• Seasonal opportunities: Remember to plan for events like Employee Appreciation Day in March, Administrative Professionals' Day in April, or December holidays.

Pro tip: CorporateGift.com can sync with HR systems, CRM, and more. Set up an easy integration to sync milestone dates with our gifting platform.

Our platform makes gifting effortless and effective.

• Personalized options: Browse a curated selection of customizable gifts across categories like gourmet food, apparel, and tech.
• Address book: Use our easy-to-upload contact feature to send gifts on the fly. Watch our tutorial to learn how to use our address book.
• eGift campaigns: Let recipients choose their perfect gift with our eGift collections. You set the budget and they select what they love most.

The holiday season is one of the busiest times for corporate gifting, but other peak seasons might apply to your industry or business.

• Order early: High-demand products may sell out closer to major holidays or events. Planning now means better inventory availability and more options.
• Leverage customization: For branded gifts, allow longer lead times for embroidery, printing, or engraving.
• Budget strategically: Take advantage of special pricing on bulk orders to save on costs.

Gifting isn’t just about the item — it’s about the connection it creates.

• Include personal messages: Add thoughtful messages to each gift for an extra personal touch. We offer pre-written templates to help you find the right words, or the ability to add a video greeting message.
• Gift thoughtfully: Opt for items that reflect the recipient’s interests, whether it’s curated gift baskets, gifts for the home, or tech accessories.
• Celebrate diversity: Add an extra level of meaning to your gift choices. Explore our personal value categories to find gifts from women-owned, black-owned, charitable businesses, and more.

• Try branded collections: Upload your company logo and preview how it will look on curated products.
