The current pandemic has not only caused employees to work remotely in unusual circumstances, but customers also have been missing out on products and services they rely on. As businesses slowly reopen and welcome customers and staff back, organizations need to show appreciation and say thank you.
A great way to inspire people and win good favor is by giving away welcome-back presents. This will not only make your recipients feel valued but will also highlight the efforts you are putting as a brand to serve your customers and employees. However, gifting just about anything won’t cut it. Your gifts need to be thoughtful, useful, and impactful.
Listed below are four vital tips that will help you with your gifting decision.
1) Opt for Made-In-USA Items
Since 2020 has also been the year of economic uncertainty, we should all do our part of supporting local brands. An easy way to support the economy is by choosing domestic promo products to giveaway. Your customers will also feel great about receiving American-made products.
What’s more, you can expect quicker turnarounds since products are not ordered from overseas. When you combine this with stringent U.S. quality control protocols that manufacturers need to comply with, you will be providing your customers with high-quality items that arrive on time.

2) Gift Feel-Good Products
We all can agree that social distancing has left us feeling distant and disconnected. During these challenging times, many businesses want to convey motivational and positive messages with their branding. However, it is difficult to do that if they can’t interact with their core customers or staff who are remotely working.
One way to overcome this is by giving away feel-good promo items. By doing this, your business is saying “ Hey, we know these are hard times. Here’s a gift to cheer you up.” This kind and simple gesture will go a long way in making your staff and customers feel supported.
