Everything begins with an idea - Earl Nightingale.
This year, most companies would spend the same amount on corporate gifts as they did last year, most of them are likely to invest more in employee gifts rather than client gifts of which apparel and food are the popular choices. These are the findings of a survey on Corporate Spending – 2013 Corporate Gift-Giving Plans, conducted by the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) last month.
A detailed overview of the findings is given below:
Overall sales of corporate gifts similar to last year
There’s no significant change in the sales of corporate gifts this year as compared to last year, as most companies will be spending about the same amount on corporate gifts for employees as well as prospects/clients.
