What are the best corporate gifts?

Pasolivo Olive Oil Gifts
The term “positive workplace environment” is one most employees and working adults are likely aware of, and for good reason.

Gourmet and Healthy Extra Virgin Olive Oil Gifts for Clients, Coworkers, Friends or Family 

California High Quality EVOO
As 2022 begins, how many of us are making plans to be healthier?  I know I am, but how? There are many ways we can increase our health this year. Some of them seem way harder than others, like running a marathon or maybe goat yoga.  While these are both great ideas, I suggest that we all start with something a little bit easier. Add more quality olive oil to our diet. For the fifth year in a row, the Mediterranean diet ranks as the best overall diet according to U.S. News & World Report. If you don’t already know, the main component of the Mediterranean diet is extra virgin olive oil. Now I don’t know about you, but I would love to add a good olive oil to my diet and finish the year healthier than I started. (Maybe I can add in the marathon and the goat yoga next year. 😊 )    Be careful though when purchasing the extra virgin olive oil for your new health plan.

The Most Important Gift for Real Estate Agents Is NOT the Closing Gift

Almost every successful real estate agent that I know gives a closing gift. It's almost expected at this point. Do you know what happens when something is expected? It becomes a commodity instead of a brand builder. The question then becomes, how do you raise the bar on client gifting without finding ways to outspend your competition? Let me start with a couple of facts: Around 21% of your real estate clients will be repeat clients. Another 21% will come from client referrals. That means that approximately 42% of real estate business is directly tied to client relationships. That's for an average agent. In reality, it's much higher for rock star agents. Investing in client relationships is playing the long game, but it's the smart play. The most important date to give a gift to your client is NOT the day they sell or purchase their home. It is one year later. Your clients will probably not be surprised or moved by your closing gift unless it is extravagant or exceptionally thoughtful. However, receiving a gift on the anniversary of their...

4 Items Every Financial Firm’s Gift Policy Should Include

Gifts are a tricky part of any financial agent or adviser's practice. On one hand, the giving and receiving of gifts is SEC regulated. On the other hand, it's a key part of growing and nurturing a financial practice but ruled by words like excessive and extravagant that are highly subjective. That is why every financial firm should have its own gift policy that it follows so that during even routine audits, it is able to produce written evidence of its commitment to being compliant as well as being a benchmark to check for disparities in practice. While these gift policies will vary from firm to firm, each and every one should include some version of the following items to ensure that all of its financial advisers are clear about what is acceptable or inappropriate. The Foundational Pieces of an Effective Financial Firm's Gifts Policy (more…)

Here Is the One Simple Fix to Making Your Client Gifting More Effective

The task of client gifting is often relegated to executive assistants or office managers, but in reality, their jobs are the most hectic in your organization. The best person to manage your client gifting is probably not in your office at all. There is perhaps no harder decision in business than to know what to own and what to delegate. Knowing which tasks to outsource might be just as challenging. Partnering with a third-party vendor to manage and execute your client gifting strategy ensures that your gifts are strategically thought out, timely, and above all, given the proper attention to make them unique and memorable experiences. Here are some of the questions you should ask a potential vendor when choosing a client gifting concierge to help you develop and execute a more effective gifting strategy. (more…)
