Corporate Chocolate Gifts were a hit 30 years ago. Today they are a hit as ever and they still will be in 30 years in the future. But you have to observe a couple of very simple but all the more important secret rules.
It is no surprise that it is getting more and more difficult to stand out in today’s cloud of competition. Just to take the guesswork out of where we are going with this: Corporate Chocolate Gifts is the answer to your prayers!
And why exactly are corporate chocolate gifts such a devine invention? you might ask. Well, you see you are not allowed to bribe your clients. That is against the law. But there is no law against staying in your clients minds, positively and putting a smile on their faces. There is certainly no law against giving a person a small sign of appreciation or even a token of your gratitude.
Let’s face it you depend on your customers’ benevolence towards you. You need them to know that you are their best choice for whatever you are delivering. And you need to make sure they know factually (because you deliver the best product and the best service), but they also need to know emotionally. You want them to like you on a personal basis. You want to make sure that the rapport between you and your client is a positive one.
Corporate chocolate gifts are a very easy way of keeping the emotional rapport to your client. And when I say client I mean all levels and depths of your client. Start with the secretary, because she is in control of the door to the boss. If she likes you she is much more likely to go the extra mile and help you to get that ultimately important appointment. So she gets a corporate chocolate gift that will make her smile for several days. And if the gift is laid out smartly, there will be something in there that she can keep on her desk and that will remind her of that incredibly delicious chocolate she had received from you. It is also like a small trophy. It will stay on her desk and tell the other secretaries that she had hunted down the sympathy of people around her.
Then go to the next level, the bosse’s assistant. Make sure that she or he gets a different chocolate gift, if the secretary received a small basket of assorted milk chocolates, give an assortment of liquor chocolate sticks to her or make it a small corporate chocolate gift basket. Perhaps the gift to the assistant should be something that says thank you on the box or the chocolate itself.
Of course, the boss and decision maker will receive the largest corporate chocolate gift from you. After all he or she is responsible for your success. If you can, find a chocolate gift that consists of several smaller portions that the boss will be able to divide up and distribute amongst other people under his influence and a part that will be obviously for him and his family. Such a corporate chocolate gift basket could look like this:
- several small assorted bars of regular dellicious chocolates,
- soft and smooth caramels,
- decadent chocolate covered nuts,
- scrumptious gourmet fudge
- add a bottle of wine and a book with lots of tasty looking pictures of the best chocolates all over the world with a short description of each of those regions.
Make sure that the size and value of the basket will match what the recipient will be able to accept as a gift. It should remain a gift amongst friends and should not look like a bribe!
