Is Administrative Professionals’ Day Worth Celebrating? 

Admins don’t close the big sales. They don’t implement the merit raises. The don’t give the keynote speeches. They’re usually behind the scenes making all of those things happen, but rarely getting the credit. But we all know that there aren’t too many organizations who can survive without a solid administrative assistant. So, when we ask if Administrative Professionals' Day is worth celebrating, the short answer is YES!  Think about it – has your admin ever been out of the office for any length of time? How did your office do in his/her absence? Our money says that it was [...]

The Story Behind Our Ash Camp Blanket 

Product selection is one of the hardest parts of our business. We have to find products that are high quality, marketable, and will fit in one of our keepsake wooden boxes. Oh yeah, and because we only carry gifts that give back, we have to vet the suppliers to make sure they are laser-focused on achieving a mission that makes the world a better place. There aren’t very many suppliers who pass the beCAUSE minded qualification round. Only about 10% of the products we research fit the specs. We order samples of these products, and only about half of the [...]

How Much Should You Spend on Client Gifts?

When it comes to corporate gifts, you want to be Goldilocks – don’t spend too little, don’t spend too much, but spend just the right amount. If you underspend, you may leave your customers wondering if you really care about them at all. And if you overspend, you could make things awkward, or even come across as desperate. Neither is a good look. So, what is that “just right” number? The answer to this question isn’t one-size-fits-all. For businesses with a lower revenue/client, like many e-commerce businesses, a $100 gift per client will likely sink your business…quickly. However, for businesses, [...]

How a Mug Saves Orphans

We received a celebratory email a few months ago from a supplier telling us they were able to buy gasoline. Do you normally email your friends or customers when you fill your tank? We don’t either. But in Haiti at that time, this was a big win. People were literally being killed for gasoline. You see, Haiti’s history is riddled with coups, revolts, and human rights violations. Recently, gangs held many gas stations hostage, leaving Haitians without access to transportation for months. This left many businesses and hospitals with no choice but to close down. An article in Reuters explains [...]

Will You Make an Introduction?

When it’s done well, the person in charge of corporate gifting has the opportunity to impact the company culture, relationships with clients, and when they choose gifts that give back, they have the power to make a worldwide impact. Many companies spend more on corporate gifting than individuals. After all, in corporate gifting, the idea is that there’s a return on investment – whether that’s lower turnover, an increased number of referrals, or larger orders. In many industries, corporate gifts are a planned expense each year. This was true for my first company. Our corporate gifting budget was less than [...]

A Call to Action

Fair warning. This blog is a little different from our normal blogs. This blog isn’t focusing on the best wellness gift boxes for your employees, friends, or family. This blog is a call to action. Over the past year, several of our corporate gift suppliers have closed their doors. Businesses that have done good in the world, made exquisite products, and had a long track record of success disappeared from the landscape. And the world is worse off for it. Lovoso made beautiful, handcrafted pens. Their colorful wooden pens were the best-selling item at our most recent trade show. They [...]
