Advice & Tips

You may immediately think of the holiday season as the time when businesses give corporate gifts to their clients. But there's no gift giving protocol that requires you to stick to the holiday season. In fact, you can separate yourself from the pack by giving in the off-season.

For example, think about giving a gift after the completion of a big project you've worked on with your client. Or how about recognizing a special event? Did your client just open a new office? Gifts are a thoughtful way to say "congratulations."

There are definitely many appropriate times to give gifts-there are also times when you absolutely should NOT give gifts. For instance, don't give a gift during a bidding process. It could easily be taken as bribery. And if you don't have a friendly or close relationship with a client, it's best to not to give gifts of any real significant monetary value.
