It’s that time of year again – Christmas is just around the corner, and with it comes the age-old tradition of corporate gift giving.
For businesses large and small, sending out corporate gifts is a great way to show your clients and employees that you appreciate their business – and it can also be a great way to boost sales. Increasing customer retention and their annual spend is far more likely from a customer who feels appreciated and rewarded with a nice gourmet corporate gift.
There are plenty of benefits to giving corporate gifts, but it’s important to make sure you’re doing it right. Avoid common mistakes, choose the right gifts, and make sure your gifts are well received with these tips.

The benefits of corporate gift giving

There are plenty of reasons to give corporate gifts, but the most important one is that it’s a great way to show your appreciation for your clients and employees.
Sending a gift shows that you’re thinking about the person, and it’s a great way to build and maintain relationships. It’s also a great way to show your appreciation for someone’s business.
Corporate gift giving can also be a great way to boost sales. If you send a gift to a client or prospect, they’ll be more likely to do business with you in the future. And if you send a gift to an employee, they’ll be more likely to be productive and stay with your company.
Giving corporate gifts is a win-win for everyone involved. So what are you waiting for? Start showing your appreciation today!

The best corporate gifts to give this christmas

Choosing the right corporate gift can be tricky, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, think about what the person would actually want or need. A good rule of thumb is to choose something that is both useful and unique.
Second, consider the budget. You don’t want to spend too much or too little on a gift, so it’s important to find something that is both affordable and appropriate.
Finally, make sure the gift is something that can be used and enjoyed. A nice bottle of wine or a some luxury gourmet food items will surprise and delight the recipent and as the gourmet goodies are consumed over weeks or months they will think of you.
Remember, the best corporate gifts are those that are both useful and unique. Gifting Hunter Valley Gourmet goodies means they get to experience boutique local produce not commonly available outside of the region, every sip of wine and bite of food will be special and unique.
Hunter Valley Hampers is always looking for those special boutique producers creating food and condiments which are unique and memorable tasting experiences.

How to make sure your corporate gifts are well received

Once you’ve chosen the right gifts, it’s important to make sure they’re well received. There are a few things you can do to make sure your gifts are appreciated.
First, make sure you wrap them well. Gifts that are poorly wrapped or have damaged packaging will not be well received. Second, include a card or note with each gift. This is a great way to personalize each gift and make sure the recipient knows who it’s from.
Finally, make sure you send the gifts out in a timely manner. Gifts that arrive after Christmas will not be as appreciated as those that arrive on time. Using a respected company like Hunter Valley hampers for your corporate gifting means you don’t have to worry, we will take care of everything for you, your gifts will be beautifully presented with personalised cards and then dispatched in a timely manner.

Avoid these common mistakes when sending corporate gifts

There are a few common mistakes that people make when sending corporate gifts. First, they forget to personalize each gift. It’s important to include a card or note with each gift so the recipient knows who it’s from, take the time to write a nice personal message it means so much more to the recipient.
Second, many businesses send the gifts out too late. Gifts that arrive after Christmas will not be as appreciated as those that arrive on time. Finally, they choose gifts that are not appropriate or useful. Choose something that the recipient will actually get use out of.
Another mistake people make is not considering the company’s culture when choosing a gift. For example, if the company is very formal, a gift that is too personal may not be well-received. It’s important to choose a gift that is appropriate for the company’s culture and the relationship you have with the recipient.
With over 200 items to choose from the Hunter Valley Hampers gifting specialists can help you identify the perfect corporate gift for every recipient.

Tips for choosing the right corporate gift

When choosing a corporate gift, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, think about what the person would actually want or need. A good rule of thumb is to choose something that is both useful and unique.
Second, consider the budget. You don’t want to spend too much or too little on a gift, so it’s important to find something that is both affordable and appropriate (we have over thirty gifts under $60 right up to the corporate impressor ranges costing $300 plus).
Finally, make sure the gift is something that creates an experience they will enjoy – selecting premium products from artisan Hunter Valley producers means you can introduce them to a new and memorable tasting experience.

Steve Edhouse — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 01:00:46 +0000

Blue Cheese or Pickle & Roast Beef Toasties

Order the ingredients listed at the end of the recipe
to make this yourself or give someone a

Myanbah Farm Gourmet Masterpiece as a gift

We like to make two different versions of this:

Version one with additional blue cheese added and mayonnaise to make a creamy blue cheese and roast toastie.

Version two is sweet mustard pickle and blue cheese ranch dressing version, which is more pickle forwards, with a bit of sharpness from the ranch dressing,and a very subtle blue cheese hit from the ranch.

Both these toasties owe their special flavours to the superb Myanbah
Farm gourmet goodies; Free Range Egg Mayonnaise, Blue Cheese & Ranch Dressing and Sweet Mustard Pickle, you can spice your toastie up even more with Chipotle Mayo, Roasted Garlic or Kaffir Lime Aioli or Chilli Jam

Blue Cheese & Roast Beef Toastie

1. Using a nice thick sourdough smear both sides liberally with the Myanbah Farm Free Range Mayonnaise
2. Add Blue Cheese, then Roast Beef and then ordinary grated cheese
3. Grind with fresh pepper or your favourite herbs then put top slice on the toastie
4. Microwave for 20 seconds, rotate and then microwave another 20 seconds, then fry in a frypan with plenty of butter or the Myanbah Chilli and Garlic Oil. You can do without the microwave but you will need to keep the frypan temperature very low to ensure the middle melts.

Sweet Mustard Pickle & Roast Beef Toastie

1. Smear one slice of sourdough with the Sweet Mustard Pickle, and the other with the Blue Cheese Ranch.

2. Top one of them with Grated Cheese and then the Roast Beef.

3. Add another layer of grated cheese on the top and then put the other slice of bread on top

4. Microwave for 20 seconds, rotate and then microwave another 20 seconds, then fry in a frypan. You can do without the microwave but you will need to keep the frypan temperature very low to ensure the middle melts.

5. We love to add a few slices of fresh chilli into the toastie and fry it in the Myanbah Farm Chilli and Garlic Oil to spice the toastie up a bit.
