How do I give business gifts?

You're a smart business person. Instead of giving out gifts to people when you feel obligated why not use a little business acumen? A gift is really just one of your tools for building loyalty.

A consumer loyalty program is a structured marketing effort which encourages loyal buying behavior. A corporate gift is also used to encourage loyalty but should always be perceived as given voluntarily. Their altruistic nature elevates their value far above the incentive carrot.

Although I said that gifts should appear to be altruistic you must always use them with purpose. How will the recipient benefit your company either directly or indirectly?
