Corporate gift-giving may seem like a simple affair these days because of the wide range of promotional products available out there, but there are still some marketing people who fail to make wise choices. They end up giving away gifts that are either totally useless or offensive to their intended recipients.
Lingerie
Corporate branding experts (not to mention our own sense of good taste) advise against using lingerie as promotional giveaways. They will only succeed in branding your company as unbelievably offensive.
Ashtray
Ashtrays have long ago lost their usefulness. The number of smokers in Australia has been steadily decreasing over the last few decades and those who still smoke do it outside because of all the smoking bans in enclosed spaces. What will they ever do with an ashtray? Corporate gifts should be regarded as an opportunity to make a positive impact on your target clients. Don’t waste it
