Why should you not waste money on corporate gifts?

Why on earth would we tell you not to buy corporate gifts if we sell corporate gifts? A very good question! Technically, we do not sell corporate gifts or -clothing for that matter. We help you to build your brand. Everything we do is geared to help you build the strongest brand as fast as possible wit the most effective budget spent ever.

If there is one thing that I hate is when everyone jumps on the bandwagon to make a quick buck. So this is my two cents about why I believe you should rather keep your money in your back pocket.

1. No clear STORY to share

If you have been following my Wisdom-from-the Firepit Blog on addVentures, you would know that I advocate ensuring that everything you do helps to build on your story to the world. Your brand is only as strong as the story that people remember about you. If they hide the logo, will they still know who they are dealing with. If you are not the cheapest quote, will they prefer to choose you as opposed to your competition. Do you know what your brand story is?

In a lot of cases, we get asked to quote on products that has got nothing to do with the story of the client. I do belief that every cent that you spend should give you the absolute most brand building power. If there is zero link-up with your brand, my advice is to either not spend the money or get brand building experts like addShine to help you choose a product that will build on your brand story.

2. Horrific Corporate Identity Quality

Your corporate identity is the sum of all your branding elements. Your logo, your fonts, your colours, your photos, and all the other elements used on a continuous basis to portray your brand and your brand story. A lot has been said about the importance of having an organised corporate identity manual and corporate identity library so that you have the best quality material to pop over to your production house at the drop of a hat.

If you don’t have the best quality material for your corporate gifts and clothing production house to use, rather not waste your money. You don’t want logos that pixelate or fonts that are different from your adverts, billboards or even your website. Lucky for you, our sister company, addVentures, can help you fix all your elements before you continue.

3. The best value for money possible

Ultimately, you want the best possible spend on your corporate gifts budget possible. And that includes your budget spend on corporate clothing. We understand that you are the expert in your field, whether it is insurance or hospitality or whatever industry you find yourself in. We are here as an extension of yourself. It is our duty to advise you on the best possible option to help build your brand and get the best value for money out there. If you are only seeing your corporate gifts and -clothing supplier as an order taker, you are not getting the best possible value that you can get.

Why save R1 on an apple that is past its due date? It just does not make sense.
