What you should know about Corporate Gifting Trends!

According to a recent study conducted by the Advertising Specialty Institute on annual corporate gift giving, companies expressed that they had budgeted to spend about $43, per current or prospective customer, on products such as branded food gifts, wine bottles and desk accessories.

Besides giving gifts to customers, companies also plan on spending roughly $50 per employee, including gift cards, food/beverages, to apparel and cash bonuses.

In total, 6 in 10 companies plan on rewarding clients and employees this year.

“Everyone appreciates being remembered and recognized, which is why smart companies choose to recognize faithful customers during the holidays with a special gift that says, ‘Thank you for your business’,” says ASI CEO Timothy M. Andrews.

So what can we do to try and help corporate gifting trends this year?

Take a Strike Against Cold and Flu Season

Each year everyone stresses the idea of protecting yourself in cold and flu season. But honestly does the flu affect us all? And the bigger picture is how do we protect ourselves?

The truth is 1 in 5 Americans get the flu each year. The United States Center for Disease Control estimates that between 3,000 and 49,000 people die from influenza each year, 90% of which were under the age of 65.

People at high risk are children 6 months to 5 years old, pregnant women, anyone who lives with or cares for infants, health care workers, and adults over 50.

The combination of pneumonia and influenza is the nation’s eighth leading cause of death.

Now that we know the facts, how do we protect ourselves?

Through endless research we have compiled a list of the best tips to prevent your exposure to the cold and flu this season.

  • Eat lots of fruits and vegetables! (for maximum vitamins and minerals)
  • Make sure your hands are clean. Use hand sanitizer or wash hands with warm soapy water.
  • Keep your hands away from your face.
  • Get moving! Exercise boosts immune function.
  • Get plenty of sleep and rest.
  • Decrease stress and meditate
  • Diffuse essential oils into the air (eucalyptus is a great option).
  • Be sure to sneeze properly (into your elbow).
  • If you get sick, stay home.
  • And the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot.

Be prepared to combat cold and flu germs throughout the day with a bottle of SnugZ hand sanitizer, available in a variety of scents and easy to carry bottles. Check out a few of our favorites like ZSCP or ZS19.

You never know when those germs will strike so keep SnugZ handy this season!

Think Pink!

October might be the first full month of fall, Halloween, and all things pumpkin flavored, but most importantly, it is the month for breast cancer awareness!

Regardless of it being a female illness, breast cancer awareness has certainly become a unisex issue in the world today.

Color Blocking



Colors affect us in countless ways – mentally and physically, consciously and subconsciously.

Psychologists suggest that color impression can account for 60% of the acceptance or rejection of a product or service. Good color choice can make all the difference and accounts for an increase in brand recognition by 80%.

With our SweetZ line, a full offering of color blocking is available in numerous fill options, which not only allowing you to customize your product based off of the color of your logo, but also make the color parings endless!

The 5th Sense


Everyone knows what the smell of fresh cut grass is, or the sound of the ice cream truck rolling down the street, the feeling of an ice cube in our hands or what neon lights look like at night. But when was the last time you had a delicious freshly baked cookie, or tasty treat? Chances are, you could tell us when and where, because an individual’s sense of taste is a powerful way of triggering a memory.

The holiday season is right around the corner and what better way to connect with your customers then by hitting all 5 senses? Sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste! Taste seems to be the most complicated barrier to break, but why is it so important?

When someone tastes something enjoyable, like a candy or cookie, a positive feeling occurs. When people often think back to the particular food item they ate, it takes them back to the same experience they had while eating it. Giving that personal, and yet subconscious, touch will ultimately be the reason you are remembered.

Our SweetZ are perfect for any occasion or opportunity to create a lasting impression.
