There’s no escaping it. 

Before the final embers of bonfire night have faded, shop windows are already twinkling, sleigh bells are ringing and children are excitedly penning their letters to the man himself. It’s Christmas! 

And as if we aren’t all busy enough organising festive food orders, making mischief with elves on the shelves and helping Santa compile those all-important naughty and nice lists, there is professional planning to think of too. Christmas prep doesn’t just top the domestic agenda at this time of year; businesses are bracing for one of their busiest and most competitive seasons – and like Santa, they have a long list of pressies to deliver too! 

Why Give Corporate Gifts?

A commercially savvy way of saying ‘Merry Christmas’ or simply ‘thank you’ to customers, colleagues, clients and employees alike as the year draws to a close; in this crazily competitive age, strong products and top-notch service are good but not quite enough. Consumers have more choice than ever at their fingertips, so businesses need a high quality, memorable and, frankly, instagrammable cherry on top – just a little something to curry favour long after the decorations come down.

What Makes A Great Corporate Gift?

‘Oh, not MORE chocolate’ said no-one, ever.

There are only so many branded biros and company calendars that a person can put to good use – and the last thing anybody wants is to be responsible for an eye roll and an unwanted present. Your offering will represent your business – so the last thing you want is for it to be thrown away or left at the bottom of an in-tray.

Here at Maple, our little helpers have got your business covered, offering tasty treats to express your gratitude by providing a moment of personal luxury with a lasting professional impression.

Maple’s Corporate Gifts With Soul

Our chocolates are just the ticket, striking the perfect balance between a chic embodiment of your brand and a present that recipients will genuinely enjoy getting their teeth into. We offer over 100 carefully selected chocolates (our current favourites include the Salted Caramel, Florentine and Sunrise Vegan and Organic Dark Chocolate Orange all at £4.50 per 100g – just please don’t make us choose!).

No matter what the budget, we specialise in supplying the most delicious handmade Christmas chocolate, elegantly wrapped in cellophane, presentation boxes (containing anything from 2 - 48 chocolates) or our range of luxury hampers, personalised with panache. Our beautiful ribbons can feature your company’s name, logo or corporate colours – just let us know what you need, and we’ll take care of it.

Bah, Humbug!

Fear not – gifting from your business is not entirely selfless, either. 

Investing some time and thought now will reap rewards later; choosing wisely makes for extremely cost effective advertising and visibility, buoying your business prospects, winning – and keeping – customers and providing a sweet but simple reminder to get in touch in the new year. In our digital age, preserving customer relationships is essential in maintaining sustainable business growth, after all.

Better yet, employee morale and loyalty will be boosted by such a thoughtful touch, encouraging positive attitudes, motivating better performance and cementing commitment to the future. 

A win win for all concerned. 

Now, check that list twice - it’s time to find out who’s naughty or nice!
