What you deliver to suppliers, customers, employees, and others with whom you do business, does matter. If you hand over something that they don’t have a functional use for and they don’t want to use, then you’re throwing your money away. That’s exactly what they are going to do with it: throw it away. If you don’t want to waste good money, consider some of these corporate gifts perfectly tailored for those in the travel and tourism industry.
1. Cloth shopping bags
This is an eco-friendly gift that will be used by anyone who works in a kitchen or restaurant. Even someone who owns a bed and breakfast or who works in a hotel can make use of this. In fact, anyone who eats will at some point find a use for a cloth bag. You can find them in attractive colors and patterns, such as colored strips. Add your brand and location information and you get a corporate gift that will be used over and over again.
2. Pedometers
How many miles does a room service worker walk a day? How about a customer service agent or a bellboy? When you deliver pedometers, you will encourage employees and customers to test their activity level and start thinking about their fitness. This is something that a lot of people are buying from stores now, so it will get to good use when handing it out to customers and employees. This is also a corporate gift that is a great gift or prize at company parties. You can even use it as a reward for friendly competitions held between employees or departments.
3. Small notepads with cover and pen
This is such a simple corporate gift, but it is something that anyone in the tourism or travel industry can always use. How many times have you been away from your desk or on a phone call when you needed to type something quickly? Those are the cases where having something small with a pen attached is very convenient. Your customers and employees will always find a reason to clarify this and take notice.
4. Wheel clock
This is a one-of-a-kind corporate gift that you won’t find for sale through all gift retailers. You shouldn’t have to search too hard for it, but it’s not the most common item available. That’s good, because it means everyone else in your industry isn’t buying them, too. When you find them, these watches are perfect for anyone involved in the travel or driving industry. It will be especially appreciated by those who drive a truck, shuttle bus, or other vehicle for a living.
5. Passport holders
This is perfect for anyone in the travel industry! You spend much of your time dealing with passports, either checking them or helping someone find one that has been lost. This is a great corporate gift that can be given to guests, employees, clients, or anyone else you come in contact with on a daily basis. It is also a very affordable corporate gift.
You work in a unique industry, so you should hand out unique corporate gifts. This list should give you an idea of what is available to you.
