Employee Time ClocksFor a long time, companies used employee time clocks to keep track of how many hours each employee worked each week. Each employee had their own punch card, which they inserted into the time clock so the time could be stamped on it. Even though technology has caught up with the time clock, it is still one of the best ways available of keeping track of the hours an employee works, and transferring that information across to payroll so that
How do you make the most of your marketing budget? Any marketer will tell you that the key to getting the most mileage of your finances is to choose activities that offer high ROI value. A corporate gift-giving program offers excellent ROI in many different avenues on the marketing spectrum. For just a bit of pocket change, you can catch the attention of your best prospects, woo them to visit you at a trade-show booth, keep yourself in the forefront of their minds, trade on their loyalty and turn them into adverts for your services. All it takes is a little planning and foresight, and some insight into the type of gifts that will grow legs and run for your business.
Obviously, gift-giving is no substitute for offering excellent service and quality products, but when you make corporate gift-giving a part of your marketing tool chest, you’re showing that you understand your clients and have their interests in mind. Here are five times in the business relationship when the right corporate gift – and presentation – can help your company score big on memorability points.
1. Introduction
Introduce yourself in style with a classic, useful gift to hook your potential client’s attention. Marketing a new product – or an old product to a new market – calls for special tactics. An eye-catching promotional gift can be just the ticket to arouse interest and spark curiosity about your product or services. Choose a corporate gift that accents or highlights the advantages of doing business with you, and makes it easy for your prospects to remember your name and contact info.
2. Trade Show Giveaways
Trade shows and conventions are ideal opportunities to market your company – but you’re not the only one wooing your potential customers. It’s easy to be forgotten in the m?lange of information that attendees will be gathering. The solution? Offer a takeaway that your new contacts will take home and use every day. In fact, offer a range of takeaway gifts based on the commitment of time that your prospects make. You might offer an inexpensive key ring to anyone who stops by your booth, a mid-range emblazoned pen for those who sign up to your mailing list and an eye-catching USB flash drive to those who sit for a half hour presentation of your products and make an appointment for follow-up contact.
3. Holiday Gift Giving
Holidays offer an excellent chance to stand out above the competition. Choose classy classic or contemporary gifts that tell your customers how much you value their business. At holidays, the most appreciated holiday gifts are those that are not perceived as promotional marketing materials. One rather unique corporate gift idea - paired red and white wines with a bespoke customized label branded with your product or company name.

3 Strategies to Minimize Stress When You're the BossRecently, while visiting a friend's office, he began to tell me his business was a mess. It wasn't fun anymore. "The problem with this business," he said, "is that the manager (ME) is the worst person for the job. I have no training in management. My partner just wants to come to work, do his job and leave the management chores to me. Frankly, I don't have any great desire to be the boss, either. Personnel problems, cash problems, mee
