5 Reasons to Send Corporate Gifts

Since the holiday season is here again, it might be helpful to look at some common reasons for business gift giving. Gifts are great for business all year long, not only in December. Don’t forget about these opportunities to provide a reminder of your company with a thoughtfully selected gift and imprinted message!!

1. Closing a sale. Give gifts when a deal is closed to say thank you and congratulations on a major purchase, for example for a new home, appliance, car or a major business purchase.

2. Ending a project. During the project, to promote teamwork, celebrate the completion of a major phase, provide visibility, generate enthusiasm and show good faith, distribute gifts to users and project participants to say “job well done”. The end of a project is especially signifi cant when you highlight overall accomplishments and contributions.

3. To demonstrate good will on an ongoing basis. This option is not just based on events or holidays. Gift giving should be part of an ongoing, year long business strategy.

4. Personal and business milestones. Personal milestones include retirements, anniversaries, birthdays and promotions. Reaching or surpassing sales goals, grand openings, the introduction of new products and services, company growth and expansion count as business milestones. A celebration is an excellent time to give gifts.

5. Referral Gifts. Show appreciation all year long for customer referrals. Referrals and positive word of mouth can grow your business in major ways. Use referral gifts to encourage customers for referrals that turn into business.

Boston Coffee Cake History

Boston Coffee Cake was founded in 1992 on the premise of making the best coffee cake there is.

The original coffee cake recipe came from our Nana Esther Cluck and has been passed down for generations. Now, we are proud to make it for you to enjoy.

We started out in a 1600 square foot bakery in Woburn, Massachusetts which was funded by Grandma and Grandpa Forman. We baked about 50 cakes a day. I would put the cakes in my car and deliver them around town. By 1996 Boston Coffee Cake had expanded to a 6000 square foot facility with 10 workers. Our reputation for being the best coffee cake in New England was quickly spreading.

Today, Boston Coffee Cake bakes not only our famous Cinnamon Walnut cake, but many other gourmet desserts and specialty treats, in a 40,000 square foot bakery located in Ward Hill, Massachusetts. We have over 30 excellent employees that are dedicated to making our high quality cakes.

Each of our gifts is hand packed especially for you. We truly believe that we make the best cakes in America. But, don’t just take our word for it. The Phantom Gourmet designated us as a “Great Ate”. We are the proud winners of the prestigious “Best Coffee Cake in America” award from the American Tasting Institute. Try one and see for yourself!

We look forward to serving you, your family, and your friends. And don’t forget,

“Let us do all the work, so you can take all the credit.”

Mark Forman, President
