The corporate incentive gift discount options available to you depend on what you need, how many you need and who you are buying from. Most corporate gift dealers offer tiered pricing based on the volume of items you order. For example, golf towels may be sold in quantities of:

10-49 units – $5.00 each
50-99 units – $4.50
100-249 units – $4.00
250-499 unties – $3.00
500+ – $2.00 each

So an instant corporate incentive gift “discount” comes by virtue of buying a larger quantity.

Other ways you can get discounts on corporate gift incentives and promotional products is looking for seasonal specials and clearance items. In some cases, you may be able to order individual product samples at the lowest pricing tier.

You no doubt will want some degree of customization of your incentive, with corporate branding / logo / phone number / tagline etc. Various ways of personalizing these gifts include silkscreen printing, embroidery, embossing and engraving, which adds to the unit costs. You may find it more cost effective to order blank products from a distributor and have your items customized by another company who can offer the personalization for less. And depending on your quantity needs and the terms of the distributor or wholesaler you are dealing with, you may have to seek out your own printer/embosser etc. if personalization is only available for orders in larger quantities.

If you are selecting a corporate gift package that is uniform across employees, you can still personalize each gift. It’s easy to send a personal card with a message. If your gift package permits, you may even personalize the gift itself. For example, engraving initials in a pen or on a monogrammed t-shirt. Be sure to allow enough lead time for such personalization. Personalized gifts go the extra mile to making your employee feel valued.

It’s important not to play favourites. Avoid favouring one team or department over another unless your corporate gifts are part of an incentive program for which the rules are understood and accepted by the entire organization.
