Are you one of those promotional buyers who has passed on the suggestion of
giving promotional food gifts in the past?
“How can something that is consumed leave a lasting impression?” you argue. “How can our company's message sustain itself once the food is gone?”
It’s time to set aside your skepticism. As with other types of promotional products, the answer to these questions involves the senses. It's just a different sense that's stimulated – taste instead of sight!
Have you ever received a fruit basket or a bottle of fine wine? Even after the food was gone, the memory lingered, right? You may have even told others about the gift. The point is... the food, the experience and, most importantly, the giver, all stayed with you.
Now do you understand why at ROBYN we like promotional food gifts? Contrary to what you may think, it is not because our suppliers stop by weekly with mass quantities of finger-licking good cookies and moist, chewy brownies, chocolate-covered nuts, meats and cheeses, sweet buttery toffee and other delicacies. No, we think food gifts stand out partly because they are so different from other logoed merchandise. They are received differently, processed differently, and remembered differently. And while it’s true they may not be as practical as other products, such as a calculator or a pen, they still convey a strong, lasting impression.
We have access to a truly staggering array of food gifts. At one end of the spectrum are mints and bulk candy; at the other are gourmet meats, wines, exotic fruit, and high-end edibles. In between are foods of every description – chocolates, nuts, pretzels, popcorn, coffee, tea, cakes, cookies, cheese and condiments.
Also keep in mind the importance of packaging with food gifts. In most cases, the container is the only tangible reminder of the gift once it has been consumed. This means the kind of box, tin, canister, or jar you select gives you a second opportunity to make a lasting impression. (In other words, do it right! We’ll help!)
