Choosing the right door gift for Annual Dinner.

Choosing the right door gift for annual dinner can be a treacherous activity. Most corporate buyers will select a committee team to assist the decision making process in choosing the right gift prior to setting their annual dinner theme. As the excitement towards the big day sets, most of the time corporate buyers are caught in between choosing something that matches their annual dinner theme verses the functionality of the products.

So today I am going to share with you some pointers in selecting the right annual dinner door gift.

1. Budget and Quantity- Filter off those that are not within the budget and thus cutting the short the decision-making process. It’s easier for the supplier to suggest the gift based on ex-stock if time is a constraint.

2. Target Audience- Very important to know the receiver of the gift. Let me give you an example of a case study between Tan Chong Motor and IBM Corporation. When both have their annual dinner, corporation like Tan Chong motor will always need to take into account their largest pool of factory workers, hence, they need to choose gifts like household products to ensure it is useful for their factory workers. On the other hand, corporations like IBM can always go for computer accessories or electronic items which are deem more useful for their everyday working life.

3. Delivery Dateline- Time is very factor in selecting the right gift. Some items are not necessarily in stock and we need extra time to produce customized items. Hence, early planning is essential to help corporate to plan head and save cost.

4. Be creative and fun- If you are having a pirates theme annual dinner, you can always go for a customized pillow with pirates design printed on it. Unusual gift but definitely something nostalgic. If the gift itself is quite generic, you can always play around with the packaging. In this case, we will recommend our customers to print their theme design on the non-woven bags. Besides promoting the theme, you are encouraging environmental friendliness too.

5. Make it a joyful experience- It’s true because at the end of the day, you can’t make everybody happy. Someone will definitely make a not so nice comment about the gift, be it the colour or the size. So, don’t fret, there is no such thing as a perfect gift.

Toiletry Bags

Toiletry bags are small bags useful for traveling or a trip to the gym to keep our body hygiene products such as shampoos, shower gels, toothbrush, dental floss, lotions and perhaps the usual skin care products. Most of our toiletry bags have hooks to hang in in the toilet, hence it’s convenient to carry when you’re on the go.

Our OB-013 toiletry bag (below), has two main compartments: one that unfolds to a large open hanging compartment with three clear, roomy zippered pockets and another large zippered compartment that can hold additional items. This is one of our most sought after toiletry bag, and we challenge you to fill all the compartments, as you see there is a space for everything.

If you’re looking for something more compact, do check out our colourful modern toiletry bags available in four colours; pink, yellow, green and blue. Most female buyers are attracted to the colour and it fits the essentials. So if you want an extra pouch, you might want to consider our toiletry pouch that’s available to put in your cosmetics.

What is a Keychain?

Wikipedia describes here that keychain or also spelled “key chain” as a chain that connects a key ring that holds key to a keyring. The length of the keychain enables an item to be more easily handled that if connected directly to a keyring.  They function as a marking or indicator to identify a set of keys or just as a prop to make a bunch of keys look more presentable.  Choosing a kind of keyholder also gives an identity to your character.
