Why spend your organization's money on meeting, event & VIP gifts if your gift recipients view them as "trinkets and trash."  That only denigrates your brand and wastes your time and your organization's resources.  I encourage you to invest in elevated, luxury-quality, custom branded gifts. To do so affordably, the best way is to source the gifts from the manufacturer...FACTORY-DIRECT.  High-end quality custom gifts made to your unique specifications provide a superior strategic option because your gift recipients will not throw them away (or re-gift) but use more often...keeping your brand top-of-mind, increasing constituent engagement and deliver a satisfying return on investment.
