1. Join Bazaars
Bazaars are usually where new products and small companies that are only starting up can be found. Not only are their products unique in the market, they also have really low prices because they are just introducing their creations. You will find a lot of products in bazaars.
It is good to scout for more than one product should you need to contact them for the next year. Often, they will have calling cards on hand where they can be contacted. It is also advantageous to also establish contact at this time as they will be able to give you future discounts as one of their very first customers should you be interested in purchasing their products for the next year.
2. Look at new products
The best corporate gifts are those items that are not yet available in the mainstream market. These are the products that will surely create a great impression because they are unique and one-of-a-kind. Clients will surely remember your gift and therefore the company. Giving really unique gifts also says something good on your research and marketing team. Also, giving new products will also help establish the company as an innovator.
3. Negotiate in case of bulk orders
Buying items as corporate gifts is not just buying a couple of pieces. Often, you will be buying in the hundreds even in the thousands depending on the size of the company and the number of its clients. If you are buying in bulk, try to negotiate for a lower price and make sure that they can cope with the quantity. Set a definite date for delivery and have an agreement drafted that if they fall behind schedule, you will be given discounts.
