Pens are the best bet
When I was working for the marcom department in one of my previous companies, I used to be involved in purchasing those premium products for marketing and corporate image purposes. Besides getting custom made plaques for our speakers, we do get other items as gifts when we visit our clients.
Since we are a local companies and we dealt a lot with local as well as international clients, we have to have many considerations when purchasing the ‘right’ gift. Do you know that for most Chinese, they do not like to receive clock or watches as gifts? I learned a huge lesson when we gave out plaques that came with a small clock. One of my speaker from Hong Kong actually returned the plaque to us!
From then onwards, we are very careful in selecting our corporate gifts. And I think the best so far are still marketing pens where they are well accepted by our speakers and clients.
