Your career and name are important to you, as is how people perceive you. How many coffee mugs day planners, gourmetgift baskets, and other “expected” corporate gifts have you sent? I can bet too many. And here’s why.

Though corporate gift-giving is not in the same league with mass media, it is not supposed to be. It fill the personal niche where mass media lacks. And it fills it well if done right.

Much reseach has revealed that the nature of the gift itself is not just important but pertinent. If it is something that does not give the receiver a good feeling about you, the cost or how elaborate the gift is is a moot point. A wrong gift can mean an ex-client or customer.

Because of this, the growth of humor consultants has skyrocketed. Major corporations such as IBM, DuPont and many others pay them high wages to teach humor skills to employees for motivation and loyalty.

Never take humor for granted. It is as important in business as food and water are for life

Giving a humorous corporate gift that that is a theme gift will pack a punch that goes a long way, creating loyalty, word of mouth, and even a community, generally of people who want to know you and where you got the gift.

I can’t make you believe me in words. The investment is small, usually $15-$40 and it is worth it’s weight in gold. You only need try it once. You will be hooked and so will the receiver, who will also be hooked on you.

What if you own or are partner or employee of a law firm. For years you have given the same staid gifts to your clients. Why not try a professionally-drawn law-related cartoon on a coffee gift basket. Yes believe it or not there are legal-related themed gourmet coffee gift baskets. We know because we invented them and they are only around $40. We know of others, selling the same gourmet beans as non-cartoon gift baskets for $60-$80 with no personalization. We even personalize the basket for only $2 giving the law firm’s name and web address. It includes an oversize coffee mug and four coasters, all with an award-winning law cartoon, five flavors and blends of gourmet coffee from the best farms worldwide. It is high quality and does not sit around like coffee does ground at chains, the staleness hidden with flavors.

If coffee is not your thing, maybe a cartoon wall or desk clock. I prefer the desk clock, it is less expensive, and your name and URL appears in front of them every time they look at the clock. You can do this with coffee mugs, aprons, hoodies, key chains, Christmas ornaments, and so many other gift ideas, all at the best funny corporate gift shops. There are several on the Internet. Ours is the largest but there are many. One advantage I like to ours is that it only charges $2 for the personalization and ships worldwide, and does not inflate shipping costs.

Our manufacturer, 3drose, is one of the oldest and largest powersellers on Ebay, with a 99.4% positive feedback rating and over 11,000 transactions. This is almost unheard of in this day and time at any auction site.

3drose showcases our products at Shopping.com, Amazon.com, Shop.com and many of the other shopping channels. Or you can order from Londons Times Superstore or LTSuperstore as we call it for short or even 3drose own site. The price is the same, great quality and customer service, and everything is expedited and shipped worldwide within 24 hours.

Words cannot express the special psychology behind giving a gift of laughter that portrays your name and URL. The client or potential client cannot help but feel good every time he/she sees your company’s name and URL while laughing at a cartoon every day. It is monumental.
