How to Sustain Business Relationships in the New Year

How do we sustain business relationships? With fast-paced technological advancement and endless online resources available to us, there can no longer be a straightforward answer. Making sales phone calls and conducting in-person meetings is outdated. Because today, people can make connections without ever having to meet face-to-face. This is both beneficial and challenging for business owners when it comes to forming and sustaining business relationships in a rather saturated market.

But, all hope is not lost. Treating your business relationships similarly to how you would treat a friendship is a solid step toward building lasting partnerships. In a ‘copy and paste’ business world, your customers, partners, and even your suppliers are looking for a brand that shows integrity, trustworthiness, and altruism. And, with years of experience on our resume, we know that sending business gifts is one of the best ways to do so. Let us offer you our expertise as we discuss how you can stand out amongst the corporate crowd and sustain your crucial business relationships in the new year.

Leave a Comment / Gift-Giving on a Budget / By Alex London

It feels like a lifetime ago when Black Friday was an event that had the entire world marking their calendars and queing (camping) outside their favorite department stores at the crack of dawn. But, although we’ve come a long way since the unruly consumerism and chaotic Black Friday hysteria of 2012 – it is still an event that causes people to overspend and fall victim to big black ‘50% OFF’ signage. The only difference is that, today, the tricks of the trade (and we mean tricks) are occurring more frequently online.

This year, consumers will be participating in Black Friday sales online more than ever before. And, this will unfortunately leave more room for scams and ‘too good to be true’ discounts. Luckily, there are a few ways you can take precaution both online and in store. So, before you add to cart, or go busting down store doors, have a look at our Black Friday safety tips so you can make the most of this year’s frenzy.
