Gift cards, gold coins, and your own time will always be the best corporate gifts. But you can offer a book that is equally meaningful and memorable! Today’s companies want to be progressive and support mission-driven organizations. To do so, they need to be socially responsible community players. Bookmarks make good corporate gifts because they symbolize knowledge that encourages readers to keep themselves well-informed. This gift also demonstrates thoughtfulness by those in the workplace who recognize universal learning opportunities available online today.
Bookmarks are an affordable way to engage in an essential part of the reading experience. They are very functional and yet provide a lasting reminder about the book.
Here is a list of activities for your business use:
• Distribute bookmarks to all employees. Use them to highlight the most critical topics for each department; record your department’s views so that you can better support that department.
• Bookmark useful topics or browse through them during question-and-answer sessions; ask if anyone knows about this topic and how they would use it. Please ensure they also get information on current events, online resources, etc.
• Use bookmarks to record favorite reads and encourage employees to keep them updated on their favorite authors.
• Share bookmarks with colleagues outside of your department, especially those in sales and marketing who may be able to use them in their daily activities. When you do, consider offering additional “insider tips” to allow them to capitalize on the bookmark’s value while they enjoy it.
• Give books as gifts to people outside your department who could benefit from learning more about the information. This is another way to get paid back for the expenses of offering this valuable resource.
In conclusion, bookmarks can establish communication patterns and best practices across your organization. Consider using bookmarks to discuss your company’s initiatives – share what you’re talking about with the world!
