By using a promotional gift supplier who works closely and directly with one or two of these factories will help you ensure your gifts are the same or similar colours from order to order.

You also want to fill your customers’ desk drawers with useful stationery products such as rulers, large and small plastic printed paperclips, pencil sharpeners and letter openers, carefully colour coordinated to ensure they know your look. If you plan your gifts carefully or ask your supplier to provide you with a corporate gift scheme service, choosing colour coordinated products for you, your company will take over your customers’ desk in a way that is not only accepted but very much appreciated!
