Wat een fantastische service. Ik heb enkele relatiegeschenken besteld en een daarvan naar mijzelf laten sturen om te ervaren hoe het pakket eruit ziet. Er ontbrak iets, maar dat bleek mijn eigen fout te zijn geweest. Bij de bestelling heb ik dit over het hoofd gezien.Hoewel de andere pakketten al ingepakt klaar stonden voor verzending, zijn deze in overleg met Jurien aangepast en alsnog verzonden zoals ik ze graag had gewild.Dit geeft aan dat Food & Wood de klanten echt belangrijk vindt. Dank daarvoor.

Pamela thought extensively in advance so that she was perfectly prepared. The quality of both the service and the food was very good! For our wedding we had delicious and beautifully decorated drinks boards, exactly according to our wishes! We also asked if Food & Wood would also like to take care of the layout of our cake table. This was also very well done! Afterwards they neatly packed all the leftovers so that we could enjoy them in the evening, perfect! Unfortunately, we do not (yet) have a photo of the snacks when they were served, only of the neatly served leftovers and the cake table.

Great company, the delivery person reported twice that no one was home (without having been there) and the package was returned to sender. Food & Wood immediately sent another new package and luckily the delivery person came by. Thanks to Food & Wood's quick action, I still received the birthday gift on time. Really great service! Can recommend Food & Wood to everyone.

I gave the Primavera Borrelplank to my sister and her boyfriend, including the free Pinot Grigio wine that they received for free with the monthly promotion and they loved it. The description was ideal for putting the shelf together! :D

Last week was the national Week without Meat and of course we as an organization also participated in it. For example, colleagues could participate in an acquaintance Quiz and have a chance to win a vegetarian drinks box. In the end we had drawn 6 lucky winners. Pamela is happy to think along with you about possibilities and is very service-oriented. I can definitely recommend the drinks box. It was really a gift for my colleagues.

Ik ben op en top tevreden met Food & Wood, fantastische ervaring. Pamela heeft een prachtige grazing table voor onze intieme bruiloftsreceptie neergezet. De gasten waren erg onder de indruk. Ze durfde het eten bijna niet aan te raken, zo’n plaatje was het. Het eten was niet alleen mooi gepresenteerd, maar was ook heerlijk. Iedereen kwam al naar me toelopen voor Pamela’s info.Al met al, zeer tevreden dus!

Snelle reacties en ze denken goed mee over de mogelijkheden.Kan dit zeker voor iedereen aanraden.

You will discover the popular event gifts they offer and why these gifts are not only appreciated, but can also have a positive impact on your events.

What are event gifts?

Event gifts are special gifts or promotional items given out to attendees, guests or visitors during events. These gifts can range from small logo items to more luxurious gifts and are designed to leave a lasting impression. Event gifts play a crucial role in the overall experience of an event and can contribute to branding and networking opportunities.

The different types of event gifts

Event gifts can be divided into different categories depending on the objectives of the event and the target audience:

  • Promotional items: These are often practical and affordable items that make the brand visible, such as pens, notebooks, or tote bags. For example, the BIC Cristal pen, which can easily be printed with your company logo.
  • Personalized gifts: These items are often specially made for the event and can range from custom key rings to luxury gift boxes. A great example is the Wine package from corporate identity company Elysium, which contains a selection of wines from local suppliers with a personalized label.
  • Experience gifts: These are unique experiences that participants can enjoy, such as a voucher for a workshop or a free test drive of a new brand car. Brands such as Tesla For example, offer experiences in the form of test drives, which gives participants a direct connection with the brand.

The role of event gifts in branding

Event giveaways are a powerful marketing tool that help companies strengthen their brand. When attendees receive a gift that is well-designed and has practical use, they often associate the experience positively with the brand. Some of the benefits include:

  • Visibility: By giving gifts with your logo, such as a Ritmo water bottle from Klean Kanteen, participants will continue to use it regularly and it will increase your brand awareness.
  • Memory: A well-chosen event gift, such as the Moleskine notebook that attendees can use during the event, ensuring that your brand stays top of mind even after the event has ended.
  • Emotional connection: Personalized gifts create a sense of appreciation and can give attendees an emotional connection to your brand.

Event Gifts and Networking

In addition to branding, event gifts also play a crucial role in networking opportunities. They act as conversation starters and view the networking environment in different ways:

  • Social interaction: During events, participants can meet each other and use the gift as a talking point. A unique giveaway, such as a Polaroid camera, can encourage participants to take photos and share them with each other.
  • Facilitating connections: When gifts are accompanied by a personal message or an invitation to contact, such as a handwritten thank you letter in a gift box, this can increase the likelihood that participants will want to connect on platforms like LinkedIn.

Contribution to a positive experience

Event gifts contribute greatly to the overall event experience. Guests who feel appreciated by a thoughtful gift are more likely to leave positive feedback and remain engaged with your brand. Some ways event gifts enhance the guest experience include:

  • Increased satisfaction: When participants sit down with a well-received gift, such as a JBL Bluetooth speaker, they increase their overall satisfaction with the event.
  • Creates positive associations: Event gifts that are useful and enjoyable will help attendees have positive memories of the event. This can also lead to repeat attendance at future events.

By strategically deploying event gifts, companies can maximize the impact of their events while strengthening their connection with their target audience.

In this section, we will discuss different aspects that you should consider when making your choice.

1. Determine the purpose of the event

The first thing you need to do is to get clear on the purpose of your event. Is it a networking event, a product launch, or maybe an anniversary? Each purpose requires a different approach to gifts.

  • Budget above €20: Luxury options such as Bluetooth speakers from JBL or designer tote bags from Herschel.

Your gift should convey a message that fits your brand identity. Think about the values and core messages you want to convey.

  • Sustainability: Choose ecological gifts, such as organic hand soap from L'Occitane or recycled notebooks.
  • Innovation: Technology-driven gifts such as smart home devices from Philips Hue can underline the progressiveness of your organization.
  • Concern: Gift sets such as aromatherapy products from Neom Organics can emphasize the caring nature of your company.
