The market for promotional and branded merchandise and gifts is ever changing. In order to keep yourself on track with the pace, you need to be up to date with the latest tech gifts that are popular, or 'in demand'. When paired with well-planned marketing campaigns, the selected tech gift can be used to your company's advantage.


Appealing to a wider audience

Tech gadgets have always been a gift item that almost no one would say to. Whether it is to express your appreciation towards your clients, or a "good job, well done" gift to reward your employees, tech or mobile gadgets make a brilliant corporate gift that's perfect for any occasions. And in recent years, the volume of corporate gifting has also increased. A survey conducted by Coresight Research revealed that 66% out of 300 corporate givers (sampled in May 2021) claimed that the reason they opt for corporate gifting is to keep employees motivated (during the pandemic). On other hand, 59% hoped that corporate gifting could improve the relationship with their clients or prospects keeping them connected.
