How To Give A Gift In Business?

Business gift giving is an art, with its established rules. It is very subtle to give to whoever, what to send, and how to deliver. It must not be blindly sent, Hu Song or overloaded. According to some successful gifts and lessons learned from ancient and modern China and abroad, we should at least pay attention to the following four principles:

First, the gift is light and important.

Generally speaking, gifts are too light and of little significance. It is easy to misunderstand people as a scorn for him, especially for those who are not close to each other. However, the gift is too valuable, and it will make the recipient accept the suspicion of bribery, especially for the superiors and colleagues. In addition to some people who are cheap and brave, the average person will probably decline, or even accept it, or pay for it in the future. If the other party refuses to accept, your money has been spent and left unused, it will cause a lot of trouble, just like what people often say, "spend money to find guilt", why bother? Therefore, the choice of the weight of the gift should be based on the happy acceptance of the other person, so as to strive for less money and more work, and spend more money doing good deeds.

Two, the interval between gifts should be appropriate.

The time interval for gift giving is also very fastidious, too frequent or too long. A gift giver may be wealthy or eager to come to the house. He often thinks that he is so generous that he can win the favor of others. Because you give too much purpose at such a frequency. Besides, courtesy and reciprocity must be paid to you. Generally speaking, it is advisable to choose important festivals, festive and birthday gifts. Gifts do not appear to be abrupt.

Three, understand customs and taboos

Before giving gifts, we should know the identity, hobbies and national habits of the recipient, so as not to give gifts to trouble. Someone went to the hospital to see the patient and brought a bag of apples to show his condolences, which led to trouble. It happened that the patient was from Shanghai, and Shanghai people called "apple" with the same pronunciation of "two cases". It is not a curse to send an apple to a sick person. Because the giver doesn't understand the situation, he gets upset. In view of this, when giving gifts, we must be considerate to avoid any complications. For example, do not send a clock, because "bell" and "final" homophonic, let a person feel unlucky; for a highly educated intellectual, you send a poor painting and calligraphy is very boring; to Islam to send pigs with the image of decorative patterns of gifts, may be let out.

Four, gifts should be meaningful.

Gifts are carriers of affection. Any gift indicates the special intention of the gift giving person, or reward, or asking for help, or liaison, etc. Therefore, the gift you choose must conform to your wishes and make the recipient feel that your gift is extraordinary and precious. In fact, the best gifts should be based on the interests and preferences of the other party, meaningful, thought-provoking, unusual quality, but no show of water. Therefore, when choosing a gift, we should consider its ideological, artistic, interesting, commemorative and other factors, and strive to be unique and unconventional.
