SUMMARY:Building a Corporate Gifting Program
DESCRIPTION:There are gifts and then there are corporate gifts. What’s the difference? Reach! Chances are when companies purchase gifting options\, these gifts will be distributed to over ten recipients in one pop. It’s the difference between tin cans & string and a megaphone. \nHaving a corporate gifting program for the holidays (and perhaps all year round) is a great way to connect with more consumers on an exponential level. To ensure success\, it’s important to think through the details and plan early. \nCompanies give gifts to enhance their relationships and stay ‘top of mind’ with their clients. What better way to build a lasting\, valued relationship than through a gift of wine from New York? It is also good business. On average\, companies spend $44 each for employee gifts and $48 each for client gifts and 25% of companies will spend over $100 on each employee gift. This is a $31.75 Billion business annually. \nJoin us for these two\, 2-hour seminar style webinars specifically for NYWGF members and learn the key elements of building a successful Corporate Gifting program for your winery! \nAugust 17th (10am – 12pm EST)\, Presented by Susan Cole\, WISE Academy Coach \n\nDeveloping the offer\nMarketing materials\nFinding the businesses/contacts to reach out to\nInitial phone call\nNegotiating the details\nClosing the sale\nDevelop the timeline\n\nAugust 18th (10am – 12pm EST)\, Presented by Chris Puppione\, Key Account Manager\, Coravin & WISE Academy Coach \n\nClient Management – communication\, preparation and tech/tools\nDesign & programing of Corporate Virtual Experiences\nMarketing & Outreach\nSales Cycle & Opportunities\nOperations / Logistics\n\n?
