Corporate gifts should be personal and special

Corporate gifts are gifts given by a company to another party to show appreciation for the relationship that exists between them. For example, companies give gifts to their employees to show appreciation for their services to the company. They also commonly give gifts to clients especially those that have brought a lot of revenue into the company. Gifts can also be given to suppliers, shareholders and charities. Some common gifts given include calendars, branded caps, umbrellas, kikoys, notebooks, pens, mugs, clocks etc.

Most times, corporate gifts are given to the company’s clients. It’s important because they ensure that you stay in your clients’ mind and thus solidify your business relationship. They also show your clients that you think about them and if you choose the right gift, you show them that you know them well. All gifts should be personal whether they are given to friends or colleagues. Companies need to do the same because business is about establishing relationships and the same rules that apply in our day to day inter personal relationships should transcend into the business sector .As a business person what personal information do you know about your client. For example do you know your clients’ children? Why not then give a gift for the children. After all these are potentially your future clients. Add a handwritten note from the C.E.O. Your clients want to feel like they know you, that they have access. Give it to them. Nothing is personal like a bracelet with a child’s name and a handwritten note from the C.E.O. 

Mdada, a social enterprise that teaches practical entrepreneurship to young girls and enables them to earn as they learn brands bracelets for companies, organizations and individuals. The bracelets are handmade by young entrepreneurs giving them an opportunity to make money for their school fees or other projects. A company that partners with Mdada also satisfies their corporate social responsibility while at the same time gifting its partners. It’s that simple and amazing.

For more details on how to order the bracelets, simply contact lila@mdadaforgirls.com

Have a productive week ahead!

No to sponsors yes to boss babes

So many times I talk about the likes of Beyonce, Wangari Maathai, Michelle Obama, Oprah who inspire me so much in the way they speak, work and what they've done for women and the world at large through their gifts, talents and status in society. Today I want to talk about the inspiration that comes from within my business. It's about the girls/young women I work with to help them achieve their dreams whatever it could be either to get back to school, stay in school, pay for your upkeep etc. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to push people into doing something instead I prefer to inspire them to take action because really what one does is for their own good and development. 

This month I have been inspired by how my girls have taken initiative to get the Mdada kit, make bracelets which now are already selling at the Inside the Baobab shop at Yaya Centre. What they earn basically goes into their education and infact when you go to the shop and look at their bracelets which have a word that inspires them sewn onto them, you will see a short handwritten note from the girl on the tag. I thought this was a great idea for customers to connect with the girls and support their dreams by buying their bracelets. So anyway back to how inspired I am by these ladies.  They're willing to take a step towards making money for their school fees. Some of them have been out here looking for people to sponsor their education and instead they've met with opportunists looking to use their bodies for sexual favors in exchange for school fees. I tell my girls they don't need to get "sponsors". You have a brain and can work to earn money and my work is to show you how. This market is large enough for all of us women to thrive financially. I just can't wait to see what happens with my girls. I'm so proud of them and my prayer is that we pay those bills faster than we expected and reach our dreams.

Do you feel touched to pay their school fees or buy their merchandise? Please visit Inside the Baobab shop at Yaya centre and look out for Mdada bracelets or contact me Lila -0717832311
