 Gift baskets and gifts that contain G.H. Ford Teas and other hand-picked complimentary products are among the most appreciated during any holiday season. Whether you send 10 or 10,000 gifts, G.H. Ford can accommodate your scheduling, budgeting and aesthetic requirements.
The days of giving alcohol, fattening foods, and useless trinkets are long gone. The vast majority of gifts on the market are commonplace and of low quality, but carry an astonishingly high price tag. Commonplace and a poor value, these gifts certainly do not reflect our true intentions and are usually forgotten quickly. This certainly is not the gift's purpose in the first place!
We send business gifts during the holiday season to:
• Spread goodwill and brotherhood which envelope the true meaning of the holiday season.
• Thank customers and associates for their business and cooperation during the past year.
• Impart a lasting impression of our appreciation in the hope of not only continuing good relations, but of our desire to expand those relations to the limits that they are mutually beneficial.
To that end, the gifts must be thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing and consistent with the reasons stated above. They must also conform to budgetary considerations, whatever they may be.
Put simply, if the gift does not accomplish the goals stated above: Why send it at all? Why waste the energy and the money?
In days past, it was normal practice to purchase cases of liquor and candy only to send them assuming that they would be consumed and appreciated. Some were, but many were not. At this point, let us clarify that we do not stand in judgment with the consumption of these products in moderation. They do have their time and place.
What we have seen, however, is a dramatic change in society, and certainly within the groups of individuals most likely to be the recipients of business gifts. There seems to be a definite shift in opinion away from the types of gifts that, right or wrong, could be considered "bad" for you. Liquor, heavy sweets, etc. fall into this category. This shift is definitely towards products that are perceived as "healthy."
Tea, of course, has been making headlines for the past 5 or 6 years with many reports describing numerous positive effects associated with its regular consumption. Cancer, heart disease, and now arthritis is included to name a few. It is important to note, however, that G.H. Ford makes no specific claim as to the veracity of those or any other studies, but merely repeats certain parts to initiate interest and action of the consumer to research and form their own conclusions. Health considerations add only to the lure of tea. Tea has always been differentiated from coffee in that while coffee has a "go-go" image, tea has always nurtured an image of quiet, peaceful enjoyment.
There is, most definitely, a shift towards tea's image in the minds of working people the world over. How often have we heard of people making "quality of life" decisions in the last 5 years?
Our tea is of the highest quality, which enjoys an international reputation among connoisseurs and has been produced the same way for 91 years! The packaging is award winning and timeless, done in royal purple, lavender and gold with its design originating in 1907. The combination of our unique and high quality product, attractive packaging and complimentary side products make a gift that people actually look forward to receiving and using. We believe, it is the easiest and best way to attain the goals stated above, with no guilt.
We can custom design any size gift or order, ship it for you and even include personal items such as cards, calendars, planners, etc. in a time and cost-effective manner.
All you have to do is design the gift (with our assistance), provide us with the mailing list, labels, shipping parameters and payment. Then relax, it will be handled for you in an efficient and professional manner. You will receive much sincere appreciation.
With the Corporate Gifts Program we work with each customer on a personal basis to accommodate as many of your needs as possible. We do ask, however, that you contact us as early as possible to allow the proper amount of time for decision making, procurement, production and shipping.
