Custom Chocolate Makes a Great Gift
Often the problem with choosing a corporate gift is that you have to give the same thing to a number of different people, all of whom have different styles, personalities and preferences. Chocolate has long been considered one of the most common gift products due to the versatility and universal appeal. Below are some of the many great reasons to consider chocolate for your next corporate gift or giveaway.

Variety
Part of the broad general appeal of chocolate, beyond it being simply delicious, is that there are many different type and flavors. To start there is milk, dark or white chocolate. From there it can be purchased as a solid bar of any size or it can be turned into truffles, candies or used as a coating for nuts and fruits. These different choices offer gift givers the ability to make the perfect combination to please any individual or everyone in a group.

Fits Any Budget
Whether you are looking to spend less than $1.00 or more than $100, there is a chocolate option available within your budget. For an inexpensive giveaway or gift item there are foil wrapped shapes, chocolate covered cookies or custom chocolate bars available from $0.25 - $2.00 per piece. When sending a gift to be shared by a group, a 45-piece chocolate assortment starts around $30. For the largest of groups or highest of price points, custom towers can be made to combine any number of chocolates, candies, nuts and fruits. These typically start around $50 and can go up as high as you are willing to spend.

Perfect for Any Occasion
There are so many occasions where chocolate is an appropriate gift, that you can time yours accordingly to make the best impact. Holidays happen all year long; not just in December. Consider giving employees or customers a tasty chocolate treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Easter or anytime in between. They also make great anniversary gifts. Giving your chocolate gift for one of the lesser celebrated occasions gives you the opportunity to really stand out.

Lots of Branding Options
Promotional chocolates offer many different types of customization, making it easy to create a unique gift that really envelops your brand. The chocolate itself can be engraved with a logo and text, or you can have it sculpted into any custom shape imaginable. In addition to this, most manufacturers offer a variety of custom packaging options. The wrapper of a single bar or the box of a large assortment can be completely customized with a full-color imprint, giving your gift a sophisticated and retail look. Combining these methods will ensure that your message is noticed by recipients from the moment they receive your gift until the very last bite has been devoured.


Those who don't like chocolate are few and far between. The many options available and the ability to combine them make it easy to create a gift that will please just about everyone. Using chocolate as a marketing tool or gift item this year, just may be your key to boosting relationships and sales.
