10 Q&As on Corporate Gifting for B2B Marketing Teams

10 Q&As on Corporate Gifting (Answered Honestly)

Corporate gifting works a charm — when it’s done with intent 🎁

I get asked a lot of the same questions by marketing leaders.

So here’s a straight-talk, no-fluff Q&A on corporate gifting 👇

1️⃣ What is a corporate gifting platform?

Software that helps teams send physical gifts at scale.

Address capture, fulfilment, tracking, reporting — without spreadsheets.

2️⃣ Does corporate gifting work for B2B outbound?

Yes.

But only when it’s targeted, well-timed, and followed up properly.

It complements ABM. It doesn’t replace good outreach.

3️⃣ When does gifting not work?

When it’s random.

When it’s mass-sent.

When it’s used as a bribe instead of a conversation starter.

4️⃣ How do teams get addresses without annoying prospects?

They don’t ask directly.

They use address capture and verification workflows that feel natural.

5️⃣ What should you send in a B2B campaign?

Something work-appropriate.

Easy to enjoy.

Relevant to the recipient.

And useful as a reason to follow up.

6️⃣ Is swag still effective?

Rarely.

Most branded merch ends up in a drawer (or a bin).

7️⃣ Is gifting just for enterprise budgets?

No.

Smaller, thoughtful moments often outperform expensive boxes.

8️⃣ Should sales or marketing own gifting?

Both.

The best results come when it’s shared, not siloed.

9️⃣ How do you measure success?

Replies.

Meetings booked.

Pipeline influenced.

Not “number of boxes sent”.

🔟 Is gifting scalable without losing the human touch?

Yes — if the system handles the admin

and humans handle the intent.

BONUS QUESTION: What’s the biggest mistake teams make?

Forgetting the follow-up.
