We Must Know More About The Gift Of Business Communication.

Scene: farewell party on foreign colleagues

Gift: souvenirs with Chinese characteristics

Johnson is going back to the US headquarters.

He and I are parallel posts.

He is the director of marketing department. I am the director of public relations. I often have opportunities to cooperate.

Although there are different arguments for cultural differences or problems, we also have arguments, but they are also not right people. Generally speaking, we are very good partner.

And he has infected the atmosphere of our meeting with the humor of American boy style. So he is leaving. I think I will still miss this working partner.

Before he leaves, the company will certainly hold a farewellparty for him, and I intend to give him a gift at this party.

But to be honest, giving presents is a headache. To give a good friend a gift that he can give him according to his usual understanding, but for a friend who is confined to colleagues only, what can he give to be able to be decent and let him like it? Well, there are many experiences in dealing with foreigners in his usual job, so I still have much to know about their taste and taste.

While I was thinking about what to give to Johnson, the boss gave me an order to choose a gift for Johnson on behalf of the whole company.

This is a serious problem. I have thought about what I want to buy, but if I want to send it on behalf of the whole company, I must weigh it.

After receiving this arduous task, I tried to stroll through the streets many times, and finally decided, of course, I had to rely on the help of the marketing department.

Farewell party that day, a group of colleagues around the conference room, music, drinks, all kinds of exquisite snacks, but in the crowd, Johnson still a little sad.

To send off the senior staff, the boss naturally wants to say something. Of course, it is a more formal official language like "recognition and encouragement".

Then we waited for the special guest, Johnson's girlfriend.

This girl can be said to be very great, because Johnson was sent to China in the same year, so she also gave up her job in the United States and began to study Chinese to find a job again. Now Johnson is going back, and she follows him.

When the best leading actor and actress arrived, the boss gave me a wink and asked me to prepare for the next important step - giving gifts.

Of course, I realized that when the boss said "we have some intentions to express", we promptly produced two exquisite boxes and handed them to Johnson and his girlfriend.

They were happy to open, and the surprise expression leaped on the face. It was the two set of the famous tailors I had to make.

The male blue needlewoman is very happy, the material is exquisite and the work is authentic.

Encouraged by all of us, they put their clothes on the right body, and the size was certainly from the inside line.

They are excited to say that this is the clothes worn by leaders at the time of APEC, and we have instilled them in other knowledge. This dress is very popular when Chinese people are married. They are advised to wear them at wedding ceremonies and make these two happy as fireworks.

At the same time, I also sent my little gift, which is a pair of mahogany chopsticks which was found in a boutique. It was packed in a beautiful box, antique and very Chinese.

When I was given them, I said, I hope they can come back to the United States or eat Chinese food with chopsticks occasionally.

Johnson even said "thank you" and gave me an American hug.

Warm tips:

Gifts in general should not be too valuable, because the other party is not comfortable at the same time, at the same time also have to worry about the return of gifts.

Although the gift is not too expensive, the packing must be very particular.

Everything must have a facade, especially in business activities, so as to highlight the taste and face.

Gifts are usually based on souvenir.

Tips:

In Japan,

It's a deep-rooted habit, and it looks like it will never end in business circles.

Japanese are the most considerate of gifts, and the most important thing is to hide their thoughts and behaviors behind them.

For example, if you send someone a commemorative coin, let the commemorative coin add a little special meaning to your relationship. If you send someone a commemorative pen, you need to engrave the other's name on it and put it in a special box.

We should also pay attention to giving the most precious gift to the highest position, and with the lowering of status, the gift is adjusted accordingly.

If there is doubt about the position of the other party, you can send a high quality "group gift" (that is, representing your group to the other party's staff).

In order to avoid surprise, you should tell someone in the group that you will give them a gift.

Westerners do not care much about the value of gifts. They pursue romance and novelty. Sometimes a bird's feather and a strange stone can make them very happy.

But in some countries, special attention should be paid to it. For example, in Germany, gifts are usually not required unless they are invited to other people's homes.

Professional women should not give gifts to others unless they are treated with special courtesy.

In Austria, business occasions generally do not need to give gifts, but it is advisable to bring some small gifts, because they may be used at the end of the meeting or to express special thanks to someone.
