We’ll walk you through how corporate gifting logs are changing the game for financial advisors, enabling you to better show appreciation to your clients. This shift is crucial in today’s relationship-driven economy, all while ensuring industry compliance and adherence to company guidelines.

The Power of Precision

Being a financial advisor, your clients form the very essence of your business’s existence. Financial advisor client gifting is not just a token gesture; it’s a strategic move that can significantly impact client retention and referrals. However, in the past, many advisors relied on guesswork when it came to gift selection and timing, and had to painstakingly log each gift manually for compliance and to adhere to company guidelines.

Enter Client Giant’s gifting logs—an innovative solution that empowers financial advisors to make data-driven decisions when it comes to client appreciation while staying compliant to industry and company guidelines. That in mind, with gifting logs, you can:

  • Track Every Gift: You won’t need to play the guessing game anymore, wondering if your client ever got that festive holiday basket or heartfelt birthday card. Thanks to gifting logs, you’ve got a digital paper trail of every gift you’ve sent, making it crystal clear who received what.
  • Budget with Confidence: Financial advisors are no strangers to budgeting, and when it comes to client gifting, it’s no different. Gifting logs are your trusty sidekick in this financial advisory adventure, helping you stick to your budget by keeping tabs on your expenses and staying industry-compliant.

  • Personalize with Precision: Ever wanted to be the ultimate gift-giver, the one who picks out presents that feel like they were custom-made for your clients? Well, with gifting logs, you can get as close as it gets. By knowing your client’s interests and preferences, and understanding their history of gifts, you’ll be nailing those thoughtful presents, strengthening those client bonds along the way.

Set and Forget Your Financial Advisor Client Appreciation Gifts

We know you’re busy with the day-to-day running of your business, finding new clients, and boosting your relationship with existing ones. Our service can’t help with your admin, but it can help boost your customer loyalty and encourage referrals. We’ll take you through an onboarding process to learn about your company, your clients, and your budget so we can hit the ground running. After this, you can have as much input as you choose through your user-friendly account portal. This will show upcoming gifts, why they’ve been chosen, and what personalized note will be attached. You can choose to adjust elements, pause, or delay these shipments. Alternatively, you can leave it all to us, as many of our clients do. We have sent millions of thoughtful gifts on behalf of companies like yours and our winning combination of an experienced gift concierge team and smart AI will ensure the right gifts arrive with your clients at the right time. The best part is that none of the gifts or notes feature our name or branding so the recipient will think you’ve picked it out yourself. Your company gets all the credit and the boost to your client relationship without a large time commitment.

A Few Examples of Our Gifts

A surprise gift is always fun, but if it’s something you won’t use the excitement is fleeting. We use a combination of experienced gift curators and our pioneering smart customer logs. This ensures each client receives something that will wow them. We’ve partnered with incredible brands, so the gifts are top quality and don’t look generic. For example, two clients may benefit from relaxation outside work. For one, this means a spa set to help them unwind while the other will receive a new board game to arrange a games night with their friends. Our system also knows when to send the gifts for the best result, and this has resulted in many shares and tags on social media which helps spread your company name alongside personal referrals.

You can choose to send thoughtful curated gifts for as many life events as you and your budget choose. Many financial advisors send gifts for business anniversaries as a way to celebrate your clients’ commitment to your company and these tend to be well-received. Sending gifts for other life events can add a further personal touch. For example, why not send a baby bath set including an embroidered towel when your client welcomes a new child? Or an eco-conscious notebook and pen when they’ve reached a business goal? Whatever event you want to celebrate, we can help.

Don’t Forget Your Employees

It’s not just your clients who want to feel appreciated. Employees have plenty of choice when it comes to workplaces, so it takes more than a wage to retain skilled, passionate staff. Using our services to pick out a thoughtful financial advisor gift and those for your team members in other departments too can help your staff know that you care. For example, you can automate gifts for employee business anniversaries and birthdays. We offer unique onboarding gifts too, which can be helpful if you have remote employees to make them feel part of the team. Retaining the best employees will help your business thrive in many ways. You’ll eliminate the cost of regular recruitment, so you’ll protect your bottom line. When your customers have a smooth experience thanks to your great staff, they’re more likely to stay with your company and recommend you to others. All these benefits from you choosing an automated gifting service. It’s a no-brainer for your financial advisor business.
