Office supplies and branded business gift ideas are standard. The alcohol bottle does not have the same value in the Netherlands as a business gift in the Nordic countries.

United Arab Emirates

Providing a small business gift or souvenir in business negotiations and meetings is a polite and valued way. However, the reason for giving a gift must be known to avoid misunderstandings. Business gifts will be given after the end of negotiations or courtesy visits.

The best choice is to export something exotic Finnish or a product related to your own business. Glassware, books, souvenirs and gifts are also suitable for export.

Bahrain

No business gifts are expected in Bahrain, but they are very welcome. Gifts should be typical gift items. There is a need to avoid giving up, but also in too precious gifts there is a risk that the donor will be expecting to receive a lot of objections.

Bangladesh

Bangladeshis appreciate small and high quality gifts. They must not be so delicate or luxurious as they cause addiction, which in turn makes the Saabghan people feel embarrassed. Company-related products, as well as products and objects related to Finland are highly valued. Pen sets, calendars, and notebooks are also great gifts. The forbidden products are alcohol, tie, tie and cufflinks.

 

Belgium

Business gifts are given in Belgium in the same way as elsewhere in Europe. However, at the first meeting, giving a gift is usually considered to be gross. Choice of business gifts should be exercised with reflection, because too luxurious gifts are rejected in Belgium. It's best to limit gifts to practical office-designed office equipment.

Egypt

In Egypt, business gifts are considered to be kindness and therefore welcome. Reasonable business gifts are part of trading and are often indispensable for business relationships.

South Korea

Business gifts in South Korea are of great importance since giving and receiving them is an important ritual in Korean society. The adoption of business gifts is accompanied by their own etiquette, which often causes problems for the West. Business gifts show gratitude and seek to influence the gift recipient. In Korea, business gifts are not "expected" as such, but the foreigner's wish is to leave some tangible memory of himself and the company he represents. Business gifts are usually exchanged on the first visit and are handed out at the end of the negotiation. Even the Koreans themselves often share business gifts. This is based on their thinking: "give in order to be given". Every business gift is expected to be rebuffed. The mental balance of the recipient (kibun) can suffer if the given gift is answered with a lesser amount of counterfeit. Receiving a business gift means that the recipient has accepted the gift and is thus liable in one way or another in return.

A priceless business gift is rarely given without purpose: the obligation to obtain a benefit or the creation of a climate that the recipient of the gift is compassionate to the donor. A compelling expensive business gift is replied to or denied. Typical times when business gifts are distributed in Korea, in October, both in Christmas and New Year. Business gifts are used to communicate the seriousness of a business relationship. Once a trade has been created, people who have been affected by the trade are grateful. The value and size of a business gift is selected according to the recipient's position. Leadership gifts should be of good quality, eg engraved high-quality pencil or unusual desktop calendar. Koreans like cultural objects that are from the home country of the visitor. Items can be books (see section for business gift books), fine linen or the like. A bottle of good and expensive alcohol is always a welcome business gift (excluding the red Johnny Walker, whose giving is considered an offense). Vodka is not recommended as a business gift. The so-called splint sharing is not desirable in Korea, as a lot of related products are produced in Korea. According to the Korean customs regulations, it is forbidden to export gifts worth more than 5,000 Won, but customs will always have to pay if there are more than 10 pieces of the same item.

Hong Kong

Gifting in Hong Kong is not taken as seriously as Japan, Korea, or China. Generally, there are no business gifts, but small notes of business gifts or gifts are sometimes in place, especially in special situations. Small promotional gifts are not for Finns to give because there are a lot of factories in Hong Kong and small promotional gifts are considered a cheap joke. Particularly welcome at dinners are business gifts that resemble this opportunity or are related to the company's own business or describe the home country of the vendor.

Hong Kong does not appreciate Finnish design or knives as a business gift. Also, the clock should not be given as a business gift because the word "clock" is combined with death. Reindeer, horns or small objects made from bone are sometimes amazingly popular.

India

In India, business gifts are usually not necessary. However, they are popular and can even be expected. Ad gifts are generally accepted, but they should be given with great care. In India, business gifts are considered a sign of friendship, and normally the distinction between a personal friend and a business partner. However, good trade aspirations can be followed by different value ratings. It is good, however, for Aliens to know the differences between the gifts that are meant to show praise and those that show compassion.

Business gifts should be in the position of the recipient and they should also be carefully selected. A business gift is answered by offering dinner or giving a revelation. A great pleasure for a businessman, colleague or friend is provided by a high quality technical product, a porcelain or colorless crystal object. Leather articles are not the unwanted gifts in India. Whiskey and Cognac are suitable for gifts only when the recipient is known to hold them. Other alcoholic beverages and tobacco are not suitable for business gifts.

In Ireland, business gifts are not indispensable in business. Since it is not customary to offer expensive gifts in Ireland, business gifts must at least initially be restrained and avoid large, valuable and priceless gifts as they may cause misunderstandings. Initially, business gifts are mainly limited to business-related items. As the business relationship progresses, especially with the middle and lower management, a bottle of tax-free alcohol is welcome. After a conference, a good designer can be given a Finnish design product, for example. Knife or other similar objects with a company's trademark can also be given as a business gift. When invited to the house, gifts suitable for the host are chocolates, sweets, flowers or boxes of selected French cheeses and wine or other alcohol for the host.

United Kingdom / England

Business gifts are generally not part of English business practices. However, they can be beneficial, especially in terms of long-term trading or successful big trade. When it comes to dealing with authorities, business gifts are best left unchecked. Instead of business gifts, England is preferred to lunch, dinner, groom or evening at the theater or ballet. The value of business gifts varies greatly, but usually the gift has to be evaluated so that it does not violate or affect the bounty. Many companies have strict guidelines on what kind of gifts can and cannot be received. The gift of a small and symbolic gift is in place. Generally, a business gift is something that is related to a customer's hobby or something that is associated with a client's office.

More than the monetary value of a gift means that the gift-maker has spent time and effort choosing a gift that is right for the recipient. In Italy, it is very thoughtful to give a business-related gift. Business gifts can include, for example, luxurious business calendars, books, art galleries, assortment of Finnish liqueurs or smoked salmon. Birds or other bird-like objects should not be given as gifts to the Italians, as getting a bird knows very bad, for in Northern Italy the bird predicts death and the owl symbolizes death. Nor should the knife be given as a business gift because in Italy it is a sign of verdict.

Austria

Business gifts are not particularly common in Austria. However, if a business gift is to be given, avoid the need for wholesome products. As a business gift, something typical of Finnish can be given, such as craftsmanship (poppanane, jewellery, jewellery, etc.) or glass. Also a bottle of fine and good whiskey is a good business gift.

Japan

Business gifts are common in Japan. They are both given and received abundantly. The Japanese give gifts in all possible, and sometimes impossible situations. This gift box has been explained to the recipient as a goodwill that is intended to create a vague sense of obligation or gratitude.

Business gifts are usually given in Japan at the first meeting. It is a habit that the Japanese will give gifts to their first guest, but an alien is not expected to take business gifts for the first time. For the first time, it is enough to take a gift to the company's manager. The top executives' gifts should be worth $100-150 and the top leaders 50 US dollars. Foreign people are favorably gifted for business gifts, but guests should not exceed the value of the gifts given by the Japanese in their own gifts. If a Japanese business gets a business gift, it's important to make sure that he is receiving a counterfeiter during the visit. When choosing a gift, you should look for a product that symbolizes a desired aspect with a gift recipient, such as a long and durable item.

The Japanese appreciate that a Japanese businessman or cufflinks from a Japanese person use the gift at the next meeting.

China

In China, gifts are given to show appreciation or gratitude, commemoration, reward or "repayment". To give the Chinese a gift is also a way of saying, "I hope this friendship will remain."

Earlier, Chinese legislation was very strict in terms of gifts and it was even illegal. Nowadays, the issue is no longer so strict.

As a rule of thumb, business gifts worth more than US $ 10 will be given to the dan-wee, their work unit where they will be given to the most needy, model-worker or Lottery prize. Business gifts should preferably be their own business activities, souvenirs, or small utility items with a corporate logo.

In a business gift, it is always good to have a logo as it changes the gift into memory. The best business gifts are those that are cheap in the West but rare in China. T-shirts, notebooks, cartridges, calculators, key rings and carry bags with company logo are very small business gifts. Other technical and electronic consumables are good business gifts.

The principle is the same as in embroidery, but the logo is sewn on the base fabric. After that, the mark is either sewn or attached by heating to the garment. The advantage of the characters is to make more than one song at a time for further use.

Woven mark

In large quantities, it is cheaper than embroidery or straight embroidery. The woven mark can be made with finer detail and smaller letters. The name pads are either sewn or attached by heating to the garment.

Screen printing

Affordable in single and two-color labels and in large quantities. We get some details on it. Silk printing is a method where the color is directly printed on the product. Images are digitally separated and each color is printed on black film. In this printing method, the color is pressed through a woven screen fabric through the frame onto the printing surface. The template blocks the screen from those spots where the color does not want to move to the weight surface. Each color requires your own movie and a template

Printed product folder

Like silkscreen printing, but only printed on fabric that is sewn or heated to the textile.

The Decal

Allows small details and most colors to be used. The image printed in the offset printing is first printed as a mirror image on the transfer paper. Using a printing press, paper and product are pressed against each other at high temperatures. Thanks to the heat, the ink separates from the paper and snaps into the product. The product to be sprayed must withstand a temperature of 150 ° C.

digital printing

The method of printing by a computer controlled digital printer directly into a product, for example, a t-shirt or a graphic is transferred to a transparent transfer foil from which it is cut off and heat-shrunk to the product. This method provides for example photographic or multicolored images.
