What makes a corporate gift right for clients, not employees?
Client gifts should feel like relationship gestures, not merchandise: fewer logos, more craft, and a note rather than a payslip-adjacent perk. Meru Gifting recommends premium (₹1,500–₹5,000) or executive (₹5,000–₹40,000) bands for clients, versus token or standard bands for large employee batches.

How much should a client gift cost?
| Relationship | Suggested band | Example |
|---|---|---|
| New or mid-tier client | ₹1,500–₹3,000 | Leather stationery set, meenakari keepsake |
| Key account | ₹3,000–₹8,000 | Recognition plaque, marble photo frame |
| Strategic / leadership relationship | ₹8,000–₹40,000 | Wooden Parliament replica, carved chess set, large Dharohar showpiece |
Should client gifts be branded or unbranded?
We recommend light or no branding on client gifts — a discreet engraved note ("With compliments from [Company]") rather than a large printed logo. Artisanal Dharohar pieces are typically kept unbranded to preserve the craft.
