WHY WAIT FOR JUST VALENTINE’S DAY? NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY AGAIN.
Fun fact: February comes around just once every year. And it’s a pretty significant month too, because they say it’s the month of love. Specifically, day number 14. A day when we are all supposed to band together and encourage that little rotund kid with wings… you know the one, his name rhymes with ‘Stupid’ – to run around and spread love all around. Nice.
But why restrict condensing and spreading the love to just February, when we can show our people the love and the appreciation all year round? You’ll agree, that’s a lot more sustainable than just one day in the calendar. Of course, we’d never dream of telling you to not celebrate the day of love, Valentine’s Day is important for most. What we’re saying is that the probability for success would be greatly increased if you took it slow and steady, with consistent ‘love doses’ that spanned the entire year.
So, to usher in all this love, warm and fuzzies and general feel-good to last the year, we thought you could use with a solid plan to win those hearts. We’ve put together a 5-point strategy to guide you along. I mean, let’s be honest. Winning at love means you absolutely have to have a winning game plan. Ready? Let’s begin.

LOVE STRATEGY 1: KNOW A BIT ABOUT THE PERSON, BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO SURPRISE THEM.
The object of your affection is probably expecting the usual, run of the mill month-of-love gifts. You know, chocolates, flowers or some other arb object that somehow demonstrates your aforementioned ‘affection’. Taking the blanket approach can be a little underwhelming, to say the least. That’s why selecting the right gift for the right person to get the right response is absolutely crucial. To do that, you have to find out what they like, don’t like and what their tastes are. Now’s the time to pull that Ignition ace from under your sleeve and totally surprise them with a branded gift that is so ‘them’, so sublime, and so totally unexpected! Have a chat with us and let’s help you knock their socks off!
LOVE STRATEGY 2: PROTECT THEIR HEARTS AND THEIR MINDS
There’s much truth in that old saying, ‘A sound mind in a sound body’. Keeping fit, healthy and active is the sure-fire way to achieve both. In fact, it’s totally backed up by science. Exercise improves cardiovascular health, and has been proven to release the feel-good hormone endorphin, as well as the happiness hormone serotonin. Exercise also improves mental health, helping to reduce stress and helping with clearer thinking and enhanced problem-solving. How about you encourage a wellness culture at the office? Our range of brandable plastic and glass water bottles are ideal to help keep your staff, suppliers and customers hydrated. Our range of yoga mats are perfect for stretching and getting in a light workout during tea and lunch breaks. Be sure to check out our stunning fitness watches that will help them keep track of their health goals, our UV-C sterilising pouches are perfect for the gym, plus, we have other cool hi-tech or no-tech gifts to get their pulses racing. Simply chat to Ignition today, and let us hook you up!

LOVE STRATEGY 3: SURPRISE THEM WITH A SPOIL… IT SHOWS YOU CARE
If you’ve suddenly just wondered why it’s so important to make your staff, suppliers, customers and stakeholders feel the love, research has proven that a well-selected corporate gift places your brand top-of-mind, and the associative emotions are rekindled each time the recipient of your corporate gift recalls your thoughtful gesture. This can, however, be a bit of a double-edged sword. A great gift will get a great response. A poorly-selected gift could backfire… badly. Our range of branded notebooks, diaries, year planners, pens, pencils…Ignition has what you need to make the right impact! But, the safest bet is to reach out to Ignition, and let us help you choose the perfect spoil that will be absolutely perfect for that special person.
LOVE STRATEGY 4: MAKE THEM THE CENTRE OF YOUR (CORPORATE) UNIVERSE
Your staff are the backbone of your organisation, and to a large degree, are responsible for making your world a continual success. Studies indicate that when a company shows a high level of sincere appreciation for their people, the net result is often greater work commitment, greater workforce cohesion, and a better and greatly improved corporate culture. One such way to achieve this is through a standardised corporate uniform, or stylish, functional and customisable corporate workwear. We have the ultimate range that includes branded golf shirts, caps, jackets and shirts, to skirts and blouses, and accessories that your staff will love!
LOVE STRATEGY 5: WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO THEM SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO YOU
At the end of the day, we know that people are people. We sometimes forget what we’ve been told, but we will never forget the way we were made to feel. Understanding their likes, their dislikes, their passions, personality and taste, and what really warms the cockles of their hearts is key. How else are you going to get those positive, warm and fuzzies you’re after? So, go ahead, and show your staff you care, with a tastefully branded corporate gift hamper. It also works wonders for suppliers, customers and your stakeholders, too. Our iSwag boxes are just the thing. Fully-customisable for both genders, you can choose the items you want to be placed into each iSwag box, for each unique individual. Come to think of it, special events are just as special as the people celebrating them, and our hampers are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, to welcome or onboard new staff members, and lots more! The only limiting factor in creating the ultimate iSwag box is your imagination, so go wild!
Customise your iSwag boxes with chocolates, branded coffee mugs, water bottles in BPA-FREE plastic or glass, or even work-enhancing electronic gifts such as branded USB devices, drives, or laptop bags. Have a chat with us to see how we can help you customise your iSwag box, today!

A QUICK Q&A ROUND-UP BEFORE WE GO…
Q: SO, WHY IS VALENTINE'S DAY CELEBRATED, IN THE FIRST PLACE?
A: Not to get too technical about it, Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honouring early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. Today, the day has come to signify love, romance and gifting the one you love with lavish and beautiful gifts.
Q: WHAT’S THE ABSOLUTE BEST GIFT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY?
A: Good question. That would depend entirely on who you are gifting, what their tastes are, and of course, what your budget is set at. If you are feeling a little overwhelmed with all the awesome choices out there, reach out to Ignition today and let us help steer you in the right direction.
Q: WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR VALENTINE DAY GIFTS?
A: From a traditional standpoint, the usual gifts would tend to centre around the concept of romantic love, or platonic love to show fondness and appreciation. Therefore, in the case of romantic love, gifts such as bouquets of red roses, chocolates, greeting cards, and jewellery (wedding rings, as proposals are rife on this day) are quite common. For non-romantic expressions of love, they sky’s the limit! Why not break the tradition and gift the person you love with what you’d like them to have.

Q: AS A BUSINESS OWNER, IS VALENTINE'S DAY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CELEBRATE WITH STAFF?
A: Absolutely yes, and without any doubts whatsoever! The celebration of love is such an awesome opportunity to show your staff just how much they are loved, appreciated and valued. Don’t miss the change to let them know!

We think that you shouldn’t have to wait for just one day in the year to show you care. So we encourage you to show those you care about exactly how you feel – all year through. Often, in this cold, hard world, a little love tends to go a long way. So, let us show you the love through the Ignition Difference. Simply reach out today, and let us help you spread the love!
