(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nA new Harris Poll for Packed with Purpose found that 59% of corporate gift recipients would rather receive nothing than a generic branded item, per Yahoo Finance.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're sourcing corporate gifts, stop buying branded commodity objects. Instead, partner with local artisans or niche makers—send a $40 heirloom-quality item that has a story and a maker's name attached, not your company's logo. The recipient keeps it because it's good, not because it's branded. Your company name lives in the unboxing video and the thank-you note, not on the thing itself.\nWhat that means for you: This poll is a gift to any small brand selling to B2B. It says the Fortune 500 corporate-gifting budget is broken and looking for a fix. If you make something good enough that someone would buy it for themselves, you have a B2B gifting play. Don't chase the corporate branded objects category—go after corporate customers who want to send real gifts and are tired of the alternatives.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Yahoo Finance (Packed with Purpose/Harris Poll): http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6ad114db3cf74b3291410fcdbf59e7c8&url=https%3a%2f%2ffinance.yahoo.com%2fsmall-business%2farticles%2f59-corporate-gift-recipients-rather-141800662.html&c=12502429186586224766&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
