Gifts for Virtual Events

You're planning a virtual event, and you want to impress your attendees and thank them for working with your company. Nothing says "thank you" like a thoughtful gift box for a corporate event. Whether you're launching a new product, getting together online with fellow industry leaders, or hosting a company party, send your guests gifts for virtual events to make a lasting impression.

Knowing what to send as gifts for virtual event attendees doesn't have to be challenging. Think about your event, your brand, and what surprises guests would appreciate. Explore ideas for corporate gifting for virtual events below to help you decide what to send attendees.

How to Impress Attendees at Virtual Events With Gifts

Just because a corporate event or product launch happens virtually doesn't mean you can't celebrate with tangible "thank you" presents. Show off your business in the best light with gifts for virtual event attendees.

Be sure to include a note with your business' social media accounts and any hashtags you'd like the attendees to use. These hashtags could be ones you've specifically created for the event or a product. That will encourage recipients to post about their experiences with your business, and it'll provide your company with exposure on different social media sites. With that in mind, find inspiration for gifts to give for virtual corporate events based on the occasion.

Gifts for Virtual Product Launches

Your team worked hard to create a new product, and now it's time to share it with the world. If you're looking into editor gifting for virtual events, you know you need to stand out. Editors receive exclusive gifts and free products all the time. Yours shouldn't get lost in the shuffle. Instead of sending the new item, put something special together that celebrates your company's hard work.

You'll especially need a beautiful display when it comes to influencer gifting for a virtual product launch. You will want social media influencers to feel compelled to post stylish photos or videos of your gift, and an appealing display will make that easier. A stunning product launch gift will impress the influencers' followers and get them flocking to your brand. Indeed, almost 50% of consumers rely on influencers for purchase recommendations.

You don't want to miss out on such a large section of the market because your launch gift box wasn't as impressive as it could've been. Put together something special, and include these touches in a launch gift for virtual events.

The product: Your product will be the most prominent item in the gift box. But use it to determine everything else you add. Pull a color from your branding to incorporate in filler and wrapping to create a branded gift. Make your product stand out by placing it in the center of the box or in a display.

Related gifts: Some products naturally go well together. If you're releasing a new color or style option for a product, include previous versions in the box. If your new product requires any accessories, add them to the box. Your recipients will appreciate these thoughtful touches.

Decorative touches: You don't want to launch a product in a plain package. Use a virtual event box as an opportunity to put your brand on display. Add decorative accents like recycled or recyclable tissue paper or shredded filler. Top that off with dried or fresh flowers for a beautiful decoration.

Information: Put together an informative booklet or card about your product to include in the launch gift. The details give influencers something to read if they create a video unboxing your product, and it provides editors with details about the item. Use the introduction of this card as an opportunity to thank the recipient of your launch gift. Include your company's social media handles and any related hashtags here.

A display box: You want a sturdy (and aesthetically pleasing) display box to send the product in. A quality package will protect your launch gifts during shipping. It provides a multipurpose display recipients can reuse.

Gifts for Virtual Conferences

As the host or part of a virtual conference, you want to show guests that you are an industry leader. Part of demonstrating that is making yourself stand out. Sending virtual conference gifts creates a tangible and memorable experience for your attendees. Enhance that experience with practical gifts for virtual conferences.

  • Writing supplies: Your guests will be taking notes during the virtual conference. Send them a journal or notebook and pens with your company's name or logo. They'll think of you whenever they use these functional gifts.

  • A water bottle or mug: Provide another practical gift that attendees will use again and again. A reusable water bottle or a cup featuring your logo is an excellent way to get your brand out there.

  • Computer accessories: Headphones, mousepads and blue-light-blocking glasses will help your attendees as they're using devices to join the conference. Again, you can customize and brand these items or let the thoughtful gifts speak for themselves.

  • Snacks: Give your attendees snacks to fuel them through the conference. Include a mix of sweet and salty treats to satisfy everyone's tastes. Ensure you know if any attendees have food allergies or dietary restrictions, so you can send them food they'll enjoy.

  • A floral arrangement: Virtual conferences keep attendees at home or in their offices. Give them a floral arrangement to liven up their spaces. Select flowers in colors that match or complement your branding.

Combine these and other virtual conference gifts into one gift box or basket for attendees. Use decorative additions like filler and fresh or dried flowers. That extra touch will show conference guests you're willing to go the extra mile for them and your industry.


Gifts for Virtual Corporate Parties and Events

Virtual corporate parties and events should be educational and entertaining. Send gift boxes for virtual corporate events to engage with your attendees even when you're not in the same room. Send these gifts for virtual corporate parties and events.

  • Clothing: Send T-shirts, hats or other wearable items to corporate event guests. Have your company's name and the event date printed on the clothing as a keepsake. Attendees can wear them during your virtual gathering and use them in their daily lives. If you send shirts as gifts, create a survey or form for guests to fill out with their sizes or ask in your invitations.

  • Party favors: You can mail a lot of the giveaways you'd send guests home with at an in-person corporate event. Send attendees snack boxes, candles, portable chargers, tote bags or other practical gifts. Add your company name or a simple message related to the event. Package party favors in a gift box that's appropriate for the occasion.

  • Items for the event: Some virtual parties and events need something to help guests join in on the fun. Perhaps your virtual party involves baking or cooking. In that case, send nonperishable ingredients or useful cooking tools, like measuring cups or stirring utensils. If your virtual event is a game night, include items like dice or cards that your guests will need to play the game.

  • Cards: Write personalized notes of appreciation to your employees or attendees. That unique touch is sure to put a smile on your guests' faces and make them feel appreciated. Pick a card that's appropriate for the occasion, whether it's a holiday celebration or a thank-you gathering for team members.

  • Flowers: Put your card in a floral arrangement for a fun way to celebrate your corporate party. Use floral gift boxes for virtual event guests to preemptively thank them for participating. You could alternatively send the arrangements after the event with favors to thank your attendees.
