Convey Sentiments of Goodwill with Corporate Gifts, Pretoria!

The city of Pretoria is fondly known throughout South Africa as the Jacaranda City due to the characteristic proliferation of jacaranda trees that line the city’s streets, especially its older areas. This city is home to umpteen important corporate organisations. Many of these concerns periodically give and receive corporate gifts in Pretoria to help them convey goodwill.  

These entities include the University of Pretoria (Tuks), colleges, national monuments and heritage sites, sports clubs, art galleries, numerous businesses and industries, as well as foreign embassies. Pretoria is the obvious choice for the local location of overseas organisations because the city is also South Africa’s administrative capital.

One of South Africa’s leading suppliers of corporate gifting solutions, XCO Group, was founded in Pretoria several decades ago. We’re still true to our home city, now in the nearby Irene area. When we first began trading, we operated a Pretoria-based retail outlet, from where we supplied and sold sportswear and associated equipment to our country’s sports-mad fraternity.

Corporate and promotional gifts didn’t feature until considerably later, after our retail operation and range of products continued to grow and expand. This signalled numerous significant changes for XCO Group.

        ·        1990 – 3 years after establishing our retail store, we initiated our wholesale operations with 27 schools.

·        1999 – we opened a rugby shop that supplied branded Blue Bulls merchandise, which included mementos and products that could serve as ideal corporate gifts for lovers of rugby, especially those who support the Blue Bull team.

·        2006 – we started our institutional and corporate wholesale company.

·        2011 – XCO launched our Etail online ordering and brand management functions and tools.

·        2014 – an extremely significant, memorable year for XCO Group and our network. Our manufacturing unit was awarded a Proudly South African certificate. Additionally, we launched four divisions in Pretoria to form a formal group, consisting of and accordingly named Sport, Workwear, Exposure, and Corporate.

 

Our corporate gift department is an invaluable offshoot of the latter division, whilst our great and gorgeous gift ranges also serve to display, expose, promote, build, and expand your organisation’s brand, as well as its products, services, and presence.

 

Not all South Africa’s business enterprises which wish to acquire quality, affordably priced corporate gifts are located in Pretoria. Fortunately, XCO Group’s state-of-the-art, user-friendly online catalogues and ordering system make it possible to find, view, and order our gifts, simply by doing the necessary online. Moreover, XCO Group is represented internationally, with a presence in Botswana and Namibia.

 

Buyers should remember that guideline gift prices exclude VAT and branding costs, which can only be determined accurately once your choice of gifts and the complexity of your logo are known by our on-site branding studio’s personnel.

 

All gifts are clearly displayed online; most illustrations include the most essential information, which may be relevant in selecting which of these corporate gifts to purchase – easily and conveniently – in Pretoria and elsewhere. After deciding on gifts, branding enters the picture, literally and figuratively.

 

Benefits of Corporate Gift Branding

 

This essential practise offers numerous benefits, providing that branding is accomplished precisely, accurately, and faultlessly:

        ·        The gift is given on a pure, business-only basis, from one corporate entity to another, freely and without any hidden agendas.

·        A tangible expression of thanks, appreciation, and goodwill, which may also indicate that you and the company you represent value the recipient and their support, loyalty, and contribution to your business now and/or in the future.

·        It contributes to building a closer, healthier, and stronger business relationship.

·        It pleases recipients.

·        A quality well-chosen, useful, handy, and practical branded gift, even if relatively inexpensive, is always welcome, appreciated, and used.

·        It’s an essential element of marketing and advertising campaigns, as well as providing ad hoc brand exposure.

·        It keeps your brand, its presence, relevance, products, and services top of mind.

·        It’s typically noticed by more people than the recipient only.

·        Branding may be strong and bold or more understated and subtle, depending on the size and nature of the gift.

Because, as intended, the ranges of creative, innovative promotional gifts on offer at XCO Group are extensive, you’re sure to find the product/s you want at a price with which you’re comfortable, bearing in mind that most businesses in Pretoria allocate a budget for marketing and promotional items.
