Every December, procurement teams across the CBD order the same things: wine, hampers, branded notebooks and power banks with a logo on the side. Clients receive a pile of them and remember very few. If you know a client has a dog, there is an option that is far harder to forget, because it is about the household member they bring up at every meeting.
How the usual corporate gifts compare
- Hampers: generous, but eaten and gone within a week.
- Branded stationery: useful, yet it promotes your company rather than showing you know the client.
- Wine: not suitable for every client, and easy to get wrong.
- Something for their dog: personal, unexpected, and talked about at home.
The gift that carries the client’s own dog
A personalised dog harness singapore pet owners would happily pick for themselves places the dog’s own face on the chest with its name beside it. A client who mentions their Schnauzer every time you meet, and then receives one with that Schnauzer illustrated on it knows you were listening.
Little Red Cute makes each harness to order in Singapore. The dog is illustrated from a single photo in a chosen style, and the completed design is displayed for sign-off ahead of payment. Production only follows sign-off, which suits corporate gifting well, since someone on your team can check every design against the brief.
What you need to know before ordering
- Fabric: polyester, neoprene and mesh
- Fit: an adjustable strap, offered in XS, S, M and L
- Printing: sublimation, where heat and pressure carry the artwork into the material
Getting the photo and size without spoiling the surprise
This is the only tricky part. You may already have a dog photo the client has shared in a chat or posted publicly; it needs to be clear and well-lit, with the face visible and the dog facing the camera more or less. A phone shot works. For the size, you could quietly ask an assistant or a colleague close to the client, or simply be upfront. A short message saying you have something in mind for their dog rarely ruins the moment.
Making it part of your client programme
Keep a short list of clients with dogs, noting names, breeds and rough sizes as they come up naturally over the year. When gifting season arrives, the order becomes a few uploads and approvals rather than a scramble. Add a handwritten card and you have the kind of gift a client photographs and forwards to the family group chat, which is not something a box of cookies tends to inspire.
