An insider view of Singapore Corporate Gifts industry in 2018

As the year 2017 is coming to an end and we will be welcoming 2018 in a few days time, many companies in Singapore are planning and budgeting for their marketing campaigns. DC9 Gifts Pte Ltd is here to share some insider views on Singapore corporate gifts industry's outlook in the upcoming year, popular promotional products, value for money items and lead time for gifts customization. 

Singapore corporate gifts industry received a lukewarm year in 2017 and is expected to continue through 2018. Many industry players shared the same sentiment with some even commenting the old goods times will never be back. DC9 feels that the overall market demand for corporate gifts and promotional products is still going strong. Many emerging players are riding the wave of technology to disrupt this conventional industry. Companies without much IT knowledge found themselves being thrown way behind. Hence, it is important to keep abreast of all technological advances to stay relevant in all industries. 

Many purchasing executives in Singapore are constantly plagued by the need to have innovative, novel, practical and economical promotional products. DC9 will always recommend USB flash drives or commonly knows as thumbdrives, felt folders which are getting popular and world travel adaptors.  

We would also like to recommend some value for money corporate gifts items in 2018.

1. Canvas bag printing - this tote bag is extremely suitable as carrier for events and exhibitions for program booklets and papers.
2. Personalized water bottles - we have many colors, designs and capacities for custom water bottles which are ideal for children's day gifts, sports events and even daily uses.
3. Custom notebook printing - we have notebooks made of eco-friendly material and PU leather. We can imprint corporate logos on these writing equipment. 

These products are our ready stocks and can be delivered within 3-5 days of order confirmation. 

Finally we would like to share some common pointers on gifts customization. As the leading corporate gifts supplier in Singapore, we have many products in stock which are able to cater most rush orders. However, certain customization will require about 6-7 weeks upon order and design confirmation.
