How to Use EOFY Gifting to Strengthen B2B Relationships
Grace Dagher • June 23, 2025

Why thoughtful gifting at tax time isn’t just smart business - it’s a strategic relationship move.

EOFY gifting isn’t just a feel-good gesture.

It’s a strategic opportunity to strengthen relationships, spark conversations, and quietly position your brand as the one they remember - long after the reports are closed.

But let’s be honest - most companies waste their budget on generic hampers, branded mugs, or items that are forgotten (or binned) within days.

Here’s how to make sure your gift doesn’t get thrown away - but instead builds real business momentum.


1. SHIFT FROM PRODUCT TO PRESENCE

A gift doesn’t need to be expensive - but it does need to be intentional.

The question we always ask at GD Events is:

If you received this, would you actually use it?
If not, don’t send it. Spend the money somewhere else and don’t worry about the gift.

When you send something beautifully curated, aligned with your brand, and designed with care - you’re not just gifting a product.

You’re gifting presence. A sensory extension of your values.


2. MAKE IT RELEVANT, NOT RANDOM

Avoid cookie-cutter gift boxes that scream “last-minute.”

Instead, choose inclusions that reflect your relationship with the recipient.

Think:

  • Tailored items based on their industry or interests
  • Locally sourced, premium-quality inclusions
  • Handwritten or brand-aligned messaging

At GD Events, we design every gifting experience to feel one-of-one. That’s what makes it land.


3. TIE THE GIFT TO THE FUTURE - NOT JUST THE PAST

Most EOFY gifts are a polite “thank you.”

But the best gifts create a conversation about what’s next.

Add a note that says:

“Looking forward to building more together next quarter.”
Or:
“Here’s to an even more impactful Q3.”

This simple shift reframes your gift from a wrap-up… to a warm-up.


4. MEASURE THE RIGHT ROI

The real ROI of gifting isn’t about immediate sales.

It’s about:

  • Reopened conversations
  • Increased brand trust
  • Retention of key accounts
  • Elevating your perceived value

Strategic gifting works like high-end marketing - because it’s not what’s in the box.

It’s what the box says about your business.


FINAL TAKEAWAY

EOFY is your moment to reinforce trust, reconnect meaningfully, and leave a lasting brand impression.

If it’s going to end up in the bin, don’t send it.

But if it’s going to open doors, start conversations, and build your legacy -

Send it with confidence.

There’s something about December that softens people. The lights, the warmth, the way conversations loosen… People step into rooms a little more open, a little more willing to see and be seen. That’s why Come & See Christmas exists. Not as another seasonal catch-up, not as a noisy room filled with polite smiles — but as a place where people meet the right people at the right time… and walk out with something real. This year, we’re celebrating it with The 12 Days of Come & See Christmas — Twelve small windows into what the night will deliver. You’ll meet our partners — the scent, the sound, the flavour, the artistry, the technology… the people who help bring this experience to life. You’ll discover the moments we’ve crafted — a networking nudge here, a Christmas “ah-ha” moment there, a golden ticket from Sisterly Bites tucked in between conversations. And yes… you’ll hear whispers of a very special guest: Mario Malik . Why he’s coming? Well, you’ll find out on the night. But I’ll say this — if you’re walking into 2026 wanting clarity, confidence and connection, you’ll want to be in this room. Tickets are moving. Your seat is waiting.
