4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

The Psychology of Corporate Experience Gifts

Recent research by Puente-Díaz and Cavazos-Arroyo (2024) reveals something fascinating: experiential gifts forge stronger emotional connections than material presents. Why? Because experiences align with recipients’ core values and foster a sense of autonomy – crucial factors in business relationship building.

Corporate gifts that drive lasting business relationships

How Corporate Experiences Drive Lasting Business Relationships

Think about it. Which would your clients remember longer:

Another branded corporate gift basket
A thrilling jet boat adventure
One more promotional product
A masterclass in wine tasting

The science shows that experiences create lasting memories that strengthen business bonds, while material gifts often end up forgotten in desk drawers.

The Business Impact of Autonomy-Driven Gifting

According to Self-Determination Theory, three elements drive human motivation:

Autonomy
Competence
Connection

RedBalloon’s corporate experiences tick all these boxes by offering:

Freedom to choose when and how to enjoy the gift
Opportunity to learn new skills
Shared experiences that build relationships
