Books

It’s great to connect with customers and employees through books you’ve been influenced by, or that you think the recipient will benefit from reading.

Ivana Taylor, Book Editor at Small Business Trends, says books are ideal for the holidays:

“Business books are a terrific holiday business gift idea. We’ve pulled together some business book guides that will make ideal gifts; The 10 Best Management Books and Top 10 Marketing Books You Can’t Live Without are just two that is a collection of business books that will give the business owner or manager on your list countless ideas on inspiring employees and growing their business in the new year.”

Gift Buying Tip: Browse your local bookstore in the business or motivational books section, to see what’s available. If you want to give the same title to many people, ask if your store can order more quickly.  Chains may be able to get them from another nearby store.
