Some surveys point out that Japanese people are the most considerate in giving gifts when doing business. Especially in business communication, small gifts are essential, and according to different people's preferences, they are very exquisitely designed, which can be said to be loved by everyone, and it is easy for people to have a good impression on gifts and people. It is not difficult to imagine that many Europeans and Americans can't put it down when they receive such a gift, and they can't help saying, "What a swonderful gift!"
Small gifts play an important role. The success of smart Japanese lies in their cleverness and shrewdness, understanding the psychology of foreign businessmen, and using their own strategies: first, understanding foreigners' preferences and doing what they like to win the favor of others; Secondly, they adopted acceptable gifts, because they knew that Europe and America had strict commercial laws and regulations, and gifts were easy to get burned, while small gifts were never suspected of taking bribes. Third, they are obsessed with their own culture and etiquette. In this way, they only need to use "small" gifts to completely "warm" people's hearts.
It can be seen that although the gift is small, people can't help but admire it when they get home.
In today's commercial society, "profit" and "ceremony" are linked together, and they are often interrelated. Courtesy before righteousness has become a universal law of business communication. In this regard, the reason is not difficult to understand, but the difficulty lies in the operation. Whether your gift-giving skills are in place like the Japanese, but can impress people and send them to your heart.
When sending a gift to a person's "heart", we should treat the weight of the gift carefully as a measure of whether the other party can accept it happily.
Round gift-giving should grasp the gift-giving opportunity and make different dishes for different people. Then you must not miss the following excellent gift-giving opportunities.
1. Take advantage of birthdays
On weekdays, you might as well write down the diaries of superiors, colleagues, subordinates, relatives and friends in a small notebook and mark them in red ink on the calendar at home. When their birthdays come, you can give them a special gift or even organize a birthday party for them, which will make them very moved. This is an effective means to achieve the effect of doing things.
Take advantage of an accident
For example, when you hear that there is a gas explosion in a building, a theft in a residential area, a sudden fire in a residential area or a flood in a certain area, and these disaster areas happen to have your relatives, friends or acquaintances, you might as well make a phone call to express your condolences or send some emergency items. In this way, the people you care about will have the feeling of meeting real friends and will keep you in mind. If you have anything to ask him in the future, he will try his best to help you.
Step 3 stay in bed while ill
Once a person is sick and bedridden, he will become fragile and irritable, and his reputation and vanity will be ignored. At this time, what he needs most is someone to visit him. You should make good use of this opportunity. If relatives and friends are on vacation due to illness, you should take time to visit them with gifts. Don't talk about work when chatting, tell more relaxed and interesting stories and news. Say some words of blessing when you leave, showing concern and sincerity.
If you don't have a chance to visit him for some reason, it's best to just ask him how he is or pretend not to know, and never apologize for not visiting him, which will make others think you are hypocritical.
Seeing a doctor is time-sensitive, the sooner the better, don't hesitate.
Use weddings and funerals to get married
Getting married is a good time to give gifts. When relatives, friends, children of superiors or subordinates get married or have children, they should send gifts and cash gifts in time, or help them wholeheartedly at weddings and banquets, or take pictures of them at unforgettable moments and give them as gifts in the future, which will be very popular with them.
When you hear that someone has passed away, you should take the initiative to sympathize with the family of the deceased and see him off at the funeral. If you really can't spare the time, you can call New Year.
Seizing the opportunity of giving gifts is conducive to the success of what you do.
In addition to the right time, it is also necessary to grasp whether the gift matches the identity of the recipient. A gift is a "gift" only if it is suitable for the identity of the recipient.
1. Affordable gifts for the poor
If the family is poor, life will not be comfortable. If the gift you give is cheap consumer goods, use it as a supplement. Instead of just sending ornamental handicrafts and leaving them on the shelf, it is better to send food or clothing items for him to consume immediately, which will make him more elated. He will thank you for "sending an umbrella in the rain" and "sending charcoal in the snow".
2. Exquisite gifts for the rich
If the recipient's family consumption level is high, it is difficult to arouse his interest in general gifts. You tighten your belt and spend half a month's salary on gifts, which may be commonplace in his place. As the Turkish proverb says, "Giving gifts to the rich is like taking water to the sea." Yes, sometimes you have to give that gift. I advise you to spend some time on refinement. For example, send a seal carved by yourself, so that you can carve it when painting, or send a tube carved from the roots of vines, which is not only a handicraft, but also does not cost much. This may interest the recipient, who may appreciate your detailed understanding of him and cherish your work very much.
3. There are commemorative gifts for lovers
Gold is valuable and priceless. Gift-giving between lovers does not depend on the price of the gift, but on the lovesickness and knowing each other. You gave her red leaves on your first trip; When you were engaged, that little poem; When she is sick, the bouquet of flowers will be like that series of kisses, that series of caresses, that kind words, deeply imprinted in her happy memory.
4. Interesting gifts for friends
Especially among young friends, life is carefree and romantic, so you can think more about fun when you reciprocate. A friend's birthday, sending handicrafts representing his zodiac, may make him happy; When he is decorating the room, you send a funny little monkey made of cloth and put it on the sofa, which will make him laugh; When she goes abroad, you will give her a handkerchief with the name of the whole class written on it, which will make her very excited.
5. Practical gifts for the elderly
Delicious food, comfortable clothes and urgently needed electrical appliances may win the favor of the elderly, which is very beneficial to their health and the relationship between the two generations.
6. Gifts for children
Nowadays, children have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation. What children expect is their intellectual development. Therefore, intellectual toys, books, school supplies and other gifts that can inspire their wisdom will be more popular.
7. Special gifts for foreign guests
Foreign friends are naturally interested in exotic gifts. May wish to send some China specialties, such as Tang Sancai, silk scarves, cloisonne, Huishan clay figurines and Longjing tea, to please them.
Gift-giving is an art and fruity. If you want to have a good relationship, you should give the right gift at the right time, so that the friendship brought by the gift can gently fall into the "heart" of others and arouse feelings.
