Last December, Rachel, a marketing manager in St.Petersburg, needed a thoughtful, memorable gift to thank three major clients. Gift cards felt impersonal. Branded pens and mugs? Forgettable. Then she heard about local charcuterie boards and discovered My SmorgasBoard.
She ordered three vibrant, hand-crafted boards. Just two days later, all three clients called her—grateful, delighted, and posting about their gifts on social media. Rachel's gesture didn’t just satisfy her clients; it elevated her brand.
And Rachel's not alone. From downtown Tampa to Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, small and mid-sized businesses are embracing charcuterie as the go-to option for corporate gifting.
What Is Charcuterie and Why Is It a Standout Gift?
Charcuterie is more than just cheese and meat. It’s an artfully arranged spread of cheeses, cured meats, seasonal fruits, nuts, crackers, and treats. It’s colorful, shareable, and a delightful surprise.
Why It Works:
-
Unique & Memorable: Breaks away from boring or predictable gifts
-
Shareable: Encourages communal enjoyment in team settings
-
Beautifully Packaged: Instagram-worthy presentation with a "wow" factor
-
Locally Crafted: Supports small businesses and adds that hometown charm
A recent 2024 Zippia report shows $242 billion is spent annually on corporate gifts in the U.S., and more than 50% of employees say that a personal gift boosts their feelings of appreciation.
In fast-paced workplaces, a gift that feels thoughtful and personal truly stands out.
