The Corporate Gifting Playbook
An award-winning guide to strategic corporate gifting that shows how creating value first can build trust, strengthen relationships, and open the door to loyalty, referrals, retention, and long-term business growth.
About The Book
The Corporate Gifting Playbook is about more than corporate gifts. It is about what can happen when businesses create value first.
Thoughtful, intentional gifting gives organizations an opportunity to provide value before asking for a sale, referral, meeting, or continued loyalty. That value can help build trust. Trust strengthens relationships. And strong relationships can open doors to opportunities that otherwise may never have existed.
Through a year-long real-world experiment, award-winning author Dom LeRoux explores how strategic corporate gifting can help businesses attract and engage prospects, strengthen customer relationships, increase retention and loyalty, improve employee engagement, and create measurable business growth.
Far beyond branded pens and forgettable promotional swag, The Corporate Gifting Playbook provides practical strategies for turning generosity into meaningful human connection and relationship-driven business growth.

Create Value First
At the heart of The Corporate Gifting Playbook is a simple idea: create value before asking for anything in return.
A thoughtful gift can create a meaningful moment, build trust, strengthen a relationship, and open the door to new opportunities.
That is what makes strategic gifting more than a transaction. When done with genuine intention, it becomes a way to show appreciation, create connection, and build relationships that can lead to loyalty, referrals, new conversations, and long-term business growth.
Create Value First → Build Trust → Strengthen Relationships → Create Opportunity
