We have exported to almost all continents except South America and to 23 countries as India is very strong with labour intensive promotional products. Many strong promotional gift companies regularly buy from us their gifting requirements which we ship to all over the world on their behalf. India also imports many promotional goods from China but these are items which are machine made and require very large quantities manufactured at huge volumes to cater to the whole world. These items China has an edge and Indian companies too prefer to import from China due to better price and good finish at different price points. But the moment the items become labour intensive India has an edge over China and even the regular international gift buyers of China prefer to buy from India to save on overall cost. Again, China speaks the language of large numbers only and due to unique Indian set up all orders including small, medium and large can be catered at attractive prices.

In India the festival starts from Ganesh Chaturthi and continues up to the beginning of New calendar year! Companies fixed a particular festival for distributing gifts depending on their roots, locations and client base to celebrate the joys of the festival. In eastern India Durga puja is the main festival whereas in Kerala the same turns into Onam during August or September depending on the calendar. However, in Eastern India Holi is also the occasion when companies distribute festival gifts. Now a day we get good enquiries from all companies for celebration of Id and Ramazan too proving awareness and further creation of a united face of India. In Karnataka most of the companies prefer to gift to employees during Ayudha Pooja which also coincides with Durga Puja. Diwali/Deepavali is celebrated all over India but Hindi belt prefers to give gifts around this occasion and is spread all over Indian states.
The gifts are mainly given to corporate employees, customers, associates and well-wishers! Earlier practice of distributing traditional sweets has changed into new practice of dark Belgian chocolates due to multiple factors. Presentation, heightened acceptance and consumption of chocolates over a prolonged period of time due to longer shelf life of the product has increased the demand and distribution of the product.
Another exciting factor is that you can decide on various combinations to arrive at the various budgets for different set of receivers to maintain the uniformity of gifts but at various price points. The shape, taste, size and contents can be changed as per the taste of the recipients. Even the packaging and wrapper can be designed to get the maximum mileage out of the branding and awareness creating activities.

It started exactly 52 weeks ago i.e. almost one year back during last August 2015. After contemplating and even using the services of a professional content writer for some time that sounded like some other company in a business other than corporate gifts and not making much of sense to readers or in the growth of our business decided to write blog myself. By nature, one always try to buy things through money from experts and not realising that content experts also needs to be well versed with nitty gritty of your business. My language and expressions may not be great but the kind of feedback I get on my blog is enough to excite me to write for the remaining weeks of my life.
I have completed 52 blogs taking this one in account and this should have been published last week on Aug, 2016 but I’m more than one week late. The credit for one year of continuous blogging goes to the founder and chairman of BNI – the world’s largest referral organisation operating in over 60 Countries, Dr. Ivan Misner.
When we receive a gift from our business associates our first reaction is of pleasant surprise and keeping this insight and experience in mind long back we decided on our logo with the following tagline Sparket Corporate Gifts for Pleasant Surprises.
Over the years this slogan has become our promise to all our employees, consumers, customers, partners, vendors and all other related business associates. We have been asking this question whenever we are confused or at the crossroads to determine the next course of action for all of us at Sparket. It can be with respect to either pricing, deliveries, promises and even deciding whether to pick up the order at the given prices or to say no as the overall experience at the end must be great for all involved. To the best of our abilities and with the given business limitation we try to live up to the promise of for pleasant surprises.
