The best season for giving company logo knives to your customers is Christmas. At least, that’s the busiest season for knife-giving. But there are a few reasons for other seasons to be the best choice.
Spring seams to be the best season to give pocket knives to farmers and others in the agriculture business. That’s when farmers buy seed and fertilizer, and equipment. The dealers take advantage of that time to give appreciation in the form of gifts. Company logo knives make the perfect gifts.
Summer is the season for everyone to receive a generous gift like a knife. Purchases of all sorts of things increases as the temperature rises.
Fall is for the hunters. If your customers hunt, they would appreciate a good hunting knife or pocket knife. They need to use a knife to field dress the larger animals.
Any season is a good season for giving company logo knives. It really depends on what market your clients are in. Plan ahead, because inventory can be a problem any time of year, especially Christmas.
