Here's the uncomfortable truth about corporate gifts: a cheap gift doesn't just fail — it actively damages the relationship. It tells the customer "we spent 5 minutes and $10 on you."
Mooncakes are the perfect example. Everyone knows the real cost of that fancy box. The irony? The bank would have been better off sending nothing at all — silence doesn't offend anyone.
Genuine question for everyone here: if a company you're loyal to sent you a clearly budget gift, would you feel appreciated or quietly insulted? I think most people won't admit it's the second one.
Curious how it works in other countries — do banks in your region still send festival gifts, or has this tradition died?
