Corporate gifting isn’t just about saying “thank you.” It’s a proven business strategy that creates lasting connections, improves retention, and keeps your brand in the spotlight.
Think about the last corporate gift you received. Chances are it was a wine basket that disappeared over the weekend, a brownie tray gone by Monday, or a cheese platter that ended up abandoned in the office kitchen. The problem with these “one-and-done” corporate gifts is simple: they vanish quickly, and so does the goodwill that came with them.
Sweet Trolley is different.We’ve reinvented the idea of corporate gifting with our personalized candy jars — a unique combination of nostalgia, joy, and brand visibility that makes your gift unforgettable.

The ROI of Sweet Gifting
Companies often ask: “Is candy really a high-value corporate gift?”
Here’s the truth: it’s not about the monetary value — it’s about the emotional impact and frequency of impressions.
- A $100 wine basket = 2 days of visibility.
- A $160 Sweet Trolley jar = 180 days of daily impressions + emotional engagement + refill potential.
That’s countless brand touchpoints for the same price — with measurable impact on retention, morale, and brand recall.
According to a 2023 Coresight Research study, 80% of companies reported that corporate gifting improved client relationships and retention rates(Coresight Research, “Corporate Gifting Market Report 2023”).
