Did You Know? Appreciation-Driven Branding Boosts Retention

Did you know? According to a recent PPAI survey, 69% of employees would stay longer with a company that shows appreciation for their work. Recognition isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a strategic investment in retention, morale, and company culture.

At IMS Branded Solutions, we believe promotional products are more than giveaways—they’re powerful tools to strengthen culture, engage employees, and attract top talent. When used strategically in onboarding and appreciation programs, branded items help transform ordinary moments into meaningful experiences.

Consider these products - ready to handle any branding challenge.

Onboarding That Makes an Impression

Starting a new job can be overwhelming, but a thoughtfully curated onboarding swag bag sets the tone from day one. Imagine your new team member opening a kit filled with:

  • A soft, logoed hoodie or quarter-zip to wear with pride.
  • A sleek branded notebook and pen for training notes.
  • A reusable water bottle or tumbler for daily use.
  • A tech accessory like wireless earbuds or a phone stand.

These items make training days feel less intimidating and more inspiring, helping employees feel like they belong from the start.


Appreciation That Lasts

Retention isn’t about one-time gestures—it’s about consistent recognition. Milestone anniversaries, promotions, project successes, or simply a “thank you” can be elevated with branded gifts that carry everyday utility. Think:

  • Premium drinkware that travels from office to home.
  • Desk essentials like wireless chargers or organizers.
  • Seasonal apparel employees will actually wear.
  • Wellness items such as yoga mats, blankets, or self-care kits.

Each thoughtful gift reinforces your company’s commitment to its people—building loyalty one impactful item at a time.

Why It Matters

Appreciation is a cornerstone of company culture. When employees feel valued, they stay longer, perform better, and become brand ambassadors both inside and outside of the workplace. That’s a win for retention, morale, and recruitment.

By making onboarding and recognition memorable with branded products, your business sends a clear message: “We see you. We value you. We’re glad you’re here.”
