Every year, companies spend significant budgets on corporate gifts meant to show appreciation or strengthen relationships.

But most of these gifts — fruit baskets, chocolates, boxed assortments — disappear within 24 hours.

They make a momentary impression.

Then they’re gone.

At elo works, we believe corporate gifting should last longer than the wrapping. And the companies we serve are learning a simple truth:

A well-made branded hoodie creates more loyalty than any consumable gift ever will.

Here’s why.

1. A Fruit Basket Is Consumed. A Hoodie Is Worn.

A fruit basket offers a pleasant surprise.

A hoodie becomes part of someone’s routine.

When your employees or clients wear your branded apparel weekly — to the office, home, gym, or travel — your brand stays with them. It becomes a part of their identity and daily comfort.

Corporate gifting works when it becomes a relationship, not a transaction.

2. Apparel Extends Your Brand Without Saying a Word

A premium hoodie with clean embroidery does something a food basket cannot:

✔ Reinforces brand pride

✔ Builds unity

✔ Turns team members into ambassadors

✔ Signals professionalism to anyone who sees it

Every time the hoodie is worn, your brand earns attention, trust, and recall — silently.

3. High-Quality Apparel Shows You Care About Details

People can feel the difference between promotional merch and premium apparel.

When a hoodie is soft, well-stitched, and fits perfectly, it sends a message:

“We invest in quality — because we value you.”

That message is remembered long after the gift is given.

4. Hoodies Strengthen Internal Culture

Employees love clothing that:

  • Looks good
  • Fits well
  • Feels premium
  • Carries their company’s identity

It builds belonging.

It boosts morale.

It reinforces pride.

A fruit basket cannot do this.

5. Corporate Apparel Has the Highest Retention Value

We know from experience:

Hoodies, polos, tees, and jackets remain in use for years.

Even companies that ordered from us two years ago tell us their teams still wear our hoodies weekly.

That’s the level of long-term visibility and loyalty your brand deserves.
