With a wide range of products perfect for gifting including vouchers, wine and over 30,000 products at Qantas Marketplace, why not use points to say thanks to your team, clients or suppliers and save your business’ budget.
The strength of small business lies in the close personal relationships you can develop with your team, clients and suppliers, which is why expressing your appreciation and gratitude during the festive season is so important.
Not only is end-of-year gift-giving an opportunity to deepen your customer relationships, it’s also a good chance to do a little subtle self-promotion, to keep your business top of mind. To really be effective, a good gift should be personal and creative.
Keep your business top of your client’s mind next time an opportunity rolls around by looking for something that reflects your company culture – it could be fitness-themed or outdoorsyOpens in a new tab or window, or even a charitable donation on their behalfOpens in a new tab or window, for example. With over 30,000 different products available to use points on at Qantas Marketplace, you’ll find plenty of thought-starters.
While you’re at it, giving thanks to your suppliers is a similarly business-savvy strategy, because a supplier who feels appreciated and valued is more likely to want to go above and beyond for you in return. It’s hard to imagine how you could go wrong with some gourmet food or fine wineOpens in a new tab or window, but the important thing to remember is a gift of any size on top of the business you’re already giving them is again about deepening that personal connection, making your relationship more than just a business transaction.

Appreciative leaders are appreciated leaders, and a heartfelt token of thanks this festive season will help show your team that you are genuinely grateful for what they do. This in turn helps to provide employees with a sense of accomplishment that is so much more meaningful than money.
So just like for your clients and suppliers, a little extra thought into employee gift-giving can go a long way. Of course, as busy business owners the last thing you need is more tasks on your to-do list, but you don’t need to go to great effort or expense with all those great gift ideas already available for you at Qantas Marketplace, or on Qantas WineOpens in a new tab or window.
Think of it as another opportunity to reinforce your company culture while building up morale – whether it’s noise-cancelling headphonesOpens in a new tab or window for employees who love to get in the zone, something for their familyOpens in a new tab or window, or a Gift card or voucherOpens in a new tab or window for their favourite store.
If you've got more points to use, why not look into a booking at a relaxing retreat through Qantas Hotels for a super special gesture.
Plus, for the first time you can now book selected Australian stays through Qantas Hotels with a minimum 20% deposit, paid in cash or using Qantas Points, or a combination of both. Then you’ll pay the balance closer to the date of your stay, with free cancellation before the final deposit is due.^
Big or small, it doesn’t really matter – the important thing is that you’re expressing thanks for everything your staff, suppliers and clients do, because the bottom line is you wouldn’t be operational without them.
So this festive season let the people who keep your business booming know how much you value them using the points earned through Qantas Business Rewards. Because everyone likes being rewarded.
