1. Basic overview of the gift industry

Gifts are also called gifts. Usually it is an object that people give to each other. The purpose is to please the other party, or to express kindness and respect. Gifts are also used to celebrate holidays or important days, such as Valentine's Day roses or birthday gifts. Gifts can also be immaterial. In ancient China, there was a saying that "giving goose feathers thousands of miles away is less favorable to the gift", which means that the value of the gift lies in the kindness and intention of the gift, rather than the value of the gift itself. Gifts include textile products, leather goods, luggage, handicrafts, small household appliances, home furnishings, stationery and office supplies, promotional products and other categories. Among them, there are both traditional gift categories and rapid development and emerging new gift categories.

Etiquette originated from sacrificial activities in ancient times. During sacrifices, in addition to expressing respect and awe to God with standardized actions and pious attitudes, people also devote their most valuable and most respectful items (that is, sacrifices of cattle, sheep, etc.) to the gods. Perhaps from then on, the meaning of etiquette began to have material components, and etiquette can appear in the form of "things", that is, gifts. Looking at the development of the gift industry, it can be summarized into the following stages:

4. Challenges faced by the gift industry

The development of the gift industry faces many challenges. Its large-scale production and sales make the phenomenon of homogeneity very serious, and traditional monotonous products are already difficult to meet the needs of consumers.After years of development, the gift industry has entered a buyer-led period. What has troubled the development of enterprises is no longer how to expand production capacity, but how to add new product types to the market with serious homogeneity, attract customers' attention, thereby gaining consumer recognition and promoting product sales. In addition, brand marketing is also an issue that companies need to pay attention to and improve. Many companies do not have a strong brand awareness in their operations, so how to improve their brand image with high-quality products and services, how to develop high-end products, and attract customers is also a major challenge in the current development process of the gift industry.
