Digital Publication Subscription
If we’re on the topic of subscriptions, then we have to cover digital publications too!
Magazine subscriptions may not be as popular as they once were, but many renowned publications have adapted and are offering online/digital subscriptions to their content via their websites.
Digital enthusiasts are sure to find some great use out of a subscription to:
AirPods
Client calls, phone conferences, or just plain listening to podcasts. It’s important you do it in style with all the functionality that these can offer. AirPods allow you to be hands-free and keep your head in the game. Whether you’re shoulders deep in client work or RFP’s, or you just need some you-time while on your lunch break, AirPods are the perfect and stylish addition to your bag, briefcase or purse!
Portable Powerbank
Powerbank has to be one of the greatest inventions. As a digital marketer, we are always on the phone. Whether it’s staying on top of the SEO news, current marketing trends and all of our client social media work, so there is no wonder that our phone battery is always low. The solution is simple. It’s a phone power bank. Firstly, it’s perfect for when you’re on-the-go or even when you’re at the office and forgot your charger at home! Furthermore, these devices ensure that you never lose your battery life or your digital connection!
Notebook/Organiser
Let’s take it to the old good days, where we weren’t fully dependable on our smart devices. The notebook/organiser is the perfect accessory to bring to client meetings! Moreover, having your notebook is always handy if you decide to sketch down all of your ideas, thoughts and important information. You can even get them branded for your Agency or job with a logo or a special design.
Blue Light Glasses
We’re staring at screens all day, every day – and that causes us to experience excessive exposure to blue light and artificial light.
That excess exposure makes your eyes tired, blurry, dry and irritated, but there’s a simple solution: blue light blocking glasses. In addition, blue light glasses will make reading SEO and digital marketing updates so much easier and fun without having to apply eye droplets for tired eyes. It’s a perfect gift for any freelancer or anyone working in an office.
Their next favourite book
There are so many wonderful ways to learn these days, but sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics with a book. Grab your digital marketer or another professional one of the newest marketing, sales, or leadership reads.
Some of the books that we can recommend:
Tools of Titans – by Tim Ferris
Hyper Focus – by Chris Bailey
They Ask, You Answer – by Marcus Sheridan
99U Essays: Manage Your Day-to-Day – With an average 4.4-star rating on Amazon, this book offers concrete ideas for getting more out of your daily routine and finding the right moments for creative, complex work.
Motivational Print
Everyone has days where our motivation and creativity is at it’s low. Therefore, a little piece of encouragement goes a long way! In addition to looking great in the office, it will serve its purpose in adding that extra bit of motivation to your otherwise dull workspace. If you’re ever in our Vindicta office for an SEO audit or one-on-one consultation, you will notice that we are all fans of motivational prints. Our favourite one is: “I think it is possible for ordinary people ton to choose to be extraordinary “ by Elon Musk and of course the all-time classic ” Work Super Hard”
Coffee eGift Card
No surprise in our fully digitalized world, you can gift coffee via eGift Card. Add a personal message, specify the amount, email address, and hit “send.” It’s a perfect perk for co-workers needing an extra morning boost before tackling an SEO audit. This modern twist on gifting complements the digital landscape, delivering thoughtful motivation right to their inboxes, a gesture sure to invigorate their workday.
Where to get it: Starbucks
Cost: Buyer’s choice
Amazon Echo / Google Home
Another perfect gift for tech-savvy professionals.
Voice search statistics reveal that every month there are one billion searches made by voice.
Fascinating, is it not? Voice search is the future of online marketing. If your business is not optimized for voice searches, you cannot expect to reach your audience and achieve its growth targets. Data shows that more people are buying smart speakers for their homes, make it an ideal gift and let the receiver practise their website optimisation.
Digital Marketing Consulting
Lastly but more importantly Digital Marketing Consulting. This one is the most ideal gifts for a business owner or your fellow co-worker wanting to enhance their business and become open to new digital solutions. At Vindicta Digital, we offer one-on-one consulting sessions, that include:
- Growth Hacking
