Employee Caricatures: The Perfect Low-cost, Personable Gift For Corporate And Business Clients

Corporate and business clients have discovered that custom caricatures from photos are the perfect memorable and cost-effective gift for staff. Wary of another holiday turkey, employees are delighted to receive such a personable and fun gift. And companies are delighted with the low costs.

(PRWEB) November 10, 2005 -- Admin staff often faces a challenging task when looking for an appropriate gift for bosses, retirees and employees. With the holidays approaching, ideas circulate among administrative staff about what to give employees at the annual holiday party, as a token of thanks for all of the commitment and hard work. While a turkey is a nice gesture during the holidays, who really wants, or needs another turkey? Unless you are blessed with a second freezer in the garage, a turkey will surely displace your ice trays and waffles. How many of us have turkeys in the freezer from Christmas, 2001?

Savvy gift buyers have found a unique, cost-effective, and fun way to commemorate staff: custom caricatures from photos. We’ve all witnessed the skilled quick-draw artists at fairs and theme parks creating cartoon likenesses of anyone willing to take a seat for 5 minutes, and the giggling that ensues from delighted customers who have been immortalized with pen and ink. But you no longer need to visit Disneyland to get your caricature done. Caricature artists have set up shop on the internet, creating caricatures from your photographs via email. Why do businesses love them? They’re quick, cheap, more personable than a coffee mug, and people simply love receiving them. And, they are easily customized. For instance, office staff can adorn a caricature of a retiring co-worked with hand-written wishes and personal anecdotes. Another popular use is printed media and business cards.

Some artists provide digital renditions, while others ship the actual original art. Prices can vary greatly, from $30 to $100. With a little investigation however, it’s not hard to find a great deal. Peopletoons, for instance, offers 11” x 14” full-color caricatures that are inked and painted entirely by hand on heavy stock, for about 29 dollars. They also promote one of the fastest completion times we’ve found, with orders shipped in as little as 2 business days. The quality of the work is excellent. Their website is quirky and fun, and sports several samples. They also offer group discounts as high as 50% depending on the quantity, which is good news for tight office budgets.
