What distinguishes a good business gift from a bad one? Where it ends up after you open it.

According to a survey of 158 b-to-b marketing leaders released late last year by Forrester Consulting and direct-mail marketing firm PFL, 81% say they are very likely to open a package that arrives for them at work.

Meanwhile San Francisco-based b-to-b gift sending platform Sendoso found that while 96% of company decision makers felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of people trying to get their attention, 79% said receiving a gift from a vendor influenced their decision to take a meeting.

Direct mail is a part of that gifting process.
