Introduction: Beyond Corporate Gifts

Typically, corporate gifts go unused and forgotten. However, a professional portrait does not fit that bill — professional portraits are timeless, personable, and deeply special.

At Helios Event Productions, we value the emotional value connected to the gift. That’s why we have arranged for professional family and individual portrait shoots as part of a corporate event, leaving attendees with a gift that they will truly cherish for life.

Why Portraits Matter

Professional portraits create:

Emotional Connection – Recognizes employees beyond their professional duties.
Pride & Loyalty– A portrait framed at home reminds them of their accomplishments and connection to the company.
Longevity– Compared to gifts that go bad, a portrait lasts forever.

Case Example: Dealer Meet Event

Five years ago, Helios Event Productions organized a studio styled photoshoot of the top dealers of a corporate client and every portrait was framed and gifted to them. Five years later, the dealers still display the portraits proudly as part of their most treasured possessions – evidence that gifts do not have to be extravagant to last forever.

How to Execute It Successfully

Provide Family Portraits for employees or partners.

Include some Branding on the back of photo frames or gift packaging.

Additional Ideas
