職場心經(jīng)

對于不同職位的人，送禮各有講究，只有懂得送禮的技巧，才能達到預先的效果，否則還會適得其反。以下是一些送禮的技巧，以供參考：

1．了解對方的品位。要知道送禮不是使自己高興，而是要讓別人開心。所以送禮前一定要先了解清楚對方的品位、喜好。

2．不可包含動機，應當盡量避免一些有影射性含義的禮物。

3．喜歡你送出的禮物。如果連你自己都不喜歡某種禮物，便不應該讓別人收到這種禮物。

4．根據(jù)受禮人的職業(yè)，選購較為實際的禮物。

5．衡量送禮的價值。禮物的價值應以你與收禮者的關系來衡量，以避免令雙方尷尬。

6．可送有代表意義的禮物。這類禮品往往更有特色，也更能在某個時刻喚起對方特定的回憶。
