Some of these marketer gift ideas are serious, and some are simply funny. None of the gift ideas listed are cheap desk nick-nacks nobody in the office needs or wants. We made this article because way too many of the gifts for marketers listed online are cheap toys that should be immediately thrown out when a person gets home.
We may make a more serious list of gift ideas, but for now be entertained or take notes from the list below.
Gifts For Your Digital Marketer
Internet marketers, share this on your LinkedIn profile in the hopes that your boss sees these gifts and helps start the 2023 marketing year off with some excellent new tools, a larger team, and more ad budget!
1. The Gift Of A Larger Marketing Budget For Next Year
There can always be more. Just a bit more marketing budget can make the outlandish goals of different managers and sales teams seem a bit more realistic.
2. Coffee For Your Marketer
I mean, we all love it. This is the one everyone should purchase for their marketing team and the entire company. Receiving an excellent coffee in the morning puts a pep in anyone’s step (and a nap in the afternoon).
3. No Google Algorithm Updates For The Month Of December!
Google, I know you are reading this. I am going to submit this article to Google Search Console as soon as I publish it. Please take a break; no updates this month, please.
4. Give The Gift Of A Marketing Tool
An excellent gift that will equip your digital marketing team is the tools to do their job better or make their job more efficient. Consider getting some of the following marketing tools:
- Screaming Frog
- SEMrush
- AHrefs
- Moz
- Hubspot
- Canva
- Adobe Programs
- Whichever social media posting tool they’ve asked for every year (there are just too many to pick from)
5. Share Their Social Media Post
Share the social media promotion post they spent a lot of time on to promote a Christmas special. This will feel like a gift as their marketing reach expands and is more and more effective. Just like you are going to share this article.
6. Product-Led SEO by Eli Schwartz
Getting a digital marketer a book on marketing that has come out in the past year or two is a great gift idea. Product-Led SEO is an excellent piece that we highly recommend.
Side note, we’re a huge fan of Eli Schwartz‘s work and have read his book and LinkedIn posts with dedication. He did not pay for this mention or anything like that; we just like his book.
Side note, this book is perfect for an intermediate in SEO that wants to get a more well rounded understanding of it. For me, it wasn’t like I had any ground breaking revelations while reading it. I just enjoyed the presentation of the information.
7. Greenlight A TikTok Channel
The Marketing gift of a new platform to delve into is loved by marketers who enjoy their job. A good marketer likes to experiment, expand, and repurpose our marketing content and strategy. Believe it or not, TikTok will help your business grow.
8. Tell Them About Your New Product Earlier
Let them know about a new product rollout 3-6 months in advance instead of the day before. This one is kind of a joke. My apologies, but know that your marketer is salty with you if you do not communicate these things.
9. More Ad Budget
There can always be more. PPC can be the gift that keeps giving in your marketing. You just have to feed it.
10. Outsource The Marketing They Don’t Like
There are, at the minimum 6 different majors or focuses involved in a basic marketing team, and no marketer can be a professional at all of them. By outsourcing your SEO or Social Media marketing, you can have a happier digital marketer and more effective marketing in general.
11. Hire More Marketing Team Members
Hire more team members to specialize their focus to be more efficient and effective! This is similar to outsourcing but really is developing your business’s marketing team. We know it can be difficult to unify a marketing team but it is so valuable when you have a team of marketers working on different platforms and aspects of marketing to grow your business effectively.
12. More Copywriters
Just like ad spend, there can always be more content, more copy, more blog posts and more social posts. Content is the fuel to your marketing strategy. The more there is, the further it reaches.
13. Greenlight Their Podcast Idea
Give them the green light on their podcast idea. You will see your marketing team’s face light up when you give them this gift. When a platform is blowing up, it is exciting to get on board and create content for a platform that is exploding.
14. Tickets To A Marketing Event
Tickets To A Marketing Event (and pay them while they attend!):
- MozCon
- Growth Hackers
- State of Search
- Traffic And Conversion Summit
- And many more (there are some that are more local)
15. A Vacation
This is what every digital marketer really needs as a Christmas gift this year. Give them a vacation, and they will thank you!
