If you have an event coming up that needs a gift (big or small) you can make the gift more memorable when you choose a personalized gift. In fact, many big events (corporate events or golf events or some other charitable gala) often give out personalized gifts. They do that for their big sponsors because they know that a personalized gift makes a bigger impact.
Often businesses need special gifts. Once a year they may send their top clients a personalized or engraved business gift which the year and their company name clearly visible. This ends up being a bit of advertising as if the gift is nice, it will be kept, used and possibly even on display for the gift recipient and others to see and be impacted by.
