Gifts for Clients at this Time of the Year.

[sam816]

Do you gift at all? what are some of the gift ideas you can share? In AZ the limit is set at $10.

TIA.

Why bother? The gifts, along with your clients, will all die in the inferno on Friday, 12/21/12.

Moving right along... the gift ideally would be something that fits for the individual. If they love Starbucks, a $10 gift card works. If you know they don't drink coffee, not a great gift.

Another thought is that an INDIVIDUALIZED written note or even email that they know from reading it that it wasn't the same exact note you sent to 200 other people can be a nice touch.

But... don't send a Posty Card or promo item like a coffee mug with your name and logo on it and call it a gift. That's a promotion, not a gift.

I give out free life insurance quotes. Usually I charge for this.

After years of making nice gift baskets for our larger Group clients, we donate to the American Cancer Society on the Group's behalf. The gift baskets were never appreciated but the donations seem to go over well.

We make a donation to the Human Fund on behalf of our customers.
