It’s amazing how well received a simple “thank you” note and gift can go. Studies shows that clients spend more and come back for repeat business if they are “feeling the love” from a simple act of gratitude by thanking them for their business. Think of how special you feel when you have a vendor express their appreciation for your business. It doesn’t have to be complicated. A nice hand-written note, a gift card (which can be printed and mailed in the card) etc. Simply saying “thank you” just doesn’t feel like enough for some of your best clients and customers. Consider a universal gift card that can be used for their business or personal needs…. like an amazon gift card.
Some other great ideas are:
- Invite them for a cup of coffee or lunch.
- Invite them to an industry event
- Offer a discount or coupon for a future service
- Refer a customer to their business
- Spend quality time together at a sporting event, golf etc.
Here is a great idea for a generic yet well received “thank you” gift. An Amazon gift card can be purchased, printed and placed in a hand-written thank you note. Your new client can use their thank you gift for business or pleasure!
