Giving gifts to your clients is a great way to say "thanks for your business."
Giving gifts to your clients is a great way to say thank-you for a big project or as a general acknowledgement of their business at the holidays. It is also an effective way to keep your company in their thoughts and, in some cases, directly in their hands. Whether you chose to personalize a practical object to give clients, or to present them with an item unique to your business or locale, there are many options for purchasing such gifts.
Online Promotional Websites
The Internet is filled with companies that specialize in promotional gifts for business clients. These sites are especially cost effective when purchasing a large quantity of gifts. Your logo, slogan and contact information can be imprinted on such items as portable computer drives, key chains, mouse pads and various other objects that your clients can use every day. Do a search for "promotional gifts" to locate these companies.
Local Stores and Boutiques
A thoughtful and relevant gift for clients is an item, or perhaps a basket of items, unique to your region. Visit local boutiques for unique items that represent your region, relate to your business or can be personalized for your clients. Send your clients a gift basket of local food specialties. If your business is located near a well-known golf course, purchase golf balls from them with their logo and yours imprinted on them. Send wine from local vineyards. It's also good for your business to patronize local businesses.
Vendors
If you already deal with a printer for your general business needs, you have a reliable vendor for promotional gifts. Have the printer create note pads with your client's logo or "From the Desk of" followed by his name. "Courtesy of" your business name can be printed in small type at the bottom of the pad. Wall, desk or pocket calendars are a gift that clients can use all year long. Have your printer create them using photos of your products or local landmarks. Use a graphic vendor for an item like a personalized luggage tag.
Nationally-Known Companies
A gift from a nationally-recognized corporation projects a sense of stability. A solid piece of luggage for clients who travel is useful and thoughtful. A high-end writing too is a gift your client can use everyday. Some companies will engrave the pens or mechanical pencils for you.
Restaurants
Gift certificates to restaurants are a welcome gift for anyone, and your clients are no different. Some chain restaurants offer additional gift cards for free when you purchase a certain amount, especially around the holidays. If a client has a favorite restaurant that is not a franchise, call the eatery to see if they sell gift cards or certificates. The personal nature and extra effort of the gift will impress your client.
