Creative Client Holiday Gift Idea

Posted by Anonymous on 11/5/2009 at 11:24 AM ET 125 Points
Hello Everyone! We have a small design firm. Business is way down as compared to previous years. However, we would still like to do something special for our Clients for the holidays. Many have been with us since we opened out doors 11 years ago. We can't spend a lot of $ but we'd like to do something to show them how much we appreciate them. Our Clients are scattered throughout the country, so a social gathering would not work.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

    How about giving your clients a bamboo plant to thank them for their business and wish them luck in the year to come. They are a nice eco-friendly gift (which many people are really into right now) that is not too expensive to purchase, light to ship, and if you choose one with a logoed pot, it's a great way to get your brand a piece of prime real estate on your customers' desks.

    Another big hot spot in promotional items right now is health related products - anti-microbial products and hand sanitizers. You could send a gift to "wish a happy healthy New Year" to your clients with small gifts like these:
    Sanitizer Pen: https://teamworld.logomall.com/ProductDetail/ProductDetail.aspx?id=7524009&...
    Sanitizer Pump: https://teamworld.logomall.com/ProductDetail/ProductDetail.aspx?id=7415061&...
    Gift Set (including sanitizer): https://teamworld.logomall.com/ProductDetail/ProductDetail.aspx?id=7419875&...

    These are just a few quick ideas. Of course things like the quantity you plan to send, a price range you have in mind, types of customers you have, etc. would help to make more specific suggestions. Feel free to contact me through my profile if you would like to discuss your project in more depth.

    Hope this helps!

    Donate money to charities that they select. That makes it personally rewarding for each of your clients and everyone wins.

    My clients have loved the Ribbon gift cards we have sent them. We choose how much to spend on each client and they get to choose their own gift from a catalogue. They have different collections that fit pretty much any occasion. Prices range from $30 up to $1000. I've even found myself giving them to friends and family. Always a big hit.

    All great ideas; but since so many cos are eliminating and/or cutting costs for their own holiday parties, consider sending high-quality edible gifts (fruit and/or cookie bouquets, cakes) with a note indicating it is from your company to theirs--for all of their employees to enjoy. If the companies have multiple locations, you might have to decide which one(s) will get the goodies!

    Best,
