Holiday Gifts for Clients
0
What do you give your clients as holiday gifts? Here are a few things suggested by members of the Bay Area Consultants’ Network on November 19, 2004.
- Give out copies of your new book, or of relevant books by colleagues.
- Thanksgiving can be a better time than December—you don’t have to guess which holiday the client observes.
- Hire your mother, another relative, or a friend to make homemade jam (or cookies, or other goodies).
- Try sending New Year cards.
- Gifts that are useful are best.
- Make up your own holiday at another time of year and send clients gifts or cards then.
- Never send anything without a personal note.
- Send silly things to make you seem more approachable and less of a threat.
- Give donations in the names of the companies you consult for.
