Our Favorite Ways to Show Client Appreciation
Your customers are the cornerstone of your business, so why not show them how much you appreciate them? Expressing your gratitude with memorable and ongoing customer appreciation can boost your business! We know which client gift ideas seem most sincere, and with Thanksgiving approaching, these thoughtful ideas to thank your clients and customers will help get you started!
Why should you show your appreciation?
Don’t direct all of your resources into getting new customers if you aren’t taking care of your current ones. Did you know It is anywhere from 5 to 25 times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to keep a current one?
How you treat your customers is a direct reflection of your brand values and 91% of people said they are also more likely to do business with companies that actively show appreciation for their customers.
Think Outside Branded Coupons and Discounts
Looking for client gift ideas that will make a personal impression? Don’t just say thank you. Give them thanks. Handwritten notes are a powerful and personal way to send a message to a customer to thank them for doing business with your company.
When Donors Choose (a platform that allows givers to fund the public school classroom projects of their choice) sent handwritten thank-you notes to half of all recent first-time donors, 38% of people who received a thank-you note were more likely to give again than those who didn’t receive one. The organization now works handwritten thank-you notes into their business model, since recipients increase their average annual donation amount by $41, translating to more than $3 million in additional annual donations.

Send a Personalized Gift
Everyone enjoys getting a personalized gift; what makes your customers any different? If you want to express your gratitude with a gift, go beyond the ordinary and think outside the business box to reach them in an emotional and personal way, not just a professional one.

Treat Them to a Coffee Date
When you know you’ll be traveling to an area where your customer lives or works, then look them up and offer to get together for a coffee. If you can’t make it in person, send them a gift card to a local coffee spot with a personal note saying something like: “Just wanted to say thanks again for being such a loyal customer and friend. Have a coffee (or two) on me!”
If you looking for client gift ideas that will really blow them away, try sending the coffee directly to their house or business! Keep your branding message as hot as the coffee brewed with fresh ground Colombian beans. The perfect way to show client appreciation from your brand!
