How can you reduce churn while demonstrating to your clients how much you value their patronage? The answer is gifted, of course, in addition to a terrific product and first-rate customer service. Here are a few Christmas gifts for clients to keep you in their minds all year long if you're feeling stuck for gift suggestions.
1. Terrarium or succulent garden
These chic desk accents make your clients' days happier and serve as a reminder of the progress you may make together. Succulents and air plants also don't need a lot of water or care, making things simple for years to come. Want to simplify things even more? Purchase a convincing fake arrangement similar to the one shown above.
2. Notebook
I’m not suggesting you send clients a stack of the company-branded Post-its heaped five feet high in your supply closet. Create classy leather-bound notebooks with a modest logo printed on the front cover or in the colors of your business.
3. Coffee or tea blends
Who enjoys the coffee in the break room? Even if that gallon of Folgers from five years ago could work in a pinch, sending a premium basket filled with specialty coffees or flavored teas will make you the office hero. Do you want to add some local flavor to this gift? Create your package of locally roasted coffee beans, and purchase the greatest teas the city has to offer.
4. Calendar
Use indie artists on Etsy to find one-of-a-kind calendars that clients won't find at their upcoming industry conference, or have company-branded calendars made by corporate professionals like SmartPress. If you're downloading a calendar design, take the file to your neighborhood printer and have copies made on premium paper for a striking appearance.
5. Coffee table book
Look for books that discuss the city, state, business, or hobbies of your client. A customised message inside a book that they'll proudly display on their desk or in the office sitting area will make your name memorable for years to come.
6. Toiletry bag
Have a customer who travels a lot? Send them a bag of toiletries that they may use right away. Monogramming is always a good option, particularly for items used for travel. And choose waterproof, leather, or canvas materials for a bag they'll always like.
7. Gourmet food basket
You don't want to send another basket filled to the brim with vacuum-sealed sausages and cheese logs. Thank you. The traditional gourmet food basket is being given fresh life by several businesses. Always remember to inquire about the clients' dietary restrictions so you can send appropriate gluten-free and vegan options.
8. Portable phone charger or charging dock
For clients who are constantly on the road, portable phone chargers or charging stations make excellent gifts.
9. K-Cup coffee sampler
Recognize your client owns a Keurig in their house or place of business? Send them a sampler of K-Cups so they can sample them all. Every time they sip from a freshly brewed cup, they'll undoubtedly remember you with gratitude.
10. Kindle
Whether your client commutes a considerable distance every day or spends weeks traveling, an e-reader like the Kindle will be a pleasant distraction.
11. A water bottle they won’t throw away
We all have more leaky water bottles and unnecessary fruit infusers than we know what to do with, let's face it. However, nothing beats getting a water bottle that you'll use. Think about a premium Camelbak or S'well alternative with your company's branding.
12. Online classes
Donate the gift of knowledge! Give your client an experience they'll never forget rather than some fast nibbles or trinkets. Think about giving them a gift certificate to a virtual classroom where they may spend some time developing their culinary, photographic, or software development talents.
13. BarkBox
If one of your clients has a dog as a closest friend, you might want to consider a BarkBox membership. This business will send treat boxes for cats or dogs right to their door throughout various subscription periods.
14. Better swag
Company t-shirts that you provide to clients are probably going to end up at their neighborhood thrift store. Invest in stylish apparel and accessories with subtly branded products that people will truly want to wear.
15. A charity donation
If a material gift isn't appropriate, donate money to a worthy cause in your client's name and let them know what it will accomplish. It's a thoughtful act that expresses your company's ideals and respects theirs.
16. Beer brewing kit
Allow the beer connoisseurs on your customer list to create their own concoctions. And up the ante by sending a set of pint glasses with the company logo.
17. Gift cards for restaurants
Find out which restaurants in your customer's neighborhood are the hottest new ones, or ask them which hotspots they'd want to explore, and give them a gift card. It enables people to unwind while enjoying a good lunch, and before dessert, your name is certain to be spoken.
18. Bakery delivery
Is there anything better than receiving a surprise gift of freshly baked treats at the office? That was meant to be rhetorical. Send the crew some tasty pastries or doughnuts from your neighborhood.
19. Cook’s basket
If your customer enjoys creating gourmet dishes on the weekends, choose a cookbook and a few non-perishable ingredients to use for the featured recipe. Choose a ready-made basket from Williams Sonoma or Gourmet Gift Baskets for a more impressive variant on this gift.
20. Catered Lunch
Everyone loves a good burrito or sandwich bar. Just be sure to include some cookies for good measure. This doesn't have to be an expensive catered lunch.
21. Custom golf balls & tees
If your clientele does the majority of their business on the golf course, think about creating personalized balls or tees with your logo on them. Invite them to join you for a round if you live nearby.
22. Headphones
A quality set of headphones is essential in today's open office environment. Give your customers a set, and they'll be grateful to you every time they use them to block out their chatty coworkers.
23. A handwritten note
Always send a card when in doubt. A handwritten or unique greeting should always be included with your gift. After all, does anyone actually hear a corporate gift box fall in the woods without a note?
24. Self-Heating Mug
This gift is perfect for the tea or coffee lover who works from home. Using this clever mug, you can ensure that your drinks are always at the right temperature and never excessively hot or cold.
25. Personalized Stickers
People will stick stickers on practically anything, from a fridge to notebooks, a work station, a laptop, a water bottle, a phone case, a car, or even a book. This includes your clients. Now picture them seated in a coffee shop with their laptops. The sticker will undoubtedly attract people's attention and can even spark interesting conversations between your clients and other shop patrons.
When given as a gift, a personalized sticker can stand in for many different things. A sticker could express gratitude for their being your first customer, for being a wonderful customer, for inspiring the client who receives it, or for celebrating a recent success or excellent news. What's best? They move freely and constantly.
26. Fun Advent Calendars
For the end-of-year holidays, if you're proactive enough, you could want to think about sending your customer an amusing advent calendar.
Because they are reminded daily of your friendship and business partnership, advent calendars make wonderful client gifts. You're expressing "thank you" for their patronage with each new surprise.
27. Personalized Enamel Pins
Enamel pins are the ideal option to mass modify and personalize if you have a lot of customers to thank or visit. They may also be used as freebies.
In addition to being a fantastic client pin, it can be personalized with artwork in a variety of sizes and forms. You could even print your clients' logos on the lapel pins. For instance, if you open an ice cream shop, you might create ice cream enamel pins and distribute them to your devoted customers as a way of saying thank you. If you own a biker shop, you can create amusing biking pins to express your gratitude for their patronage.
28. Desk Blossom Kits
Because they are the perfect size for your customer's desk and each one has a motivating message, these delightful plants are fun client gifts.
This is not only a wonderful client gift in the here and now, but as the plant develops on their desk or in their house, your clients will keep in mind your generosity and remain top-of-mind. The goal was achieved.
29. Fruit & Nuts Gift Baskets
A high-quality nut or fruit basket makes a great client gift, of course. Oh! There are so many nuts, dried fruit, honey sticks, chocolate-covered pastries, and honey sticks. There are many fantastic client gifts available from Nuts. Any of the choices will undoubtedly wow your clients and add class to any occasion.
If you choose to go with a more conventional nut or fruit tray, consider getting them something more unusual, like the above-mentioned entertaining tray that transforms into a fruit basket, which they can keep in their workplace break area all year long.
