Never underestimate the power of a well-timed gift. As a business owner, one of the best, most simple marketing tools is the humble promotional item – especially if it’s a client appreciation gift to express gratitude.
Whether it’s office essentials like stationery or a super-handy gift like a tote bag, at Captain Notepad we see firsthand how valuable gifts for customer and client appreciation can be. It’s all about making them smile and spreading the word about who you are – and why you’re such a caring brand.
Let’s look at the nine client appreciation gifts we know for sure 100% work: from real estate client appreciation gifts to special and unique ones.
Trust us; these are gifts that our clients have told us to do the trick nicely.
Why are client appreciation gifts so worthwhile?
There’s a psychology behind client gifting. Client appreciation gifts work with the same principles that gift receiving makes you feel respected, admired, and ultimately happier. You’ll improve your relationships with happier clients and strengthen your partnership with them.
We have four top reasons why client appreciation gifts are so important.
- Increase the likelihood of them sticking around.
If clients feel valued, they’re more likely to keep coming back to you. Any feelings of neglect or being undervalued may lead to them looking elsewhere for your services.
- Create a positive working culture.
A thoughtful gift or two goes a long way toward spreading joy. The more you keep in contact with them through random acts of kindness, the more favorable your clients will feel about your brand.
- Give your relationship a boost
A client relationship is a two-way street, and client appreciation gifts don’t just build a strong partnership but a more profitable one too. You can’t put a price on being kind.
- Stand out from competitors
It’s more important than ever to stand out amongst the competition in your industry. After all, if someone out there provides a better service and a more significant gift, you will lose the edge.
Ultimately, the whole point of a promotional client appreciation gift is to help clients remember your brand and persuade them to keep choosing you over others. Just remember that choosing the right kind of product is crucial – after all, 72% of people say the type of gift they receive reflects a brand reputation, whether positive or negative.
So to help you make the right product choice, here are our best client and customer appreciation gift ideas…
