A few ways to say thank you to your customers and clients, building long-term professional relationships, being memorable and authentically connecting with them. 

Here are 6 ideas that will leave a lasting impact on your clients and customers.


Handwritten Thank You Card.

Stand out from the online noise and social media with a traditional handwritten card. Placing your message in ink is timeless and stands out from another email in their inbox.  You can design and print your own stationery or purchase something pretty from a local stationary shop. You can even select from one of our editable templates, add your branding and print a pretty postcard to mail them. When writing a note, craft something thoughtful and personal - explaining why you are grateful; thanking them for their continued support.

Personalized Thank You Gift.

A personalized gift will never go out of style - especially if it's something useful that your clients will love. This can be something simple such as a bracelet made by a local artisan, a copy of their favorite book or a box of chocolates. Take the time to get your customers something they will truly love and appreciate. 

Branded Thank You Gift.

A great way to say thank you can also be a gift they will appreciate and use while adding your branding – making it truly unforgettable.  They will remember you every time they see or use your gift. 

Top branded gifts include:

- A classic market tote bag they will take when going shopping and local farmers markets
- A modern custom mug they will use every morning while sipping on their coffee or tea
- A branded tumbler that they will take everywhere they go - from the office to the gym
- Personalized Plantable Journal - something they will use to jot down their thoughts or to do list and then be able to plant, sprouting wildflowers and thinking of your brand
- Custom Stemless Flutes with your logo - these will be cherished for years to come, whether they are sipping on champagne, wine or sparkling cider!

 

Gift Card + Thank You Note.

You can also do something simple with your thank you gift. You can thank them with a gift card and a thank you note.  This can be a general gift card to their favorite coffee shop, restaurant or store.  If your business is a boutique, give them a gift card to your shop! 

Surprise Discount on Services.

Give you customers a discount on your services or products and make them feel like a VIP. Don’t run this special discount on social media or in your newsletter but rather keep it only available to your loyal customers and clients. 

Complimentary Dinner or Event.

This is a classic way of saying thank you (think back to the Mad Men era; pure elegance). You can either invite them to join you if you have developed a long and more personal relationship/friendship with them or simply provide them with a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant, theater tickets or baseball game. Another way to do this is to host an intimate dinner party for your VIP clients or invite them to an exclusive shopping day at your boutique.
