5 Budget-Friendly Ways to Say “Thank You”
Finding new clients and customers is a must for any business. But keeping them is essential. This holiday season, give these quick, loyalty-building ideas a try. You could be surprised by how much your clients/customers appreciate even the smallest gesture.
- Offer a Holiday Discount: People love to save money. By offering a lower price on some of your more popular products, you can win their hearts and dollars. Better yet, offer personalized discounts based on a person’s specific purchase history.
- Support Other Businesses: Create a custom gift box that includes items from your business as well as other small businesses. Then, give those bundles away to your best customers and clients. You don’t need to spend a ton. Add a note that says “Proud to Support Local Businesses” to show your community support. This is a great way to win a customer for life and build strong ties with other small business owners.
- Share a Special “Thank You” Message: Using social media, post a heartfelt, personal message to your clients and customers. Keep it short (less than a minute), and be sure to thank your employees as well. If you have a small list of clients, email them a link to the message.
- Donate to Charity in Their Name: Choose a local, politically neutral charity and make a donation. Then, add the names of each of your favorite clients and customers to the list of benefactors. Finally, wish your clients and customers a happy holiday season, along with a note about the donation. The amount you donated isn’t important, but adding them to your list of donors can be quite impactful.
- Host a Holiday Open House: As we approach the holidays, advertise a special open house at your office and/or all of your locations. For one day, offer free coffee and cheer, including special treats, special offers, freebies, and more. To make it an exclusive event, personally invite your best clients and customers.
