Customer Appreciation Gifts

Since I’ve gotten you thinking about parties, let’s take a look at another great end-of-year event. This year, if you don’t feel a holiday party for your office is right, why not throw an end of year “Customer Appreciation” bash, gala, open house, social or good old-fashioned party?

This is a great way to get all of your most loved customers in one room and thank them for their time and their business this year, or in years past. It’s a great way to start off the new year, letting your favorite customers (or all of your customers) know how much you appreciate them while you take the opportunity to share your plans, your outlook or your goals for the coming year. It is also a way to give your most valuable clients a "warm fuzzy" feeling about you and your business that will last through the competitive times ahead. There are situations when that little bit of edge is necessary to ward off your competitors.

I have a great gift idea for you. Do you want to give them something with sticking power, something your clients will look at not just daily, but multiple times every single day? Something that will make that "warm, fuzzy" last over many years and will make it available and visible in your customers' offices whenever your competitor shows up? If we measured “favorite” by the number of times we look at something, then one of my favorite things is the clock on my desk.I’m always checking the time (not so much for when I can leave work, but how long I have until I need to leave for that meeting, appointment, or to make that phone call to California or Brazil). If you think about it, nothing other than the monitor you are looking at right now rivals the advertising ‘hits’ you get with a clock or a watch.

Clocks, like all products, come in many shapes and sizes, so think about the message you want to send.

Is your business all about innovation and creativity? Desk clocks come in many shapes, and this one is quite a unique design. Give a gift that will help your clients 'soar' in the New Year. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) There are other shapes offered from simple geometric shapes, to golf bags, pianos, guitars, and classic cars-even pens with clocks built in. Check out some of our other designs. If you don't see a shape you want, contact us. I am sure we can find it.

Are you interested in a more classic look and feel? Check out this beautiful masterpiece. Its got a great look with roman numerals and a lovely mahogany finish. We have many similar timepieces, perfect for your favorite clients' desks.

Why not both new AND traditional? This time piece has a streamline look with a analog clock face. Put this on any desk and your sure to dress it up without being too busy.

Clocks are a great way to keep you on your customer's mind..every time they check the time. Best of all, they’ll thank you for the help.
