Title: Christmas Presents for customers
Post by: mark_roberts on December 10, 2004, 06:20:43 pm: I have about 6 really good commercial customers who I do work for almost every month. I want to buy each office a present. I was thinking of a large tin of celebrations or similar.

Any better ideas.

thanks
Mark

PS. did this last year and it goes down very well. Just make sure the decision maker takes delivery.

not expensive but the customers i give them to are quite chuffed and after all it is the thought that counts

When you submit your next quote they won't even blink at your cost! Trust me, i do it all the time and it works and it is also a fab day out!

Try It because it works

Best

Scott, great idea but I'm in N Ireland and Irish football is crap.

Cheap wine suggests to me (who doesent drink and knows nothing about wine) that its a cheap thought.

Presented a large tub of celebrations to the nursing home manager today after doing some work for her (£190). Over the moon. Told me it was very thoughtful.

One down five to go.

Post by: stevegunn on December 14, 2004, 07:20:57 pm: It really depends on what type of company it is if a nursing home a tin of celebrations so they are shared out or if its office where one person has control over cleaning a nice xmas hamper goes down well.
