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.

I went to cash and carry and bought some cheap red and white wine
 not expensive but the customers i give them to are quite chuffed  and after all it is the thought that counts

If you have a customer who is worth around 2k a year or more then do footabll hospitlality! cost around 200/250 but well worth it. 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

Ian, your mixing me up with the other Mark Roberts.  I wasent at carpex.

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.

thanks

I let 3 of my commercial customers have a hamper each after all they are worth thousands to me a year so I let them have the best from www.virginiahayward.com Martin

At least it is a thought!!

As it is my first year trading i am not exacly rolling in lots of spare money but at least i have given a token thank you for my few regular customers!!!

Not only my bigger customers get a Christmas gift from me - they  all receive a priceless commodity ............... ME .........available for a reasonable fee throughout the following year

Lee, fair point and no harm intended.

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.

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.
