The Art of Gifting

Everyone loves to give gifts as well as receive them. There are so many occasions to give gifts such as Birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Christmas. These are all the obvious ones of course that first comes to mind. How about thank you gifts? Most folks will write or email words of thanks. But how about going that extra mile and sending someone an unexpected gift. Doesn't need to be expensive, just a token of thanks. What impact do you have on that person? First, they will be overjoyed at the thoughtfulness of your gift, but they will remember you.......for a long time. Especially if this person you just gifted was a client. Perhaps a Real Estate Client that you are trying to secure, or another professional trying to secure a new client or thanking them for their business People love gifts! I see it all the time. People buy gifts as a Thank You every day. What would you rather have? An email or handwritten card stating "Thank you very much" or a handwritten card with a small token gift?
