How do you give thanks to your clients?

Each Thanksgiving, I send a special hand written note of thanks to my cilents of that current year. I think it is important to stop and simply take a moment to let them know I appreciated their loyalty and faith in me. I am proud to keep in contact with all my clients, and letting them know their business is important to me (and future referrals too of course!) is such an easy, but essential, part of my ongoing marketing efforts.

Of course, I also thank each client at the end of the real estate transaction, with another personal note, closing gift, and a contribution in their name to an animal shelter or rescue group of their choice. Even in these hard times, it is crucial more than ever to let clients/customers know that their business is appreciated.

What do you do to give thanks to your clients?

PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY GIVE BACK PROGRAM, WHERE I MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER IN YOUR NAME UPON CLOSING!!!

You're a good person Kristin. The more I get to know about you, the more I like and respect you.

I typically give a hand written card and a gift card to Home Depot or Lowe's Home Improvement at closing.

Many of my past clients are now friends, so we just end up calling one another around the holiday times.

Hello my friend-It is very important to stay in touch with clients. I do that with mailing for the realtor I work for. I have missed you my friend and to answer your question on my post. YES I am still working and might be til the 1st of the year. I love it but I do get VERY tired trying to keep up with everything. I am seriously sleep deprived. Have a great Friday. <SMILE>

Kristin - I do handwritten Thanksgiving cards, plus at least one more hand written communication each year, that is in addition to any emailings or mailings.
