Ever Wonder What Type of Gift to Give Your Client?

Lake Charles Real Estate

This is the time of year that I enjoy giving a little back to all of my 2010 real estate clients.   Christmas is the season of giving and I like to take the time to spread a little holiday joy....plus I get alot of joy in return!

 

I bet you are wondering what is in that little red bag shown above that I have been delivering this week.....

 

Inside my clients will find a personalized Christmas card along with a personalized bag of rice!

Lake Charles Real EstateBertrand Rice in Elton, Louisiana has been my source for business gifts through the years.  Bertrand Rice is locally owned and operated by David and Lorraine Bertrand.  As you might imagine, rice is a big commodity in Southwest Louisiana, we have alot of rice farmers in the communities around Lake Charles, Louisiana. 

Every year Bertrand Rice designs a Christmas Bag and a Mardi Gras Bag that can be special ordered in bulk to give as gifts. The front of the bag has a unique holiday design and there is room on the back of the bag for your logo and special message!

Rice is the staple in alot of Louisiana recipes and everyone always keeps a bag of rice in their pantry. 

It is traditional for alot of families to have a Christmas Eve Gumbo and rice is also used for Rice Dressing which goes along with the holiday turkey and ham Christmas Day!

Seems like the perfect gift to me and my clients will be reminded of Marilyn Boudreaux, their Century 21 Realtor, everytime they cook a pot of rice. 

That brings me great JOY!

Marilyn -  what a fantastic, unique gift to share with your clients!  I did not know how important rice is to your community but I thank you for enlightening us.

A great idea and nice packaging.  I'm sure everyone finds enjoyment in this very useable gift.  Nice pic of you on the bike, is that a "hog"?  And Santa going along for a ride.  I used to have a automatic Honda (many years ago.)

Marilyn, that makes perfect sense to give rice to your clients as Christmas gift.  I will take it any time of the day from you, haha, I always have a huge bag of rice in my pantry, too.

LOL, it would be tough giving a sack of oysters or a hamper of crabs. Great idea.... Maybe a basket of Louisiana Food.
