The holidays are a perfect time to say "Thanks" to those people who have been your biggest supporters in real estate, as well as in other areas of your life. Your gift list should definitely include anyone who has sent you a referral in the past year, as well as favorite clients.
This can be an overwhelming task, so start small. This year, I am starting with 20 people. If I get all those holiday thank-yous delivered in time, I will look at the next 10. Problem is, what do I pop-by with?
Well, I'm not sure what the gift will be, but I know what they are being packaged in!
I found these great holiday gift bags on sale at Party City. It is a national chain, so you should be able to find similar gift bags at your local Party City. They were only $.59 each!
They also had smaller bags for $.49, and larger bags for $.99. I chose these because I want to keep my costs down. I'm trying to keep my gift at less than $5, so these bags should work out great. I can fit a coffee mug or two in them, or a candle, or a Christmas ornament if my recipients celebrate Christmas.
I did choose these particular bags because they are non-denominational and do not promote any single holiday. And when you drop off your gift, as you're chatting away, don't forget to ask them if they know anyone who needs your help with real estate.
Now, any suggestions other than coffee mugs and candles for what to put in my wonderful gift-bag find?
