If you struggle at times finding the right closing gift for your client, here is an idea for you - Reflective Address Signs.
At first blush, it may not seem like a very memorable gift, but the Realtor in my local BNI chapter has been raving about the reception she is receiving from her clients.
If you are a SendOutCards user, you can even take a picture of the house with the new sign and send a Thank You card with the picture on the front of the card. Imagine the impact! This is a card that will preserve the memory of this important day in your clients life. You will never be forgotten!
If you can find someone who makes signs in one of your networking groups, this is a great way to provide them with repeat and frequent referrals. They will appreciate you!

Lastly, consider simplifying the whole process by using a system like Send Out Cards, where you can include a closing gift or gift card with your Thank You greeting card from the comfort of your computer. Feel free to click the link or contact me for a free trial.
I've been giving the reflective signs also. I think they are important because of the ease that emergency responders can see the address as well as a great gift that can be used. I explain to the buyer how hard it is for a responder to see numbers on a home or small numbers on a mailbox and all of them have been appreciative.
