Creative closing gift your clients will love!

 

I am always on the look out for cool, thoughtful, and creative closing gifts for my clients.  I want to give them something that will remind them of me, show them how much I appreciate their business, relates to their new home or sale of their home, and could possibley get me new business!

creative closing gifts

Many of you know I create Luxury Note Cards by Kschowe with my photos of our golf course, desert sunsets, palm trees, polo, etc.  Recently I discovered a new app for iPhone or Android called DreamScope.

It allows you to take your listing photos or best pictures of  your clients home and turn them into cool works of art.  It's easy to use and creates the images in a few minutes, which you can then downlocreative closing giftad into your photos.  

I then print the images and create a set of Luxury Note Cards for my clients with the images of their new home on the front.  They can send them to their friends and family to let them know about their new creative closing gifthome!  On the back of each card I print my websites where they can order more cards... or check out my latest listings.  Their friends and family who recieve the cards will also be able to access my websites.

Another way to utilize this Dreamscope app is to take the "artistic image" of their home and have it reproduced on gallery wrapped canvas.  I sent a closing gift to a couple who was sad to sell their desert condo- it was an image of their gorgeous mountain view from the home they sold.  Now they will always have it. 

If you like the idea but don't have the time or skills- I can make them for yoclosing giftsu!  All I will need is a few of your favorite photos of the home and I will create the cards or canvas for you.  The cards are $8/each + shippping and I can do as many as you like.  Finished and shipped to you tied with a ribbon. Contact me for pricing on the canvas reproductions- they start at $55 for the smallest size of 8 X 10.  Larger sizes are more. 

I hope this sparks your creativity for closing gifts and gives you an option for treating your clients!

I downloaded the app after reading your post over the weekend. However, I can't figure out how to save to my phone.

There's another similar app I recently downloaded called PRISMA.    You've given us a great idea for closing gifts - I hadn't thought of that - thank you!

I have seen friends use PRISMA-- and yes it's similar!

 I also like to give thoughtful, creative and personal gifts to clients. This is a great idea, especially because I sell many homes in the older part of Kansas City--beautiful Tudors and 1920s built properties with timeless curb appeal. Thanks for the tip!

Sounds like those homes would make beautiful cards Mary Hutchison, SRES, ABR !  With this app- even humble simple homes look fantastic!  Kathy

Great feature! I've done photos of homes on coasters for my Senior sellers who have just downsized, but love the note cards and canvas ideas.  Thanks for sharing such meaningful closing gifts.  Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
