5 Inexpensive Gifts to Give to Your Customers

Giving gifts to your customers is a tricky activity. You want to give them all a little something, but often, your budget just won’t allow it. Here are five inexpensive holiday gift ideas that won’t break your budget, but that will show your customers how much you appreciate them.

Free products or services

Giving away a free product or service that you would normally charge for is a very cost effective way to say ‘thank you’ to your customers. Try to match the item you give to the customer’s needs, if possible. If not, why not simply give your loyal customers a substantial discount on the product or service of their choice? They’ll love the thoughtful gesture and spend money with you, too.

Food

Everyone loves cookies during the holidays, so why not send out cookies to your best customers? You could also give chocolates, hard candies, or even provide a buffet table full of snacks for your customers one day during the holiday season to show your thanks.

Gift cards

Gift cards can often be bought at a discount when you buy them in bulk. Just make sure they don’t have expiration dates or restrictions that would cause problems for your customers.

Free apps

Here’s a way to thank your customers and keep your business in their minds every day. Have a fun game or app created that features your business, then make it free for customers to download. They can think of you fondly while they kill time playing your game on their mobile device.

Promotional merchandise

Chances are, you already have some of this lying around anyway. Just make sure that whatever you give is of decent quality and suitable for its recipients. T-shirts, coffee mugs and calendars are all great ideas, but don’t overlook company colouring books, too. They’re great for grownups because they provide stress relief and relaxation.
