Get started with these four smart gift ideas to thank your customers in the New Year.

Handwritten Notes
While handing out custom gifts, make sure that it is accompanied with a delightful hand-written note, thanking your customers for their business. In a digital world, a hand written note will go a long way in tugging the hearts of your patrons. Include your customer’s name and make it about them! Do not try to make a sale or promote yourself in the note. Make it personalized to make it stand out among all the catalogs and flyers that they may have on their desk.
Food Treats
The easiest and the most popular way to tug the hearts of the recipients, cookies, candy and other custom food gifts make popular promotional giveaways. Firstly, because these sweet delights can be shared with friends, co-workers and family members of the recipient; and secondly nobody can resist these. The more people they share these edible treats with, the more will be your brand exposure and popularity.
Do not forget the calendars
A personalized calendar will make a perfect gift to convey your New Year’s greeting. Put your brand on their wall for 365 days and drive up the brand recall with these functional items. You can even dude it up with chocolates or coffee mugs to enrich the gifts and to make it last longer.
Let The Customers Be Your Focus
Often marketers tend to focus more about themselves rather than on their customers. Make sure not to lose focus on your clients by keeping them engaged with your brand continuously. Organize fun contests like photo contests or essay contests to keep the customers engaged. Sending newsletters or running “Fan of the Month” contests are all interesting ways to stay connected with your clients. Conveying your thanks to your customers need not an exorbitant affair; just pick up some interesting gifts and add a personal touch to make it truly special.

A retro touch

Weaving in a retro touch can often help in keeping your brand right on top of the minds of your customers. Business card magnets with notepads will make a great hand out to stir up referrals and to create new leads. You can send these out twice a year to keep your customers well engaged with your brand.

2017 Business plan

As the holidays get over and businesses get back to the normal pace, it will be a good idea to add your 2017 business plan in your year-end mailers and newsletters. From recycled pens and notepads to refrigerator magnets and more, you can hand out your business plan in a novel way to grab the attention of your customers. The best part is that unlike email, your customers won’t delete these without reading it. Every time they see these logo items, your brand name will get registered in the minds of your customers.
