Well, better late than never!

For Christmas 2007 I sent my clients personalized brass wreath holders from Orvis.  Clients realized that it was a gift that was “special” since it had to be ordered with their name on it, not just something where you purchased several dozen of the same thing.

It is so handsome that I’m sure every visitor to their homes during the holiday season (and all year, I hope) asked where they got it.   Great, a chance for them to mention my name.

Next year they will all get wreaths delivered.

Thanks for the inspiring referral tips.

Kathy,

I wish I could send you a list of gift ideas that I’ve accumulated, but very few people responded to my “call for ideas.”  Yours was the most creative.

I’ll give you a couple of ideas we use at RCI:

•  Edible fruit arrangements (great for CPAs during tax time).
• Fancy wine openers from Brookstone.
• Gifts from their favorite sports team website.
• Gifts with personalized cards from a new service:  www.SendOutCards.com/billcates 

We’ve found that we always get the best bang for our buck when we send gifts personalized to their special interests – like hobbies, sports, charities, etc.

Bill
