Want to show your clients how much you appreciate them for Valentine’s Day – or just because?
There’s just one rule: Make sure whatever you do aligns with their interests and personalities. If you’re not sure what they might like, then it’s likely you’re just starting out in your work together. The next time you talk to them, ask leading questions, like Did you have a good weekend? Any big vacation plans coming up?
Also, it’s important to point out that you don’t have to surprise and delight every single client. I’d only focus on the ones who refer you a lot of business or account for a large chunk of your revenues.
Here are 23 fun ways to surprise and delight clients any time of the year.
