Should home business owners give holiday gifts to their customers/clients? If so, what should they give and how much should they spend?

This all depends on your business, the number of customers, and how much you have to spend.
Receiving gifts pleases most customers and serves as a good public relations technique. However, most businesses can’t spend too much on gifts and must be careful they don’t favor one customer over the other.
Some ideas:
- Calendars
- Planners
- Cheese and crackers gift box
- Something you’ve made
- A hand written thank you note
- Grab bag
- Include something extra with a holiday purchase
- Open house party
What do you give as gifts…to your walk-in customers and those you have contact via the Internet and mail order? Now is the time to start planning for holiday gift giving.
