 Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:00 am Post subject: Should I include my business card in the same envelope as the restaurant gift cards? |
 |
|
| I am a small business owner who distributes products andmy best customer which represents about 50% of my total business asked me for some sort of contribution for their Christmas Party. I plan on getting about 4 gift cards each worth $50 from a decent restaurant. They will randomly give these out to employees at their companies Christmas Party.I plan on giving each of the 4 gift cards in a 4 plain white envelopes. Should I include my business card in each envelope as well along with the gift card?Should I also give a seperate gift to some of the managers who treat me good and continue to trust me and buy lots of products from me? They are really good people.Any help would be appreciated. |

| yes, include the card, anyone who gets it would likely want to share the appreciation with some kind of thankyou and it may generate business. And, yes, you should show some other appreciation for your best customers, they will remember it... |

| The company will probably remove the business cards before they hand them out, so I wouldn't bother. The restaurants should include an envelope for each card. Just make sure that the company knows that the gift cards came from you by delivering them in person or send them in a company envelope. I would definitely give a nice gift to those who decide which vendor to do business with. |

| It looks like the effect you want is to help out with their Christmas party, but also make your best customer feel good about you, right? Don't put your card in an envelope with the gift certificate. Random employees won't appreciate it, and it could be considered tacky.Instead:1. Get a small to medium sized box.2. Get gift certificates from Best Buy. A. EVERYONE can find something they want there as opposed to someone getting a mexican restaurant card, but they hate mexican food. B. Best Buy cards come in their own "envelope" with a "FROM" place to write on their cover. That's where you put your company's name, (Or your name and company name). It subtle, nice, lets them know where it's from, but classy.3. Put those in the box with small gifts for the managers who have helped you.4. DON'T forget the big boss. He may or may not appreciate a gift, but he will CARE if he doesn't get one.5. Include a thank you letter in an unsealed envelope, WITH, yes, YOUR CARD, thanking them and explaining the cards are for the employees and "enjoy the gifts."6. With your box in hand, show up and distribuite with a smile and a handshake. Or, if you're mailing it, wrap each gift (except the best buy cards), label each gift, and wish them the best.All in all, what you're doing will be appreciated.I hope that helps. |
