Five Creative Client Appreciation Gifts

Now that the calendar has turned to autumn, the Season of Giving is officially on its way! If you’re tired of sending out the same old presents to your buyers every year, we’ve assembled some ideas for creative client appreciation gifts that you may want to consider:

A subscription box

You’ve probably gotten to know your buyers while chatting during the house hunting process, so you most likely know a thing or two about their hobbies and interests. Subscription boxes have exploded in popularity in recent years, with everything from sports collectibles to gourmet snacks to beauty & self-care products available to be sent out bi-monthly, monthly or even weekly for a predetermined duration. These boxes will arrive at your clients’ brand-new homes like clockwork, reminding them of your connection on a regular basis.  

Custom tumblers

Whether they’re used for coffee, green tea, protein shakes or water, everyone appreciates a quality tumbler. Add a personalized touch to your clients’ gift by having their name, alma mater, favorite celebrity or maybe even a funny inside joke engraved on its exterior. This way, your buyer will remember your interaction every time they take a sip from their tumbler and hopefully think of you the next time they’re looking to buy or sell a home.

Personalized stamps & stationary

If you’ve had a client move in the last few months, they’ll probably be sending out change-of-address notifications to their friends and family at some point. The time to send holiday cards is right around the corner as well, so helping them speed up this time-consuming task with custom address stamps will definitely be appreciated. Gifting personalized stationary for them to use for any occasion is also a good way to forge a stronger connection with the new homeowners, as they’ll remember your kind gesture whenever they head to the post office.

A fun night out

While physical gifts have their obvious merits, offering a memorable experience as a present is also a great way for you to wow your buyers and make a long-lasting impression. If they’ve moved to a new town, you can get them passes to a local attraction or a gift card to a popular neighborhood restaurant so they can get to know their new area better. If they’re fans of a particular sports team or musical genre, tickets to an upcoming game or concert will also make a mark.

Classes & lessons

Helping your buyers improve their skills in an area they’re passionate about—or learn a whole new skillset—is definitely a unique and creative way to enhance your professional relationship with them. As they progressively master a given discipline they’ve discussed with you at some point, they’ll have you to thank. These experiences can also be gifted in virtual format to make taking them more convenient for both you and your clients. Music lessons, virtual golf lessons, cooking classes, visual art tutorials, yoga sessions—the possibilities are endless!

We hope that these creative client appreciation gifts will help you foster a sense of loyalty and earn repeat business and referrals from your buyers for years to come!
