The turkey is in the shopping cart, the stuffing ingredients are on the counter, and the in-laws are on their way. That can only mean one thing\u2014Thanksgiving is almost here.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many ways to thank and acknowledge your customers, but be sure to select one that aligns with your brand personality and budget. We\u2019ve rounded up a few ideas to help you get started. When done right, even a small gesture of thanks can encourage continued business in the new year.

Send a gift or treat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who doesn\u2019t love to get mail? There is something about getting a mystery box in the mail that makes us feel like a kid again. A box of craft coffee is always appreciated during the business of the season. (Hello, caffeine!) Or opt for a tin of specialty cookies for the office to share. (\u2018Tis the season for sugar.) Think back to conversations you\u2019ve had with your customer. Do they love golf? Are they a Seahawks fan? Personalizing your gift makes the recipient feel even more valued. Send a handwritten note.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the most budget-friendly option, but is no less meaningful. Taking the time to write a handwritten thank you or holiday note speaks volumes. Discount their next bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On your customers\u2019 next bill or invoice, consider applying a small discount to thank them for their loyalty! Be sure to call out the discount and thank them for their continued patronage. Establish a loyalty program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider instituting a loyalty program in the new year, and use the excitement of the holiday season to announce it. Give your most loyal (or \u201cVIP\u201d) customers a leg-up with bonus points or an introductory promotion. Your program can be as simple as an annual discount on their anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy Thanksgiving from MadCap Marketing!
