Holiday Shopping for Clients

So what are you getting your clients for Christmas this year?

I normally send a traditional holiday arrangement or chocolates. So cliche and unmemorable. This year I decided to really focus on something that my clients would truly appreciate. Something that says that I listen. And at the same time, something that assists them or fixes their problems.

AND something that makes them think of me...and often! mwuahahaha ! :D Yeah, it sounds all evil and all, but it's not. Don't let the evil mwuahahaha scare you...it's creative gifting...not evilness! I promise!

One of my clients mentioned just last week of having too many accessories, and not enough USB ports on her laptop to plug them into. So I decided that this year, I'm getting her a Usb Squid, 4-Port Hub. I know she will just squeal when she opens it. I could spend 5 times as much on a proper box of chocolates but I'm sure she'll appreciate this gift of 4 extra USB ports instead of 4 extra pounds!

And yesterday another client mentioned how hot his laptop has been getting lately. I had the same problem recently and had looked at some Ventilated Laptop Stands to help keep my laptop cool. I'm sending him one too to see if it helps.

So yeah, that's just two examples of how I'm doing it a little different this year. I'm spending a lot less for these gifts but I'm hoping my gifts are more memorable and useful. I think this year for once my clients will seriously appreciate my gifts! I'm excited!

Oh, and in case any of ya'll are wondering, I sure would like a Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system for my iPod®....in black which you can get incredible deals on at Amazon.com this week during their Black Friday Deals!!! :) ** hint hint wink wink ** ha ha
