Everything is going to be alright. I promise. »

You STILL haven’t come up with a gift for your favorite customers?

December 16, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I know, I know… you want to give them something unique but inexpensive enough that you can hand out dozens. But what will everyone like? Think cute? Talk about and show their friends?

And here it is, ALMOST too late.

Auntie Kate to the rescue, with a little help from her friends. I promise you: you can have these made, and have your business card tied onto them, by the dozens by this evening. And it’s consignment, resale, thrift shop budget-friendly.

Ya gotta click on the picture to get the whole idea.

    Each year I send my top 100 customers a Christmas card with an invitation to come pick up their special gift. At the store this year we have a little gift bag with a Christmas mug (which we saved from buyouts all year), a packet of hot cocoa, a peppermint stick, and a gift coupon for free merchandise for each person, personally addressed. They love the special attention and we get them back in the store during a normally slow time of year for us.
