I will be doing lots of pop bys to my clients this month and have small gifts for the family. Do you give gifts to clients for Christmas?

Pop-bys are pop-bys - there should not be any price tag associated with those gifts.

In fact, I am sure you are aware of Brian Buffini's referral system, which in fact, insists on pop-bys, not necessarily expensive gifts, though. There are quite a few great ideas on their website for members.

For current year clients, we buy up holiday themed tins or cookie jars AFTER the holidays (when they are marked down) then fill them with homemade cookies and fudge and deliver. For everyone else, they get a card with a personal note, although if there is someone we have a hint may be selling in the coming year, they get a gift tin/jar.

To all of my folks who I helped buy and sell real estate this year, they all receive a poinsettia. Everyone from the past only receives a card. I should do more, but I have too many mouths to feed at home...

@Gita, I purchased 250 calendars last year, then heard from many of my clients, they throw them away due to using their calendar on their phone. I had 25 clients ask for them last year. I did not buy them this year.

Bill Dandridge thank you for your comment, and I was thinking about poinsettia plants, and the kids always love the cans of popcorn.
