Giving plants as gift

Some people call this kind of gift as green gift. Probably they refer to trees with green leaves. Giving plants as gift could be something unique, especially for those who like plants. Giving this kind of gift also has a caring meaning. As we know that plants won't grow beautiful without care. You need to do many things from seedling, watering, fertilizing, etc. Planting is also a kind of hobby that needs lots of care and patience. And thus, giving a plant to someone we care also means that we really care for him/her. Why? It's an expression of care and patience. It takes a lot of effort to make it grow, day by day. Some people prefer growing bonsai and indoor plants. And this kind of plant can be give as unique gift.

Egglings mini herb pot

Have you ever seen plants grow in an egg? Well, this is not a real egg. It's just a mini-ceramic egg. You can buy it as a nice gift for someone who loves indoor plants. It has enriched soil in it and seeds. Crack the egg open and water the soil. In a few weeks, it will grow to a nice plant. If you give it to your friend, you can write "I hope that our friendship grow too" on the egg or other message you want to convey. Good luck.

Piggy bank with chocolate inside

A year ago when I was shopping, I found a special gift (maybe not special to you) which I think children will like it. It's a piggy bank with chocolate inside. This kind of gift will be great for children because they can eat the chocolate, and then the medium (I mean the piggy bank) can be used again as a piggy bank. Here I provide a picture which I got it from Creative Custom search. Not the same one as I had seen, though. But they have the same functions. Chocolate gift and piggy bank!!!

Giving free gifts according to the weather

Giving free gifts according to customers' interests or needs is important. It's a bit hard to know your customers' interests. But you can also give free gifts according to the weather.

I remembered a scene in an old movie that told me how to do business. The scene in the movie was about doing business in different season or weather. In the movie: a man gave his friend an idea of selling umbrellas during wet season and fans during dry season. This is a very common practice in business. But, to me (as a primary school student that time), it was a very logical and useful theory of business I had to remember (I was quite funny, though) . So, until now, I still remember the scene of the movie.

In doing business, never neglect promotion with free gifts. If you really want to think for the promotion, you will find a lot of great ideas for it, then use it on certain days or seasons.

Let me give you an example. If you own a provision shop selling rice, grain, etc, you can use my idea for promotion during new year (use it for Chinese New Year or maybe Idul Fitri). This is how:
On Idul Fitri, you can give out rice cracker (there are many kinds of rice cracker). If you just own a small rice business, you can give out homemade rice cracker for every customer. Don't forget to give a warm greeting. If you are afraid of losing money, you can set a target of gift giving according to their purchase.

Use keywords like: promotional gift wholesale or promotional merchandise to search of items you can use for promotion.

Giving free gifts for birthday or first visit

Well, this post of mine is not intended to tell you any gift idea. But I am going to tell you that using free gift idea can boost up your name or your company name. If you own a shop, don't forget to give your customer free gifts as a promotion. If you can't find any good day for promotion, you may visit:

www.123greetings.com ---> this site will tell you what's special about today. You'll also find that the site provides a complete list of special days in a month. In fact, to give promotions, you don't have to find any excuses.

If you have a complete list of your customers' birthdays, you can give out free gifts on their birthdays when they visit your place. A tuition centre is a good example. If you are managing a tuition centre, I believe you will have a list of your students' birthdays.

If you give them any small gifts, I believe they will remember you, at least give a card or even just a birthday greeting.

You can also use the software I mentioned in my previous post, Perfect Alarm Clock to remind you for the birthday.

Giving free gifts for birthdays, or even first visit seems to be a very small thing, but if you do, you'll probably win their hearts. But you should consider whether to give this for a long term (I mean every year) or not. Everything is up to you. I just give you my idea. Good luck!

Don't forget his/her birthday

If you don't want to forget someone's birthday, you may consider using the reminder of your mobile phone to remind you when the birthday is near. It's not really hard to use. But if you want to use your computer for this task, you may download the reminder software to help you.

Try not to forget to give a present eventhough it's just a small one to let him/her know that you care for him/her.
