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!
