Happy customers are loyal customers. When customers are rewarded for their loyalty, they\u2019re happy. And that keeps them loyal. This cycle is a happy little circle of return visits for your business, so it\u2019s important to do what you can to ensure the circle remains unbroken.<\/p>\n

Close to 70% of customers stop doing business with a company because of an \u201cattitude of indifference<\/a>\u201d on the part of that company. So with most customers, all you need to do is let them know how much you appreciate their business. What\u2019s the most effective way to do that, though? Follow these three tips to give your customers food gifts<\/a> they won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n

1. Be genuine.<\/h3>\n

If you didn\u2019t enjoy your customers, you wouldn\u2019t work for your company. The key to letting them know how much you appreciate them is simple: tell them how much you appreciate them \u2014 and mean it. If you\u2019re a person of few words, you don\u2019t need to launch into a five-minute monologue about your gratitude. A simple, \u201cHow are you?\u201d or \u201cNice to see you again!\u201d will do the trick.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a lot of day-to-day contact with your customers, drop them an occasional handwritten note to let them know you value them. It doesn\u2019t need to be long. Just the fact that you took a few minutes to write them will make most people feel special.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Reward referrals.<\/h3>\n

Walt Disney once said: \u201cDo what you do so well that people can\u2019t resist telling others about you.\u201d What he should have added is: \u201c \u2013 and give meaningful gifts to encourage them to continue talking about you.\u201d Whether it\u2019s a discount on their next purchase or a small gift to show your appreciation, make sure you\u2019re acknowledging these loyal \u2014 and talkative \u2014 customers. Think of all the money you save on marketing by having these referrals. It\u2019s good business to take a little of that savings and spend it on something special for these brand evangelists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Give the unexpected.<\/h3>\n

The first few times someone received a coffee shop gift card, they probably thought it was pretty special. For many people, those days are over. Some people will appreciate the gesture, but these days, all you give with a such a gift is exactly that: a gesture. Give more than a gesture \u2014 give your customers something they don\u2019t expect. A meaningful gift will make them appreciate the effort you put in to deliver a gift that exceeds their expectations (just like you appreciate the effort they put into supporting your business).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to unexpected \u2014 and amazing \u2014 gifts, there\u2019s no gift like Omaha Steaks. Consider the businesses you frequent. If one of them gave you delectable, grill-ready steaks<\/a>, would you feel appreciated? How about a combo of steaks and seafood<\/a>? Or a gift basket<\/a> of fine wine and cheese? All of these are available from Omaha Steaks, and they\u2019re only the beginning.<\/p>\n

We offer numerous options for customer appreciation at a variety of price points<\/a> and in a variety of combinations<\/a>. We even have full, easy-to-make meals available. And if you don\u2019t know exactly what a customer prefers, you can give them one of our Custom Certificates<\/a>, which lets them choose from options that you preselect.<\/p>\n
