Most people suck at gift giving.
Here are 3 gifts EVERYBODY wants.
LFG
👇
1. Food
If you have no idea what to gift someone.
Start with food.
Everyone loves food.
Especially fit people.
I enjoy food more than most.
Not because I get to eat well-cooked meals.
Quite the opposite.
But because I eat the same 10 foods so often that when moments come along (like Thanksgiving), you best believe I will feast on all the fixings.
And enjoy every bite of it.
If you have no idea what to give someone.
Offer the gift of food.
- Fruit basket.
- Local honey.
- Nitrate-free beef sticks.
- Organ blend ground beef.
Or, my personal favorite, host a big ol’ potluck.
2. Admiration
Gifts don’t have to be expensive.
They can be completely free.
I host a podcast show.
Now and then, someone will reach out to me.
- “You’re the reason I started my business.”
- “You’re honestly an incredible podcaster.”
- “Your personal story changed my life.”
Messages like this have always meant far more to me than the money I’ve made from the show.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy getting paid.
But admiration pulls on my hamstrings.
Or heartstrings, if you prefer.
How can you give the gift of admiration to your customers?
Here are some ideas.
- Send them a “thank you” message.
- Highlight a client on your social media page.
- Comment on their most recent post.
- Give them a genuine compliment.
Or, my personal favorite, mail them a handwritten gratitude card.
3. Time
I hate stuff.
But I love time.
I’m a millennial.
Which means I grew up with a lot of stuff.
I’m grateful for it.
But it’s not what I value.
I value time above all else.
The best gift anyone can give me?
THEIR time.
I think this is true for most people.
We’re all starving for time.
Give your customers the gift of time.
Here are a few ideas.
- Go on a walk.
- Buy them lunch.
- Take them to coffee.
- Take a workout class together.
Or my personal favorite, compete in a race.
Take home point…
- Give the gift of food.
- Give the gift of admiration.
- Give the gift of time.
