Not only will you end up retaining a customer, you may even get new ones once word-of-mouth of your thoughtfulness spreads.<\/p>\n<p>It does not take much to say thank you to a valued customer. You could send a physical Valentine&#8217;s card with discount voucher from your store enclosed. You could also enclose a gift voucher for a couple of drinks at a local coffee house. If your store sells cosmetics or beauty products, send them some free samples. For those who are selling toys, send them a small soft toy with a personal note.<\/p>\n<p>For your most valued customer, you could choose to send a <strong>PERSONALIZED<\/strong> gift so that they really know that you appreciate them<strong><\/strong>. Send them some chocolates with a personal <strong>thank you note<\/strong> that includes your store&#8217;s name, logo and address.
