We have a couple of hundred customers - this year we have scaled way back on the budget for Christmas gifts / cards. We will send cards to about 80 of our most active / promising customers and only about 40 of those will get a gift of chocolate truffles with a small note.
In years past when times were good, we would spend as much as $50 for a good gift to give a customer who bought a significant amount of stuff from us.
And vendors that we would buy from (in some cases as much as $500k worth of product from several different vendors) . . . they used to send out things like a whole smoked turkey or a big sausage & cheese box or smoked salmon or stuff like that. Now we rarely see anything more than a card.
What if anything do you do for Christmas? What do your vendors send you?
