Have a Fun Closing Gift Tradition
Closing gifts are a fantastic way to leave a lasting impression and turn clients into lifelong referral sources. Instead of a standard bottle of wine, make your gift a memorable tradition that reflects your personality and brand. Here are some creative and fun ideas:
1. The "First Night Survival Kit" ?✨- Moving is exhausting! Give your clients a "First Night" survival box with essentials like:
- Toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap
- Snacks, bottled water, or a meal delivery gift card
- A candle or air freshener to make the house smell amazing
- A handwritten welcome note
- A personalized sign or doormat with their family name or "Home Sweet Home" is a great keepsake.
- Bonus: You can add your logo subtly on the back for a referral reminder!
- Create a customized map highlighting local coffee shops, restaurants, and parks near their new home.
- You can even include a gift card to a popular local spot!
- Frame a copy of their house key in a shadowbox with a note like:
- "Every key opens a new adventure. Wishing you endless happiness in your new home!"
- Give a 3-month subscription to something fun, such as:
- HelloFresh or Blue Apron (for easy home-cooked meals)
- Coffee or wine club
- Home décor or plant subscription box
- Fill a basket with locally sourced goodies, like:
- Coffee beans from a neighborhood café
- Handmade candles or soaps from a small business
- Local honey, jam, or treats from a farmer's market
- Give them a beautiful box to create a time capsule with:
- A newspaper from their closing day
- A letter to themselves to open in 10 years
- A blank page for family and friends to sign at their first gathering
- Include popcorn, gourmet snacks, and a streaming service gift card (like Netflix or Hulu) for a fun first night in their new home.
- If they're closing near the holidays, gift a custom home ornament with their move-in year.
- Give them a small "treasure chest" (a nice wooden or decorative box) and say:
- "Every time you refer someone to me, you'll get a special surprise inside!"
- Fill it with lottery tickets, gift cards, or fun notes whenever they send you a referral.
Creating a signature closing gift tradition helps you stay top-of-mind and makes clients feel truly special. Plus, happy clients = more referrals!
