With the fourth quarter behind us, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to say


Well, the winter holidays and hectic fourth quarter schedules of 2011 are behind us.  Now is the time to jump start the new year (and first quarter sales) by tipping our hats to those customers, employees, and associates that make a difference in our day-to-day endeavors.


That’s just one reason why sending a business gift for Valentine’s Day is a great idea.


Time slips by so quickly, and often we find ourselves thinking, “I really should have…” or “I can’t believe I forgot to…”  This is true in marketing and promotions as well.  With all of the hustle and bustle of the fourth quarter, Valentine’s Day gifts are a great way to reach out and still make an impact.


Some people think that the fourth quarter is either the best or only time to take a moment and recognize their employees or customers.  This couldn’t be further from the truth!  By sending a gift of appreciation after the rush of the winter holidays, you are not only saying “Thank You” but your gift has a greater chance of standing out from the crowd.  Chances are, unlike during the busy holiday season when they may be getting gifts from a number of sources, your gift will arrive at a time when it won’t fade into the background.  Talk about standing out!


For this exact reason, there are customers that specifically choose to wait until Valentine’s Day to send their gifts.  They want an effortless way to show their gratitude, but feel that waiting until after New Year’s is a more effective way to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.

And don’t forget about self promotion.  We all know competition is fierce these days.  Making sure your name and image have retention throughout the year is easy when you start early.  Here at Maple Ridge Farms, we help our distributors by offering a large selection of gourmet treats that will arrive bearing your company name or logo and are guaranteed to leave a “great taste” in their mouths.  Many of our distributors report that their recipients are often asking where they can buy the same gifts.  Thoughtful, unique, and business savvy all at the same time!


So whether you are looking for a unique motivation to send your clients or employees a special treat, or you simply want to share the love at the start of a new year…Don’t forget to take advantage of the business possibilities Valentine’s Day has to offer!
