People don't always tell you how they heard about you, and you are spreading the word by driving around. :) Best of luck!Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991071510108619107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-69207181232835740512013-01-11T08:54:40.405-08:002013-01-11T08:54:40.405-08:00I got vistaprint's large car door magnets with...I got vistaprint's large car door magnets with my company logo on it.

Agreed: some pens can look generic/boring. We've seen some super-cool ones, but they range in the $2/piece range, which might be a bit too high if you are ordering a lot of them.<br /><br />@May: thanks for commenting and great point. We might post about end-of-year gifts soon and love your idea about the English phrase book. We actually created something similar for German a few years ago and all our customers loved it. :)Judy Jenner and Dagmar Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991071510108619107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-43621775463355708062011-10-21T11:55:46.513-07:002011-10-21T11:55:46.513-07:00I'm curious, what kinds of end-of-the-year gif...I'm curious, what kinds of end-of-the-year gifts do you give to your best clients? This would be the first year I would do it, and I am looking for some good ideas.

Even though I think I rushed it a little because I need to change my e-mail address and add a web-site to cards, I like the service and the quality of product. As for the pens, I think it's a great idea, you just have to find a pen which is not boring or generic. I have a few ideas of my own, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-91447455106073270222011-10-16T10:15:14.052-07:002011-10-16T10:15:14.052-07:00@Emily: a bound leather journal is a fabulous idea...@Emily: a bound leather journal is a fabulous idea for those very special clients -- love it! We usually come up with one special item for our top clients at the end of the year as well, and a journal is a great idea!<br /><br />@Barbara: true, you have some time to think about promotional items, but sounds like you are already putting some thought into it -- great! Rina Ne'man has the best tchotchkes ever; she's been handing out these cool eco-bags at the ATA conference. We are the proud owner of several of these very handy bags.

But I have to say that I really liked a little notebook that Rina N. distributed at LocWorld a year ago. I am sure she designed much of it herself. While I like it, it looks like it was not a cheap item. Another item that struck me was the socks Kilgray gave away at memoQ fest in spring. I love stuff that is useful to THAT level, even if it has nothing to do with translation.Barbara Inge Karschhttp://www.bikterminology.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-30118256344444908002011-10-12T16:19:59.680-07:002011-10-12T16:19:59.680-07:00We actually sought a more expensive (at least to m...We actually sought a more expensive (at least to me), classy item, and purchased limited-edition for our very good clients. The leather journal has our company logo on the front, a loop for a pen, and a refillable book. All our clients love it.

I think it was about $10 and I love parading it around when I'm shopping and even more when I'm at the airport! I do not know yet if anyone has looked me up but for $10 I figure at least I'm having a good time, and as they say: you never know! http://twitpic.com/6orisfJennifer Bikkál Hornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303120128213682375noreply@blogger.com
