    Everyday events and milestones are great opportunities that open the door for communication with the people who matter to your business. These personal, meaningful touch points will go a long way toward strengthening relationships with customers.

    Say Thanks — Send a thank you card to customers after a purchase or referral, or to simply thank him or her for being a loyal customer. Consider including an incentive in your thank you card, such as 10 percent off the next purchase.

    Welcome Customers — Have a new customer? Be sure to welcome him or her with a welcome card — you'll make the customer feel good about choosing you.

    Celebrate an Accomplishment — Send a congratulations card if a customer recently won new business, got a promotion or had a major life event take place, such as a marriage or the birth of a child.

    Show You Care — Offer condolences or care when a customer goes through a difficult time by sending a sympathy card or a care and concern card to say, "I'm thinking of you."

    Recognize a Career Milestone — Send an anniversary card to a customer who is celebrating a work or career anniversary.

    Wish a Happy Birthday — Be sure you keep track of customers' birthdays. Then, send them a birthday card on their special day.
