Their choice. Give clients custom BizGift cards and pay gift value only when they activate. ![Team BizGift](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/183b84022a0cde362910218654f5075d) [Team BizGift](https://bizgift.com/blog/author/bizgift) ![Custom BizGift cards give recipients their choice of merchant](https://bizgift.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BizGift%20-%20Mock%20ups-8.png?width=2000&height=1429&name=BizGift%20-%20Mock%20ups-8.png) ![Custom BizGift cards give recipients their choice of merchant](https://bizgift.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BizGift%20-%20Mock%20ups-8.png?width=2000&height=1429&name=BizGift%20-%20Mock%20ups-8.png) A holiday client gift should feel like it came from someone who knows the relationship. That starts with your message, but it also includes what happens after the gift arrives. Can the recipient tell who sent it? Is it easy to understand? Can they choose something they want? BizGift combines your company’s branding with recipient choice. Custom plastic or digital cards let you deliver a recognizable thank-you while giving recipients access to available national merchants in the BizGift marketplace. ## Start with the reason for your thank-you Before choosing a card design, decide what you want to recognize. A long-standing client relationship, a first project, or a thoughtful introduction each gives you a different reason to reach out. Use that detail in a short note. “Thank you for trusting our team with your project this year” feels more personal than a generic holiday greeting. Keep the gift centered on appreciation. A recipient should be able to enjoy the thank-you without feeling that a meeting or purchase is expected in return. ## Give your client room to choose Choosing a single store for every client means guessing at everyone’s preferences. With BizGift, the recipient chooses from the merchants available in the marketplace. Your brand identifies who sent the gift, while their selection makes the experience their own. Match the delivery format to the relationship. A plastic card can accompany a handwritten note or an in-person visit. A digital card can fit a relationship handled primarily online. Review your recipient information and the delivery process before launching either format. ## Understand when gift value is paid **You don't pay gift value unless they activate.** Card costs and deposit requirements are separate. You can maintain a small deposit balance rather than paying every card’s gift value in advance. Plan for the value of every card you distribute to be activated. Your budget still needs to cover the gifts you have offered. Review current pricing and deposit arrangements as you build the program. ## Make the next step easy Use a recognizable sender name, a clear explanation of the gift, and the official activation instructions. Have someone available to help if a client has a question. After distribution, review activation activity alongside replies and support requests to understand the recipient experience. Start with a manageable group of clients, a consistent gift value, and a personal message. A thoughtful holiday program begins with making your appreciation clear.
