7 Ways to Make Someone Feel like a VIP: Have a little fun! It should go without saying that the gift we give someone should bring them enjoyment. But how often is purchasing a gift for a client, employee, or friend just another thing we check off of our list for the day? If we aren’t having a little fun in finding that great gift, they won’t either. A person who receives a gift with the “wow” factor is a gift that they actually enjoy. There are many wonderful ideas that we may have, but if the person doesn’t really like it – well, that’s…awkward. Giving a gift is just one of those things that can be a big hit or a big flop…I know, I’ve been there. I think we’ve all experienced being on both sides of gift exchanges that didn’t really have the response we would have planned. Buying a great gift for a client or other special VIP doesn’t have to be stressful, though. It only takes a little behind the scenes work to find a gift that will be enjoyed. If it’s a great business gift you’re looking for or you just aren’t sure what your particular VIP likes – don’t be afraid to ask… Is he a coffee drinker? What is her favorite dessert? People love being asked about themselves! Your “VIP” will be touched that you knew or remembered that they love chocolate or that they don’t… You make someone feel like a very important person when you find out what they enjoy. Your VIP will remember that you took the time to find out those little details and it makes all the difference. They will remember that you’re the gal or guy that actually asked them what they liked or better yet – found out from another person in their life and took the time to ask.
