Thank you to everyone that actually answered my question.  I appreciate it.

 

As a few of you noted its not practical to do this manually.  I've been in buseinss 16 years and have hundreds of past clients. 

 

As far as budget, this will be your most effective dollars, not sure what you are spending your money on, but being in touch with past clients is hands down the best source for repeat and referral business.

 

If I can spend a half day and reach 300+ past clients Im going to do it.

Sorry, I never in thirty years used a service.  When I want to give gift I always make every effort to customize the gift to the person or persons I want to thank.

I did send monthly and or quarterly newsletter either print or email.  Today I use e-postcards created by my company

I don't send gifts to prospects or clients. A few magnetized note pads a year with my business card is about the extent of it.

Cutco (the knife company) has very nice client gifts. There was a folow-up company called Personal Marketing but I am not sure if they are still in business.
