Not much. I might call a few clients to wish them a happy Christmas, but have found most people are so busy, a call is more effective after all the holiday hoopla. I do, however, send out a New Years greeting card to about 100 clients thanking them for their support in the past year and wishing them a wonderful new year.

We host an appreciation/charity event each year at our home and our clients/guests bring warm blankets for the local shelter.

This year, we found out a local children's hospital was in need of children's books written in Spanish so, we also collected books.

However, I have an eager young couple I’ll be out showing houses to on this Friday night before Christmas.

I send a special gift to those who did business with me this year.  This year I made Christmas Tree Ornaments and put a picture of the house they bought or the house they sold or a picture from the closing or final walk through. Something that would be a good memory for many years to come. So far it's been a real hit. Clients are raving how much they love the ornaments.

I also sent a Christmas card to the agents I co-broked with this year thanking them for a wonderful transaction and "Let's do it again!"

And I send out about 2,000 Refrigerator Calendars to clients who have bought or sold in the past 25 years.  That's my one big mailing per year.
