What Freebies Make Good Bonus Order Gifts?
Of course, this might depend on what sort of craft you are selling. The good news is that if your freebie is a dud, at least if was free. It’s the thought that counts. I’ve never had feedback or read an online discussion from a customer who was upset about getting a gift, no matter what it was!
Gifts that go along with what you’re selling are nice. An extra chain is a welcome addition to a pendant. On a smaller scale, a square polishing cloth is a useful and thoughtful addition to jewelry purchases in general. If you’re selling materials, a little extra would be appreciated. Especially if I’m buying!
What about when you’re selling time intensive, one of a kind crafts or artwork? Adding general gifts like bookmarks or a magnet is a good choice. You can even make your business card into a magnet using peel and stick blank magnets. You can find these at Wal-Mart or any office supply store.
One of the coolest freebies I every received was a glass pebble with a happy face painted on it. A little card came with it that explained that it was a worry stone to rub when you need a smile. Goofy, but sweet!
