In this article, I’ll walk you through how to create a seamless, on-brand gifting strategy for your interior design business, including how to determine the perfect gifts, budget for them, and time them strategically.
Plus, I’ll share expert insights on why sending gifts at unexpected times (hint: NOT the holidays) can have a bigger impact.
Access the full article inside The DTS Files and ensure your client gifting strategy is aligned with your ideal clients and making an impact.
