I enclose proper laundry instructions to keep the garment looking best. I enclose a business card and a short note thanking them for their patronage. I have the note ntyped out, but I try to sign all notes myself or my wife . I think hand signing is extra work, but it shows the customer you are aware of them. .... JB

Hi. The little extras I give with my products are good communication, excellent customer service and a big 'thank for your purchase'.

If someone places an order for multiple products, I will enclose a badge, or keyring with the order. A small token to say thank you.

Absolutely include something for free... if even a sticker... it is free marketing if it has your brand on it. You should always include your information on your stickers. Website or myspace... even a phone number if you want - remember - everyone looks at bumper stickers.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a bumper sticker. I think they are going out of fashion (here in Vancouver at least).

Hi. I print on vinyl, then use a UV coating to protect.

I use standard inkjet ink, but it gives them a useful life of over 12 months.

Your refund has been placed in a bottle along with a note addressed to you and tossed out to sea. Please be sure to check for it next time you are at the beach. Allow 7-10 working days for delivery."



My other idea is to have stickers with my web address on them made and then place a few of them in the box attached to a note reading:

"Important Warning Please Read:

Attached you will find 5 special stickers. DO NOT throw away or let these stickers just sit around your house. You must pass these stickers on to 5 of your friends. If you fail to pass these stickers on then the first time you wear your shirt it will begin to shrink around your body constricting blood flow thus leading to unconsciousness and possible brain damage. The last person to ignore this warning now sits in a padded room all day watching re-runs of 3 stooges. You have been warned.
Jaycen, the sticker idea is better than the refund idea. The refund idea sounds kind of offensive, but the sticker wording just sounds funny.

My business is still small, so I send a personal Thank You note to all customers with a sticker in the same design as the shirt that they bought.

i really like the idea of sending them a discount voucher for their next purchase. Will have to look into that one!!

you could create a tag with the discount code on it. so that when they get it, it's on the tag, with the code and the website so that you dont have to do a bunch of extra printing and it's advertising at the same time. Plus then it seems classier rather than having a discount voucher added in there like a coupon.

When I order things online, I dig getting the extras. I figured I would do the same, start with some stickers, maybe move up from there. Everyone liked stickers, and it's like free advertising (well, depending on where it's stuck at, lol).
