How to Use a Fruit Arrangement to Land New Clients

Right now businesses are having to compete harder than ever for business, and a simple fruit arrangement can be the edge your business needs to win new clients from your competitors. When it comes to landing new clients many businesses know that giving gifts, personal attention, and great service are the keys to signing clients who will stay with the business for years. Unfortunately since the economy has still not totally turned around from the recession of just a couple of years ago many business owners can no longer afford to treat potential clients to nice dinners or buy them extravagant gifts in order to win their business. A delicious fruit arrangement is a cost effective gift that your business can afford to send potential new clients to convince them your company is the right company for them.

You can get bright and sweet citrus fruit baskets in dozens of different combinations, so you can send a personalized gift basket to each new potential client. Or, if you want to continue to grow your own business brand, create a custom fruit arrangement and give that out to every potential client you can. Once you have chosen a fruit assortment that you want to use there are several possible delivery methods that can help you get the client to choose your business including:

Distributing the fruit Santa style – When you show up for a sales pitch bring a citrus fruit assortment with you. Distribute the fruit to the workers in the office or place it in a break room or conference room and let them know it’s there. Not only will you be winning over the client, you’ll be winning over the client’s employees who may have a lot more influence in the business decisions than you know about. Treat the staff well and it will pay off in the end.

Sending a follow up fruit arrangement – Another option is to send a citrus fruit arrangement after you’d made your pitch. Clients that may be on the fence about choosing your company may decided to choose you after a fruit basket full of healthy and delicious fruit shows up at their offices.

Sending a fruit arrangement to get the pitch time – If you want to aggressively pursue a client, or if you have been trying to get a meeting with a particular company and keep hitting a brick wall you can send a citrus fruit arrangement, usually oranges and grapefruits, to get the company to take you seriously. Once you have the appointment it’s up to you to create a great sales pitch and presentation, including fresh fruit.
