Do you send them to valued guests? How do you determine if they are valued?

Last year I just did host for the year and will probably do the same this year. I am in the process of designing it on walmart.com.

I am wondering what the rest of you do?
 
I have in the past. I created a card with a whisk graphic that said, "I whisk you a Pampered Christmas."This year I sent Thanksgiving postcards, letting them know that I was thankful for their part in making my business successful in 2007.
 
I thought about sending a card to all my hosts this year... of course, I've only had 13 so far! lol

Here's the card I have designed. I wish I had room or a way to put on the picture that it is us at The Lady & Sons in Savannah, GA.

I am planning to send a Christmas card to all my hosts. I want them to remember me and to know I remember them. Many of them are family and friends, anyway. I usually don't send Christmas cards, but I will to hosts this year.

That's so cute Rae! I want to borrow that greeting, if I may!?!

I have sent my past hosts those biz calanders every year but want to cut expenses so maybe just a post card!?
 
I just ordered some of the cute postcards from Merrill last week, & got them yesterday already....I couldn't believe how fast I got them! I ordered 140; for all my past hssts & best customers. Cheaper than cards. I didn't really have the calendars in my budget right now, but was thinking of doing a host appreciation the first of the year & giving them a calendar then.
 
I sent handwrote thank you notes right before Thanksgiving. It included a magnet business card (really cheap magnets at Office Max with our discount) and a invitation to the open house I had this weekend. I also had a extra 10% off coupon for the open house. I think next year I may try to do more of an appreciation thing. I'll have to see what goes on next year.
 
I thought about doing it the other day but thought I may be to late. I definitely will plan on doing it earlier next year and send to this years hosts.
 
I did, and included a business card with label on the back for Free shipping on next order, expires January 31, 2008 (double points!!). Heck, I 'll eat the shipping for that!
