If she's interested in yacht racing, for instance, and you find a piece on it in the New York Times, why not send it to her ? Yes, this takes a bit of work, but it also communicates to the client that you see her as an person with individual interests, and not as just another potential project or sale.

I send, or try to send, handwritten notes every week. Sometimes it's just to say hi and that I'm thinking of them, and other times it's for something specific. I send these to past clients and customers, and they never fail to elicit responses and a new piece of business or two or three. I like the suggestion of an offer of some sort with a deadline for that offer - thank you for that! Those 2 simple little words can pack a powerful punch!

Being caring will increase your business and they will be pleased with your customer service. A thank you doesn’t cost anything, this makes people feel better and shows you care.
