Do you ever struggle to create meaningful connections with your investors? Are typical corporate gifts like branded mugs and hats falling flat?

Then this episode of "Podcasts" is exactly what you need to perfect your gifting game and turn your investors into raving fans.

In this episode, Michael Blank welcomes John Ruhlin, the gift-giving guru and author of "Giftology,” to share insights on how thoughtful and personalized corporate gifts can significantly foster investor loyalty and generate referrals for your business. John sits down with co-host Garrett Lynch to discuss the underlying principles of his gifting strategy and its profound impact on building long-term relationships.

John emphasizes the significance of personalized, thoughtful gifts—such as custom-engraved knives with wisdom quotes—that leave lasting impressions and generate deep emotional connections. He lays out his proven system for successful gifting, including timing, personalization, handwritten notes, and involving the recipient’s family.

John’s innovative approach goes beyond mere kindness; it’s a strategic reinforcement of relationships that can yield substantial financial returns. He suggests that businesses should allocate 5-15% of their net profits to gifting as an investment strategy, not an expense.

Listen in to hear how Michael, Garrett, and their team at Nighthawk Equity plan to integrate John's strategies, moving away from generic gifts toward more personalized gestures that nurture meaningful connections with high-net-worth individuals.
