## Challenge: Making VIP Customers Feel Truly Important 

A national car repair and maintenance company was celebrating its 25th anniversary and wanted to send special thank-you kits to each district sales manager’s top 10 fleet customers.

These customers came from a wide range of industries, including construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. After seeing a similar kit that we had created for another client, they knew that Proforma Durkee was the company to turn to for an innovative, well-designed thank-you gift for their valued customers.

The goals included the following:

- Make the VIP customers feel truly important
- Reflect and reinforce the brand
- Use the anniversary as a branding moment that would remind people about the company's history and deep experience in the industry 

## Solution: Creating Awesome Client Thank You Gifts

We created custom thank-you kits shaped like tool boxes that we knew the recipients would love. The boxes were designed with a realistic aluminum-diamond print. With our expertise in creating original thank-you gifts, we carefully selected the perfect gift items to place in the boxes: branded tape measures, High Sierra Multi-Tools, and Subway gift cards. Despite the tight deadline, we were able to have the boxes assembled and ready within two weeks.

## Results: Happy VIPS

The client was overjoyed with the final product. The thank-you gifts were well-received by the fleet customers, and the client was impressed with the care and dedication that we put into creating such a perfect, thoughtful client appreciation gift. We look forward to working with this client again and continuing to provide them with creative solutions.
