Hanukkah has begun and Christmas is just around the corner - have you sent out holiday gifts to your business contacts this year? If you haven't, worry not. A quick and easy, yet thoughtful, gift is donating to the Red Cross or another worthy charity. This is an especially timely gift with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts and rebuilding still underway. You can donate "In Honor" of your business contact and the Red Cross will send them an email or a snail mail card indicating that you've donated in their name.With the GSA scandal this year, companies that you interact with may be cracking down on being able to receive gifts of a certain value, so donating "In Honor" of someone can prevent you from breaking any self-imposed rules. Also, donations to qualified charities can be tax deductible.
Help your favorite charity and include your business contacts to by donating in their name. Happy Holidays!
