A few days ago, I gave you my take on the importance of giving Christmas gifts to your best clients, referral sources, bank people, etc.
I went on an on... and even gave you a few suggestions for websites that contain some great ideas.
Despite preparing the newsletter the night before and researching all the websites, I left out the best Christmas gift you can give a Coptic friend, relative or colleague who owns their own business:
A Membership to the Coptic Chamber!
A membership to the Chamber is, without a doubt, one of the most valuable gifts you can offer someone. It shows loving and caring for them, their future, their business and their family.
(Thank you to Founding Gold Member, Fady Anise, for pointing out this great idea to me.)
It definitely beats a bottle of cologne...
It's sure more thoughtful than a gift card...
And it's absolutely more useful than one of those "ugly" sweaters...
What Do Some Members Say
About Being a Member of the
Coptic American Chamber of Commerce?
"I have used advice from the Coptic Chamber to help me recognize and train the talents that I have and we have managed to improve our customer service and sense of urgency. In return, our reputation has improved and we are slowly building up our work volume and hence, the revenue." -Peter Meawad, Pharm.D., CPh.
It's a great networking initiative and Nader Anise sends a lot of valuable information for all kinds of business to help them grow in many different ways. I'm mainly getting loads of great ideas, but honestly, I'm not having enough time (resources in general) to use these right..." -Mina Michel
"Being a member of the Coptic Chamber of Commerce has not only opened networking and new business opportunities, but also lead to gaining new friends and advocates. I love the idea of the Coptic community supporting one another and thanks to Coptic Chamber, there's ease of access for clients to discover the service you're providing." -Monica Galla Iskander
"Mr Anise provides a world-class level of mentorship and marketing strategies. He consistently shares his priceless experience and knowledge with us. The newsletter has been of great aid, nourishing my marketing ideas and business mentality." -John Solyman
"Nader's strong grasp of the
ins and outs of marketing impart a value that far exceeds that of the nominal membership fee. Moreover, he is generous with his time and willing to help in any way needed. Personally, I've benefited greatly from his knowledge of video and email marketing. Membership in the Coptic Chamber is worth it's weight in (Egyptian) gold!" -Steve J. Shalaby
"I enjoy all the knowledge, sale pitches, communication pitfalls, do's/don't in business relationships, and many more very useful business related knowledge nuggets. I make it a point to read all the newsletters sent by Coptic Chamber. In a world of a lot of useless information around us, I personally can vouch that it's been a time well reading Coptic Chamber Newsletter." -Adel Riyad
And I have many more of these that I'll probably share sometime soon.
In the meantime, whether your loved ones are on the naughty or nice list, show them you love them by gifting them a membership.
