Hi all -

Does anyone give gifts to your AD during holiday seasons as a way to say thank you and to maintain a good relationship with them? Curious what's everyone's thoughts.

RHIII · 9 April 2019, 12:36 PM

Well - my AD is also a good friend - and every so often I’ll bring in a nice bottle of wine.

Really had nothing to do with watches - etc just a long friendship.

It should work in the reverse way.
The AD should offer gift to you ....

yellowfinger · 9 April 2019, 12:41 PM

The new norm is making me think of how AD relationships should be managed.

ShingaMC · 9 April 2019, 12:46 PM

This is so wrong for normal people and understandable for WIS. Personally, I do not like this idea. You gotta beg to spend money.

Never in a million years! Even if I had $1,000!

rowdy3 · 9 April 2019, 01:11 PM

$2,000 limit for each employee that they have.

WhiskeyKoffee · 9 April 2019, 01:19 PM

Zero chance in sbell. Why in the world would anyone do this?

jimcarver · 9 April 2019, 02:01 PM

Not a chance. It seems too desperate to me.

Please have my sanity checked when I start rewarding shop keepers for selling luxury goods to me.

enjoythemusic · 9 April 2019, 02:46 PM

Sure, if they gift me the GMT Pepsi i called about literally seconds after it was announced. Still waiting on the call from Mayors.

Thanksgiving is 7+ months from now. I don’t think I would plan that far out even for my wife’s gift!

Waste of a good thread..
As pointless as how long is a waiting list

jimcameron · 9 April 2019, 04:04 PM

I give my AD a new car every year. This year it was a Jaguar XE Project 8. I get whatever watch I want, as often as I want.

glamorama · 9 April 2019, 04:08 PM

Only if you are trying to date her

997 · 9 April 2019, 04:31 PM

Your AD should be “begging” you to spend your HARD EARNED MONEY, you shouldn’t be begging your AD to LET you spend your HARD EARNED MONEY.

Kenny Powers · 9 April 2019, 04:37 PM

I usually take the AD's mother out to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again.

Apheaven · 9 April 2019, 04:40 PM

Yes....my credit card.

I'm thinking of giving all the staff an around the world holiday all expenses paid, and a brand new Mercedes of their choice. Maybe a jet ski too, if the individual is into that sort of thing of course. For the manager, probably a new house in the location of his choosing.

Apheaven · 9 April 2019, 04:45 PM

I ask them if they would like me to put their name down on my list, but can’t promise when they will ever get that call...it could be many holidays later, if at all.

So I am supposed to give a retailer "gifts" so I might be able to give him money in the future?

Wow

scurfa · 9 April 2019, 09:25 PM

It’s the other way around where I live!

The AD should be lucky to have you as a customer, as you’re the one lining their pockets, not the other way around. If anything, they should be getting YOU a holiday gift in the form of the watch you want.
