The philosophy
Generosity is the currency of abundant relationships.”

As a business scales, creating meaningful one-on-one engagement only gets harder. What doesn't change is people's need to feel seen and appreciated. The number one reason clients leave isn't price or service, it's feeling like they aren't valued in the relationship. That's perceived indifference. You care. But do your clients, team and partners know it?

More importantly, do they feel it?

Relationships are the heart of business. And so often we forget to appreciate the very people who make what we do possible.

Uncommon loyalty. Abundant referrals. Radical growth. It all starts with making your people consistently feel how important they are, especially as you scale.

The impact

What happens when people feel appreciated?

How a pizza cutter got one realtor his best referrals

Football-season pizza night

A realtor didn't want another "just checking in" call. So as football season kicked off, his top past clients and their families got pizza night on him: a custom engraved Cutco pizza cutter, a pizza-night gift card and a handwritten card with a personal note, plus a P.S. asking them to text him when it arrived.

LOYALTY & REFERRALS
Texts and photos of game-day pizza nights poured in, and catch-ups turned into talk of referrals and upcoming moves.

How one engraved knife got a city's top CEOs to reply

Jacksonville Jaguars, via Ruhlin Group

The Jaguars wanted the top 100 CEOs in Jacksonville at a private evening with the team's CEO. Instead of another invitation lost in an inbox, each CEO was hand-delivered a custom-engraved Cutco santoku in custom packaging, two weeks before the event, with the invite tucked inside.

REPLIES & ENGAGEMENT
35% of these high-level CEOs responded and started a conversation. Standard direct mail gets 1 to 2%.

How one Christmas bonus made a whole team feel seen

Mt. Eaton Pallet, employee recognition

Owner Dwain Schlabach made Cutco part of his team's Christmas bonus. Instead of a gift card that disappears into the grocery bill, each employee took home something the whole family uses every day. It not only made his employees feel appreciated, but their spouses and families too.

RETENTION & MORALE
Employee turnover went down after Cutco became part of the team's Christmas bonus.

Meet Aron

Hi, I'm Aron.

Based in Cochrane, Alberta, and serving clients from Victoria to Halifax and Miami to Chicago. I've worked with Cutco since I was 19.

I was privileged to learn young that relationships are the heart of business. Today I work with businesses large and small to build custom gifting programs that appreciate clients, employees, strategic partners and more.

You get more than a gift. You get a plan for who to thank and when, and someone who makes sure it actually happens.

FAQ

Questions before you book.

Book a call with Aron
What does it cost?

The call is free. Gifts usually run $100 to $300 each, about what most businesses already spend on a gift card, basket or bottle. The difference is this one is still in use 20 years from now.

You can spread the cost over 6 or 12 months, interest-free.

Can I make each gift personal?

Yes. Every piece can carry your logo, the person's name, or a message like "Thank you for 10 years." You approve a proof before anything is engraved.

Why Cutco?

It's the tool people use most, in the busiest room of the house. Everyone eats, and food is family, so the gift becomes part of their home instead of a drawer.

And it doesn't have to be a knife. Cheese knives, shears, pie servers, garden tools and barbecue tools all carry your name just as well.

How long does it take?

Plan on about 30 days for your first order. Reorders are easy after that, because your engraving is already set up.
