We have done the occasional swag (Nike golf shirts, Underarmor Pullovers, pens, etc) but these are more promotional items from our marketing budget.We have done gift baskets for larger investors and don't underestimate the power of personalized handwritten notes/cards.The best "holiday gift" is the returns our investors receive (we are in the midst of 2 sales), but this year I am also thinking of a box of gourmet handmade pretzels dipped in chocolate, caramel and nuts that a small producer in the Philadelphia area makes (keeps with the Penn theme).

I plan on hitting this list every week for at least the next 6 months.I am looking for any advice, tips, and recommendations for what has worked and not worked when getting into cold calling on your own.

Any other tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!
