You don’t have to spend big bucks just to show people you appreciate them. All you need is a bucket of sincerity and an affordable medium to express it.<\/p>\n

Gratitude can even be expressed for free as long as it’s personal and genuine.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the cheapest ways you can thank your fans:<\/p>\n

Send a personal e-mail<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sending<\/p>\n

If someone was being kind to you or if a bunch of people make you feel special, it wouldn’t hurt to send a personal message.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you write the correct names and you don’t recycle messages. The best way to do this is remember the specific act of kindness these people have shown you.<\/p>\n

Be specific.<\/p>\n

Just call to say “thank you.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"thank<\/p>\n

If you have their number, a quick call just to thank them (and nothing else! No promoting stuff whatsoever) is one nice way to thank people.<\/p>\n

Just make it quick and sweet. Even if you thanked them in person before, it’s always nice to have a follow-up.<\/p>\n

Just remind them of how thankful you are. It won’t hurt.<\/p>\n

Compose a sincere status or tweet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"I'm<\/p>\n

If you’re too busy to do any of the ones mentioned above, then go ahead compose a tweet.<\/p>\n

This only applies to fans and acquaintances. If someone gave you a big favor, tweeting to thank them is not so classy.<\/p>\n

Give small freebies to your loyal supporters<\/strong><\/h3>\n
