Along with those wishes, you can mention that if they don't have the online presence in your area yet, they might be missing on some of their sales - BAM! - pitch your development, marketing, hosting solutions.

You can either deliver it yourself from shop to shop (clothing, boutiques) or pay to have someone else do it. The best part is that it looks like a cool gift delivery rather than a flyer.

A local real estate agent in my area did a very similar thing (thanking the neighborhood for their "trust") and it was very effective.

Best,
That's a pretty cool and innovative idea I must say. It will make one stand out from the other ways of advertising their business or services.

As Travis you itself are into web development you can pretty well optimize your service from that perspective.
