Client’s Day

Clients Day is an international holiday dedicated to customers. It serves as a reminder to businesses that clients are their greatest asset and deserve appreciation. Without customers, no company can grow, succeed, or generate sustainable profit. The holiday is observed annually on March 19.

History

Clients Day originated in 2010, when a Lithuanian company based in the city of Klaipėda was discussing how to mark its anniversary. The employees agreed that the most meaningful gesture would be to thank their customers, since the company’s success depended entirely on them. As a result, the first public congratulations to clients were published on March 19.

The idea quickly spread among other Lithuanian businesses. In 2013, the holiday was officially acknowledged by the President of Lithuania. Soon after, it gained recognition in neighboring Baltic countries and later in Russia. As a result, 2013 is considered the year Clients Day became an international observance.
