When to use it

Use to reward loyal clients with better terms, acknowledging the value of the long-term relationship.

What it means

'Cliente storico' (long-standing/historical client) is a valued status in Italian business culture. 'Condizioni preferenziali' (preferential conditions) is the professional phrase for loyalty discounts or special terms. Naming the loyalty explicitly makes the gesture more meaningful.

Variations

In virtù della nostra lunga collaborazione, possiamo applicarle uno sconto del 15%.

By virtue of our long collaboration, we can apply a 15% discount to you.

More formal; 'in virtù di' = by virtue of

Per i clienti fedeli come lei, abbiamo condizioni riservate.

For loyal clients like you, we have reserved conditions.

'Riservate' = reserved/exclusive; emphasises privilege

Le riserviamo il nostro listino prioritario.

We reserve our priority price list for you.

'Listino prioritario' = priority price list; corporate term

Mini Dialogue

«Devo rinnovare il contratto annuale, ma i prezzi di quest'anno mi sembrano un po' alti rispetto alla concorrenza." «La capisco. Come cliente storico da sette anni, le offriamo condizioni preferenziali: uno sconto del 12% rispetto al listino standard e un accesso prioritario al supporto dedicato. Come le sembra?»

"I need to renew the annual contract, but this year's prices seem a bit high compared to the competition." "I understand. As a long-standing client of seven years, we are offering you preferential conditions: a 12% discount on the standard price list and priority access to dedicated support. How does that seem to you?"

Cultural Note

In Italian B2B culture, loyalty ('fedeltà') is reciprocal. Clients who have stayed with a supplier through difficult times expect — and should receive — recognition. A supplier who offers existing clients the same terms as new ones loses loyalty fast.
