A great way to Tell Your Staff Thank You

It appears as though the art of giving thanks has been lost over the years. Posting a hand written thank you note used to be conventional for both professional and personal occasions, but now the majority of people believe it's enough to quickly type up an email with a short "thanks" before getting back to their busy day to day lives. Now don't take this the wrong way. I understand that the world is quite a bit faster paced than it used to be and many people barely have a second to sit and catch a break, but if you think about it, that merely gives you all the more reason to send a sincere thank you. Given that we've become less accustomed to getting a suitable thank you, it makes a much greater impact when we do receive one. It genuinely is a lovely surprise to see that someone went out of their way to say "thanks." I haven't even mentioned the influence it can leave on your business. By simply taking a moment to write a personalized thank you, you are able to express to your customer how valuable their business is to you. By developing personal friendships with your customers, you are ensuring their confidence and giving them a reason to do business with you as opposed to your competition. thank you treats gift basketIf I still haven't convinced you that delivering a thank you gift or note is worth the effort, why don't you consider sending something that takes virtually no time at all? Sending flowers or a gift basket from an online store takes about as long as sending an email, but sends a much more significant message. Gift like Godiva Treats Basket Do you want to say thank you?
