Thank you That Shows a Token of Appreciation

 It is very difficult to show unusual and sincere and distinctive ways of saying thank you to someone you value or endorse. To pay honor to their abilities and work by commending them for support. You want them to be aware of your appreciation what they have accomplished for you or for others or for the business. To recognize that is the first step. To let the individual realize you sincerely and truly appreciate them and acknowledge them is extremely important. Delivering thanks is not just for Thanksgiving anymore. You must acclaim and endorse the behaviors you want to see continue. So the first stage is to be aware of showing appreciation and acknowledging it. That does not mean going overboard all the time and having to give lots of gifts or money for every little thing. Research have found that people respond to acknowledgements of even the tiniest kind such as a nod or look of approval or an real pat on the back. Even a smile and a look of facial gratitute could be ways of endorsing self esteem and showing you just like and recognize what has been done or said. These phrases of appreciation and acknowledgment show tribute to the person and show that you value them. Saying thank you works. Now if you overdo it for every little thing it thanks and appreciation lose their value. It has to fit your personal type and must be genuine. Sincere gratitude and the word here is sincere is enormous. For a corporate praise of any kind is good but eventually and periodically you need to put your money where your mouth is and hand something as appreciation of services and recognition of gratitute. That token of appreciation could be money such as a raise or cash with a thank you note. And you have to mix it up a little bit too. If you know the person shops at a specific store or enjoys a particular coffee house or restaurant you could give gift certificates. They are always appreciated. This works if you also do not want to make a big issue or applaud out loud for everyone to see or hear. Sometimes you do and you want others to step up so they too will get those monetary awards. So the looks, the thank you words, the notes and the random gift cards work. If you feel you want something with more of a wow factor then consider an actual gift that wows. The problem with money or gift cards is that they are definitely appreciated but have an exact value and the amount given one employee can be perceived by others as a rating scale by what they get. My firm has small gift cards that are consistent for certain things then we started going to get plaques engraved and people displayed them for a while but are now removed and seem to be old hat to everyone. The secretaries said it is taking too much time to go out and shop for these prizes and that employees compare how much we spend on one compared to another. One of our secretaries found an Aurora based gift basket company that she now calls and has a gift basket or pail made up and delivered to us. It is so simple. Sometimes she just orders one of the baskets online from Baskets by Rita and tells them what to put on the card. More often recently she has been writing a note on the order or even calling and asking that the basket be creative. She just gives the price we want to pay and they put together a different gift basket crate box or pail every time. That way employees have no idea what amount we spent and theirs is unique. It is awesome way to say, "Thank You!- A Gourment Tea Basket." http://www.basketsbyrita.com
