Inspiring Awards

Awards are made to inspire and recognize those who deserve it. However, few awards actually do inspire passion, excitement, and pride from their recipients or those around them. Especially since awards are regressing from unique and high-quality to cheap and easy to get.

Nowadays, awards are ordered from a catalog – filled to the brim with glass, acrylic, or trophy cup pieces varying in size, color, and price. Clients place orders and forget about them until the day of the event. The awards are given away, and then the cycle starts over again.

What does it matter what the recipients do with their awards? They can show it off or throw it away – who cares – as long as they keep doing what you want, you’ll keep giving them these awards.

Ouch.

Unfortunately, that’s become a common mindset of many corporate companies - just keep buying the same-old stuff because it works.

Although today is a little late for anything big, you may have time to pick up a cake on the way into work. And to some, those who are appreciation-starved and absolutely deprived, that might be enough. But I doubt it.

February 28th is National Tooth Fairy Day!

Posted by Kristina Hublar on Feb 28, 2020 8:00:00 AM

Do you remember what it was like when you believed in the Tooth Fairy? You likely would excitedly place your tooth under your pillow, then force yourself to go to sleep.

When you’d wake, you would immediately check under your pillow to see what the tooth fairy left for you.

Those emotions of excitement and surprise were a unique experience. But you don’t have to leave those early school days and childhood beliefs – no, you can bring those emotions to life for your hard-working employees.

DYR: Certificate Holders

One of the most common forms of recognition is a certificate. Whether for school, business, or a non-profit, people love being recognized.

Despite the need for certificates, they tend to get damaged, bent, or crumpled. It’s all too easy for certificates to look unprofessional, which will hurt the whole point of presenting the certificate.

Love the Craftsmanship

Posted by Kristina Hublar on Feb 4, 2020 8:30:00 AM

Estimated Read Time: 3 Minutes


Craftsmanship – although this term meant honor, pride, and unparalleled skill in the days of old, that description and way of life seems to have faded away with the coming of factories and automated systems. When you look around now, you mainly see products made on a production line - barely touched by human hands and rarely given more than a second thought.

Posted by Kristina Hublar on Jan 14, 2020 2:18:00 PM

Estimated Read Time: 4 Minutes

We started seeing last year that people are wanting experiences more than physical gifts. The “experience generation” even became a common label.
