Recognizing Employees

We often hear the following statement, “With the tough economy and unemployment up, I bet the recognition business has fallen off dramatically”. Fortunately, this is simply not true. The reality is that the decision to eliminate or scale back employee recognition during tough times would be shortsighted. When a company has made cutbacks and is down to their “core” group of employees, by not recognizing them during these times, they run the risk of losing their most valuable employees as labor markets begin to open up. Today, companies are thinking about recognition more strategically and are aligning their employee recognition programs with their business goals to survive long-term.

Constructing a recognition program does not have to be complicated, it does have to make sense to the participants and be tied to measurable goals. These goals keep everyone on track and provide a target for measuring results. We design programs for years of service to specific corporate goals.

Consider adding a recognition program to your company’s employee package and see how the results improve performance.

They’re Used- Post-it Notes have a wide acceptance and usage rates. People know what they are and how to use them. Think about how many colors you have for different uses. Now is your or another business advertising on them?

They’re Recognizable- Tie your company name or brand to the Post-it brand. Post-it brand means quality and value to a worldwide office and home consumer market.

Long Lasting and Circulated- Post-it Notes “stick around” for weeks or months after receipt and use. This keeps your message visible and communicated even after the product is gone. They are an interactive product that people reach for time after time. They are passed on to others as a part of their natural use.

Why Buy Calendars Now

Half of the year 2011 has passed and if you haven’t purchased your advertising calendar for 2012 you shoulld. Here are 5 reasons why.
1- Save Money- By buying your calendars now you can save money over waiting until the last minute. Some of my calendars offer discounts for early purchases.

2- Best selection- All calendar styles are in stock and ready to be imprinted and placed in storage for a specific ship date to you. Late in the year lots of styles run low of inventory and you may not be able to order the style or quantity you need. Custom styles take longer to produce and end of year orders get backed up in production. Order early and guarantee your selection.

3- Free Storage- Once you calendar is ordered we print and place in storage for your specif ship date. No charge.

4- Peace of mind- Calendars will be ready to ship on your scheduled date. Not backed up in production with late orders.

5- Be first- one goal in using calendar advertising is to get your calendar into your clients and prospects hands first. This way you have a better chance of getting your calendar used and your message in front of them for the next year. Many calendars have a December first page so that it actually gets used when it is received. Plan your calendar shipping/ distribution to arrive no later than Thanksgiving.

Calendar advertising is one of the least costly methods of getting your message in front of clients and prospects. The wall calendar is king and retains its regal spot of exclusive household real estate- namely the kitchen. The entire family uses the calendar for planning and notes to each other. At work it is different. In th eworkplace calendars can serve for shift planning, event planning, working out timelines as well as personal uses.

Computer calendars are useful and popular but nothing can replace a wall or desk calendar.

Buy your company calendars now and save.
