Thank You So Much

"Show appreciation to those who make your business possible: your employees." This is the lead-off slogan for a 2013 campaign entitled A Thankful Life being spearheaded by the Seattle-based gift and stationery vendor Compendium. The company's goal is to inspire the writing of 1 million thank you notes, and they suggest that you start by writing one to each of your employees.

Be Specific. Mention a contribution that your employee made to the store. Did they handle orders quickly? Did they address each customer with a smile? Personal details show that you notice and appreciate their efforts.Choose Strong, Positive Phrases. Go beyond a simple "thanks" with statements such as "Time is precious. Thank you for sharing yours." and "You inspire those around you."

Consider Adding a Quote. A thankful quotation can bring a touch of inspiration to your note. Examples include "A good person is a gift to the whole world." and "Some pursue happiness. Others create it."Most of their products are printed on recycled paper, which our customers consider a plus. Compendium was recently recognized as the Outstanding Philanthropic Small Business, and you can learn about their efforts to help the environment and their community in this short video.
