Employee appreciation day, the first Friday of March every year is an important event for businesses of all sizes. This special day provides employers with the opportunity to recognize and reward their employees for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It’s also a great way to boost morale and create an atmosphere of appreciation and respect. It helps you “build a tribe.” We talk about that here.
Employee appreciation day celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of each and every employee. It is an opportunity to show employees that their efforts are appreciated and that their hard work is valued. When employees feel appreciated and valued, it increases their job satisfaction, productivity, and loyalty. In turn, this can lead to a better overall work environment, higher employee retention rates, and greater job satisfaction.
It’s about bridging the Appreciation Gap
Employee appreciation day also serves as a reminder to employers that their employees are the foundation of the organization. Without their hard work and dedication, the business would not be able to run as smoothly as it does. By taking the time to recognize each employee’s individual contributions, employers are sending the message that they value their employees and acknowledge their hard work.
Employee appreciation day should also be used to create a sense of camaraderie and connection among the employees. This can be done by organizing team-building activities, having a celebratory lunch or dinner, or offering rewards and prizes. These activities help create a sense of unity among the employees and show them that their employer really cares about them. This is where Branded Merch can really come into play. We have created this curated shop for cool ideas to help you show your team you appreciate them.
Finally, employee appreciation day is an opportunity for employers to express their gratitude for the hard work and dedication of their employees. It is a great way to show employees how much their efforts are appreciated and to thank them for their contributions. It is also a great way to remind employers that their employees are the foundation of their organization and that they should always be valued and appreciated.

Be careful…it’s not for everyone. This week we feature the Thor 27 oz Stainless Steel Denali Travel Mug It’s hot right now. Watch the latest episode now!
Why You Should Consider the 27 oz Stainless Steel Denali Travel Mug

It has been a long 18 months of zoom calls, online interviews, and isolation. But now the time has come where in-person events are on the rise again! Most of us are very excited for these events to be back and we have a couple of helpful hints on preparing for these larger in-person events, once again.
1. Wash Your Hands
We might be mostly past the virus (hopefully), but it always good to make washing your hands a routine no matter what! We hope this is one of the habits we can hang onto moving into the future!
2. Check Your Display Inventory
It’s been a full year and a half since most of us have looked at our organization’s display, or even thought about needing them! Well, we are here to tell you, this is the time!
If your backdrops, table covers, and marketing materials have been in storage over that time, a lot of things can happen. You might have a new logo. The company might have updated its messaging. We’ve heard stories of mice getting into boxes and chewing holes backdrops. That is not what we call #marketingjoy! And you don’t want to learn that the day before the event. So, now is the perfect time to check inventory for event display items, or whatever other items you may need.
If you open them up and realized it’s time for a refresh…we got you. We have listed several different displays and options that will help you promote your brand at the next in-person event.
Why? The GeoMetric Display gives you the flexibility to create specific campaigns for your desired audience. Use each panel to tell your story through the combination of pictures, graphics, or text. It’s easy to change the panels allowing you to purchase additional panels for new products, services, or info.
Why? Unlimited design options from simple & clean on one side to intricate graphics on the other side. Also, you can create a great backdrop for photo opportunities.
Why? One less detail to worry about. You don’t have to stress about whether you have a 6-foot table or an 8-foot setup…you have both covered! It also looks classy, is durable, and easy to take care of.
Why? Capture brand awareness or communicate info from on-site events to use back in your office lobby. Easy to break down and set up. Foundation piece for any marketing campaign.
Why? We have been trained over the last year to go “stand on the mark”. Use this as a focal point inside an (open) display or help direct foot traffic your way. This is also a great place to market to those looking down at their phone!
Why? Not a necessity, but a professional and better-organized option than fanned out over a tabletop. Set up as help yourself or use as a tool in your presentation to reinforce the message. Like the retractor, displays can also be used in office lobbies.
So much has changed over the past year. We get that. But now that in-person events are making a comeback, you still want your brand to look sharp and professional. These display options will help ensure your organization is ready to rock when you get to see your customers face to face!
If you like any of these ideas, and/or have other ideas, please contact us at 740-622-7429 or at hassemanmarketing.com and we will be happy to help! And, to never miss another one of these (hopefully) helpful articles, sign up here!
