The 3 Reasons We Love the Bamboo Large Cutting Board with Silicone Grip
High Perceived Value: The best gifts are the ones where the recipient thinks you spent more on them than you actually did! This solid cutting board looks great, so people think it costs more than it does.
It Lives In The Kitchen: When you give a quality kitchen item, it lasts and lasts. And the kitchen is where you want to be to build relationships with your brand.
Environmentally Friendly: Not only is Bamboo an FSC-certified material (meaning it is responsibly produced), but 1% of the sales of this product are donated to environmental non-profits. So you can give a great item…and feel great about it.
So that’s why we love this Bamboo Cutting Board for our Hasseman Marketing Product of the Week! Want to learn more? Click here to start shopping today.

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.
