The art of saying thank you is something we in the floral business have the pleasure of assisting in throughout the year. Arguably, many more people participate in giving gifts as a way of thanking co-workers, family, friends and business associates around the fall and winter holidays.
At Narcissus we believe in making these gifts as personal as possible, whether in color or flower selection to best reflect the recipients taste or by adding personalized items to the gift itself.
When giving to family and friends, certainly the sender knows best. We will guide the sender whenever needed with suggestions or seasonal availability. When sending to a business or business associates there are a few guidelines many follow.
We hope you find these helpful hints useful when gifting to a business or business associate:
- Ensure timely delivery. Many businesses have abbreviated business hours around the holidays.
- Gifts are a reflection of the sender. Put your best foot forward. Include your businesses branded items when possible.
- If sending to an office be sure the gift is appropriately sized. (This pertains more specifically to gourmet baskets and edible gifts)
- Choose your words wisely. Professional gifts should be sent with a professional yet meaningful message.
- Be clear in who is sending the gift, so the recipient may send a proper thank you.
- Be clear on who is intended to receive the gift, especially when sending to a large office.
- Don't forget the support staff. If you deal with a secretary, assistant or support staff person as often or more than the manager or boss, a small thank you directly to those individuals will go a long way.
- Consider the religion or religious restrictions that may pertain to the recipient.
- Details count. Impressive or custom packaging will add to the perceived value of your gift.
- Choose Narcissus and be confident all of the above will be taken care of this holiday season.
