Give Thanks
Thank you: two little words that can make a big impact and difference
to your clients, family and friends. Convey your appreciation with cus-
tomized messages that will be cherished. Here are some crafty ideas to
get you started.
1 The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Purchase a card from an organization that means something to the recipient. Cards ThatGive.org directs you to more than 100 charities, including
LiveStrong™ and the Alzheimer’s Association®. Speaking
in Green Bay? Support the Make-A-Wish® Foundation of
Wisconsin. Sending
seasons greetings?
Choose from a variety
of holiday cards, including Holly Bird (shown)
designed by Naylea
Jacobo, age 9, for Duke’s
Children’s Hospital &
Health Center. Prices vary.

2 Voice Your Appreciation
Record your personal thank-you message
onto a CD. Or, if you’re feeling brave,
sing it! Then, use an online resource like
www.bighugelabs.com to create and print your
own custom CD art. If the message is for a client,
consider imprinting the CD with the client’s company
logo, and package it in a clear-cover jewel case so the
artwork is visible when the package is opened.
