We Have A Lot to Be Thankful for This Thanksgiving!

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, our family at Presenta Plaque has a lot to be thankful for, including our great customers!

For all of you who have ordered plaques throughout the years, we thank you! We also hope you will keep us in mind heading into the New Year.

If you own a business, such as a restaurant, a Presenta Plaque is a classy way to display a write-up in the local paper and a certificate bragging about a great food inspection score.

Don’t forget about your employees. When they go the extra mile, what a great way to recognize all of their hard work than with a plaque? Be sure to include the employee’s name, date and/or date they started with your company, the company name along with an award title.

In addition to presenting plaques to employees, make duplicate plaques so you can prominently display them for customers. It’ll send a strong message you care about your staff. You could even do a customer appreciation day where you offer discounts, displayed on a plaque at the front, or recognize loyal customers by presenting them with a plaque.

During this season of giving, you might want to recognize that special volunteer. Thanking volunteers is not only good manners but a great way to build relationships. When their friends and family members see their Presenta Plaque, it could also encourage them to get involved with your cause and volunteer and/or donate.

Think about people at your church. As part of the congregation, you might want to do something nice for a person in charge whether it’s the minister, priest, rabbi, or someone else on the administrative staff.

Of course, there’s always going to be special occasions such as the birth of a new baby or baby dedications, weddings, anniversaries, or retirements. A plaque is a nice way to mark the special day! 

Going into the New Year, there are plenty of reasons why you should order a box of plaques from us.  Order today!

Ways to Help Those in Need

“Never worry about numbers.  Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.” ~Mother Teresa

March is Red Cross Month and the American Red Cross has been around since 1881, providing relief to victims of disaster and helping people prevent, prepare and respond to emergencies. There are many ways to support the Red Cross, such as giving blood, donating food and clothing, and volunteering. For more information, visit their website.

Along with the Red Cross, what other ways can you help? All year, there are people struggling to stay warm, keep hydrated, and provide for their families; Presenta Plaque wants to help you help them! Here are the top three ways to assist those in need:

  1. Donations including food, clothes, water, and blankets
    Here is a great list organizations provided by Oprah.
  2. Volunteering at local shelters

Give Back to the Community

Think about the best Holiday you have experienced with your family and how much joy you were filled with. Vacations, gifts, big dinners, and family games and movies are ways some families spend their holiday vacations.

Sadly, the holidays are also a time we start thinking about those who are unable to have what we do. It’s the season that you see more people volunteering at food banks, hospitals and even animal shelters.  There are a lot of toy and food drives happening that allow families to experience a better Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. Doesn’t it feel good to see a smile on a child’s face because you gave them a warm meal and some new clothes?

Giving back is a great thing to do all year long, but the holidays tend to bring out the charitable side in most people. How did you brighten up this holiday season for someone else? The amount of joy that fills your heart is endless.  Here are a few ways you can give back during holidays:

  • Donate to a charitable organization
  • Invite an elderly neighbor or someone who lives alone to join your celebration
  • Deliver a meal to a family in need
  • Visit patients in hospitals
  • Send a care package to a soldier
  • Join a church or school group that does community service projects
  • Adopt a pet
