Prioritizing Employees

IDEAS: Any company who is looking to raise the bar on employee engagement.

City Ideas Architecture & Design has a 90% employee retention rate. Their management team credits the high retention percentage in part to their ongoing efforts of showing appreciation to their employees. From doughnut days to sales incentives and quarterly branded swag drops to each employee – they make appreciation a top priority. Messaging is carefully thought out and designed to share a combination of teamwork and pride in what they do.

  • Promoting teamwork with messaging on a bag they can take to and from the office reminds employees that they are all working towards success together
  • Every architect needs a pen and pencil they can use to officially sign off on plans – a gift of high-quality writing instruments is the perfect addition to this swag drop.
  • Early mornings on the jobsite require a tumbler that employees could take on the road, to the office, or anywhere in-between

IDEAS: Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Auto Shop

Treemate Coffee is a growing coffee franchise that focuses on building
“tribes” of loyal followers through grass-roots style marketing and rewarding
those who help them to achieve their mission of fair trade, diversification

In order to build their following, Treemate built an online loyalty
shop where their customers can exchange purchases,
donations and good deeds for exclusive promotional
merchandise as a way to reward, recognize and create
“belongingness.”

  • When out at public events, or sponsoring meet-ups, Treemate takes “coupon pens” branded with information about their affiliate program and where to sign up. They also have higher-end metal pens that they keep on hand to distribute in their stores to regulars.
