Sunburst Oranges Can Bring Happy Customers and Satisfied Employees

Happy employees mean higher productivity. Yes, It’s that simple.

Employees are your most valuable resource. So? Give ‘em some motivation. For every bright idea, money saving recommendation, or act of selflessness done in betterment of the company your employees should be rewarded. Use rewards to promote a culture of increased employee engagement and recognition.

If rewards work for employees think how they can affect customer retention.  The size of your customer account can give you a profitable guide to the size of their reward.

Sunburst can give you a very different type of reward from the typical gift that other companies may be giving out.

We are all familiar with the old adage that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach applies to people everywhere.

Yes, food is one of the ways you can show someone (like your customers and employees) that you care for them. But is food the only way to a man’s heart? 

Or does it simply make the man notice her? Does food have the power to decide the future course of a relationship? How could food be the only deciding factor? It is one of them, maybe. But obviously, a man has to like so many other things in a woman before he falls in love with her.

If for a moment I believe that this archaic adage is true for a moment, does it mean that the day the meal is not up to the mark, the man will shun the provider? 

If this was indeed true, then all men would only want to marry women who are chefs. And when a man goes to meet a girl for the first time, instead of asking her “Tell me a little about yourself,” or “What are some of your likes and dislikes?” he will produce a long list of dishes he wants his prospective bride to prepare. Maybe a reality show will spring out of it: Cook for a Husband, where prospective brides will cook for a man in a series of culinary tests and the winner gets to marry the guy and continue to cook for him the rest of his life.

But, a gift that comes from your company that is delicious will be appreciated by your customer and employee alike. Sunburst Oranges has all the great items that will be a gift that will keep you top of mind.

Sunburst Oranges and Christmas Bells

If you have ever watched the Christmas movie It's a Wonderful Life, a 1946 American Christmas fantasy comedy-drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra, based on the short story "The Greatest Gift", which Philip Van Doren Stern wrote in 1939 and published privately in 1945. The film is now considered one of the most popular films in American cinema and due to numerous television showings in the 1980s has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season. You are no doubt familiar with the quote that Zuzu Bailey says: Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.

Bells, especially Church Bells, have traditionally been associated with Christmas for a long time. In the Anglican and Catholic churches, the church day starts at sunset, so any service after that is the first service of the day. So a service on Christmas Eve after sunset is traditionally the first service of Christmas day! In churches that have a Bell or Bells, They are often rung to signal the start of this service.

Bells play an important part in other areas of celebrating Christmas. Some people probably picture Santa’s reindeer with bells draped over them for decoration. Santa might also use bells to help find the reindeer in the dark or in the fog or snow.

And bells have always had a place in Christmas songs. The famous Christmas hymn I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day began as a poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the 1860’s. The poem was actually about the tragedy one felt during the civil war.

In some churches in England, it is traditional that the largest bell in the church is rung four times in the hour before midnight and then at midnight all the bells are rung in celebration.

In the Catholic Church, Christmas is the only time that Mass is allowed to be held at Midnight. This is because in the early church, it was believed that Jesus was born at midnight, although there has never been any proof of this! A lot of Churches have midnight services on Christmas Eve, although not every church will have a mass or communion as part of the service.

In many Catholic countries such as France, Spain and Italy, the midnight mass service is very important and everyone tries to go to a service.

In Victorian times, it was very fashionable to go carol singing with small handbells to play the tune of the carol. Sometimes there would only be the bells and no singing! Handbell ringing is still popular today.

The Hershey company has a commercial that debuted in 1989 and they continue to run during the holidays that the Hershey kisses get in on the handbell act. See on YouTube http://youtu.be/m9L-_EMuGRU

The Wizards of Winter also do some beautiful handbell Christmas performances as well. One of their YouTube shows are http://youtu.be/USFTQBycjmU?list=PLjRLQvH6Ze69y3z9YD3ZQ772uWsTF04cm
