Introduction
Traditions are not just for families, they’re for teams too! Especially the teams that want to build a culture! When done correctly, holiday traditions can boost morale, strengthen team connections, and remind people that you care about them.
Here is how to build holiday traditions at your work:
Step 1: Build your gift around the emotion you want the recipient to feel.
If you want your team to feel hyped around your brand, choose an excitement-inducing selection of items to show you put care into your gift.
Step 2: Personalization is key.
Variable customization with names or writing a note to each employee can make someone feel like the gift was made for them, because it was.
Step 3: Turn it into a ritual.
Create a moment that your team looks forward to every year!
Step 4: High quality + staying on-brand = MASSIVE WINS
Pick high-quality products that represent your brand. Pro tip: If you don't want to receive your gift, don't send it!
Step 5: Celebrate it
Show teasers on socials, and do things to let your team feel like they are involved and included.
Step 6: Get feedback
Ask your team what they loved. The more you repeat your tradition, it will grow and evolve, just like your merch game.
Conclusion
Traditions don’t have to be complicated; they just have to be thoughtful. When you put care into the details, your team feels it. So plan the moment, wrap the merch, and make this year the one that starts your new favorite holiday ritual.
