Saying Thanks In The Business World Without Forking Over A Ferrari

The business world is a fascinating place, and although college classes can help you gain industry knowledge, there’s simply nothing like experience to prepare you for excelling in business. Whether through internships or securing your first job, you’ve likely witnessed quite a bit of emphasis on meeting budget and doing all possible to reduce costs within the company, and well, you probably don’t have too much in your pocket just yet.

Yet, there are times when you want to say thank you to your interviewer and your clients once you’ve secured that job. We get quite a few questions from students and businesses on how exactly they should go about this, and we of course recommend our gift baskets, but we have a few other tips up our sleeves, too.

Less Is More

Tempted to really put out all the stops to make sure your interviewer remembers your name, or to impress that big client of yours? Before you get out your credit card, remember that small, thoughtful gifts are the most meaningful. Think about the conversation you had with the person who interviewed you or with your client, and what their interests are. Choose a small gift, wrap it in your company’s colors if it’s going to a client, include a personal note, and send it off to them. We bet they’ll be ecstatic over the gift and how well you paid attention to not only their account or your interview, but them!

Duly Noted

Think sending a thank you note to all of your clients is no more meaningful than sending out a mass email? Think again. Ask your company to print branded note cards, and write out personal thank you’s to your clients when needed. With email being a primary mode of communication, a client will be happily surprised to receive an actual paper note card in the mail! Click to continue reading…

5 Tips to Maximize Dorm Room Space

There’s no denying that dorm rooms are tiny. It’s sort of amazing that they can manage to fit two of everything (bed, desk, armoire, etc.) into those postage-stamp sized spaces, and the fact that you want to add more furniture seems crazy. And yet, how can you be expected to live without a mini-fridge, microwave, beanbag chair, and all the decorations that will make your dorm a home-away-from-home?

If you want to personalize your space but you simply can’t seem to find the room, don’t despair just yet. There are all kinds of ways to maximize your space and create the cozy, comfortable dorm room that will meet all your needs (both functional and aesthetic). Here are just a few tips to help you get cracking.

1. Dual-purpose furniture

Your room comes standard with two XL twin beds, but you want a couch, as well. Don’t blow your money on a piece of furniture that will never fit in your space; instead make the beds do double duty. With a durable coverlet and a mountain of pillows, you can easily turn your bed into a bench when company comes around. Then simply pile the pillows underneath the bed while you sleep. A clutter free desk can also double as seating if you throw your laptop in a drawer and place a padded bedroll on the desktop (as a bonus, it rolls into a small package when not in use).

2. Get proper storage

If you have a closet so full of clothes that it’s overflowing, consider a vacuum sealer. You’ll get bags for clothes you don’t use often (seasonal items and fancy dress clothes) that attach to a small vacuum device. When all the air is sucked out of the bags, your clothing will take up a fraction of the space it did before, leaving you more room to store the items you want out of the way.
