If you've ever eaten Dove milk or dark chocolate miniatures, you already know about the Promise. Inside the blue or red foil packaging, there lies Dove's Promise...an uplifting, positive saying much like a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant. Here's an example: "Try something new tomorrow".
Okay, okay...I've read some of the other blogs. I know some of you think the little sayings are pretty hokey; but I think there's something we can agree on -- Dove chocolate is really good. Their link is: www.dovechocolate.com/ Everyone who partakes of the candy from the bowl in my office loves those miniature chocolates.
So, indulge me this Monday morning. Here's today's question: What does your packaging say about your office?
Do you have an inviting entrance to your office? Do your clients have a positive or negative expectation? Is your office exterior drab or sloppy-looking? Have you thought about jazzing it up just a bit? Could you use a new "Welcome" mat? If you don't have one, do you need one? Maybe you could do a little decorating on the exterior to brighten things up a bit and improve your own office "packaging" that's not too expensive. How about a simple wreath decorated for autumn on the door?
