Send fun Valentine’s card for co-workers
One of the most popular Valentine’s Day traditions is Valentine’s cards! Do you remember the excitement of finding a Valentine in your school locker? There’s a way of replicating it!
Captivate your employees and generate good office vibes with fun Valentine cards. Encourage your team to express their sympathy towards their colleagues through online postcards that come with messages like “You make work much more fun” and “I may not love working on V-Day, but I love working with you!“. Cute, right?!
Use the Easypromos Scenes app as a card personalization tool; after spending just a few minutes to customize the application with your logo, you can send a direct link through email, work chat, or Whatsapp. Each employee can create a fun Valentine card, personalize it with a message of their choice, and send it to their favorite workmate.
Use an interactive prize wheel to make it a special day
Why don’t you host a V-Day breakfast? Grab some croissants, bagels, cookies, and fruit and hand out goody bags full of merchandise or product samples from befriended companies. Or why don’t you just generate some positive rivalry and excitement with an interactive prize wheel? Apart from chocolates, dinner vouchers and cinema tickets you can give away extra days off! Just tell us… Who wouldn’t love that?
For a better experience, the prize roulette can be customized with your company logo and colors. You can also choose how many prizes you want to distribute, as well as decide on the number of no prize segments.
Here’s a great example of a Valentine’s Day prize wheel. The well-known “He/she loves me, he/she loves me not” added a romantic touch to this corporate prize wheel. The red segments came with a prize, the black ones without.
