We win 2 national awards
We are delighted to announce that we recently received two American Graphic
Design Awards.
The winning pieces were “Rock On,” a greeting card created for Sequel Designs and licensed to the Hard Rock Café; and the brand and website for the Indiana Enterprise Center, created for First Capital Group.
“Rock On” was also recently recognized as one of a group of cards deemed “Best In Show—Greeting Cards” at the New York Stationery Show.
American Graphic Design Awards have recognized excellence in design for over 30 years. Selected from over 10,000 entries, winning work represents the best of design studios and ad agencies, large and small, from across the nation. Hope Begins will be featured in a magazine-format
design annual and on the magazine’s website in December.

Activate…gratitude!
As clients of Cairril.com know, we're firm believers in the transition of "customer" to "fan." That often comes through gratitude on the part of your customer. How to activate it? Read on!
• The intention behind your offering is critical to the activation of gratitude. Avoid benefits that appear to provide personal gain for the salesperson. (Think of your employee sending a customer to another store for a holiday gift you don't stock.)
• Provide a benefit when the customer's need is highest and the benefit provides the most perceived value. (Think of a spontaneous flight upgrade for a loyal flyer at holiday time.)
Give customers opportunities to reciprocate soon after providing them with a benefit. This "takes advantage of their high levels of gratitude ... and leads to cycles of reciprocation," researchers report. (Hand over a 15% discount coupon to that grateful customer.)
