In our Mary Kay office we are gearing up for the New Year and working to ensure that our office is running like a well-oiled machine. While we pride ourselves on efficiency there is no greater joy for us than making sure each and every one of our Beauty Consultants feel important. They are the cornerstone of our business and each one is a unique individual but when you are blessed with 350 birthdays a year we needed to come up with a great idea to honor each while being able to cost-effectively ship out birthday gifts to them.

At our Christmas staff luncheon our boss, Vicki Auth, National Sales Director with Mary Kay,  had the fantastic idea of creating a birthday card that does more than just celebrate the recipient but can bless those around them too! In the past we used the “Who I Am Makes a Difference” ribbons in training sessions and retreats but she thought we could incorporate the ribbons as their gift. The ribbon lets them know how much they mean to us while allowing them to share their joy with others.

In the card we created they get two ribbons, one for them to keep and one for them to give away, as well as the ribbon story. Once they give their ribbon away we encourage them to share their own personal ribbon story with our office.  We then will select one story to be featured in our monthly newsletter.
