In our last post we talked about how for most of us our office becomes our home away from home. It's a place that we can personalize. Showcase our unique personality. With a little bit of effort, we can turn our bleak workplace into a happy, inviting place!
Knowing that people have the need to personalize their work space, why not help your customers, prospect, and employees out with some really cool promotional items? The more useful and unique, the better the chance they will display it proudly on their desks. The'll love what you gave them, you'll love that your brand is visible, and everyone wins.
There are an endless number of products available to personalize a work space, but I’ve delved through the masses and found some of the essentials for you. To help you decide what would be valued most, we divided them into categories of what everyone needs in their office to create a comfortable space.
Check out this list of the top five categories of office essentials to make a work space feel like home:
1. PLANTS
Adding greenery to your office is the number one way to make it feel more like home. Research has even proven that plants lower workplace stress and enhance productivity!
