5. We would be lost without our receptionists!

Receptionists have an impressive ability to adapt! When the internet or phone lines are down, orders aren’t being shipped on time or any other common workplace issue arises, your receptionist helps maintain a positive interaction with your customers until things are resolved. Receptionists represent the companies they work for, not just with a smile and warm welcome, but by keeping the workplace in order.

A verbal “thank you” goes a long way, but on a special occasion like National Receptionist Day, you’ll want to offer more. Without the support of your front office staff, you might not be where you are today. Even though we are appreciative of our receptionists every day, we might not show it. So, on National Receptionist Day, surprise him or her with a custom wall plate or full color desk block. Custom name plates offer a commemorative way to set your receptionist’s name apart, and they help customers feel at ease as soon as they enter your place of business.
