Understanding the Social Effect of Ribbons

From awareness and awards to wedding and event decorations, all ribbons have one thing in common: they create a social atmosphere. Ribbons are a perfect way to create fun. Whether it be part of a craft project or using them for decorations at your next party, they inevitably accomplish the same things. They drive your need to socialize. And this is an important aspect of ribbons.

To understand why all ribbons are social, ask yourself the following questions.

finding the social aspect and necessity in your ribbon usage

First, picture the world without ribbons. Now ask yourself why this would affect you and how it would impact your social life. Perhaps it doesn’t affect your daily life, but the overall quality of life would diminish. We don’t mean to state that without ribbons life is pointless. We only mean to state that ribbons spice up our lives. Take gift giving into consideration. What is your reaction to a present that isn’t wrapped? We all want to receive a beautifully packaged gift because we all want to feel appreciated. In this case, the social need for ribbons is to make someone feel special.

The next question you should ask yourself is where you would be at any given event without ribbons. Most events have decorations for the tables, backdrops and other pieces to get attention. Without ribbons, how would these social events look? No bright colors or fun ornamentation would make for a boring party. Yes, the disco ball would still be there, but what about the streamers and table runners? Ribbons make a party more social and exciting.

Another question you need to ask is how you would feel about excelling at a sporting event or academic achievement and not receiving any recognition. Without badge ribbons or award ribbons, we would all feel a bit left out, possibly even that it was a waste of our time from the get-go for even participating. Ribbons fill that social recognition that we all crave.

Other ribbon uses include a variety of arts and craft projects, commemorations, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. They are also presented to honor service members as well as given or worn as symbols for causes and issue awareness.

So, join in on the fun! Ribbons are entertaining, cheerful, fascinating and they create the perfect finishing touch for projects, crafts and any event. Make your life social and full of ribbons today!

Merry Christmas from Our Desk To Yours!

Coller Industries enjoys spoiling their employees! And we all love accepting it, especially at the annual Christmas party!

Now, don’t get us wrong. We care about our customers too. And part of that caring means that we are always giving back to our clients and our local community. But, it also means that we are regularly returning benefits to our employees and trying to make work as fun (and productive) as possible.

So, every year Coller Industries invites all the staff and their families to an annual Christmas party. This event includes lunch, games, presents and wonderful conversations! And this year, we had a special treat of local juggler Marcus Wilson.

Marcus, Funny Man Who Does Tricks
(Marcus found out long ago) that as long as he was on stage people seemed to enjoy his obnoxious antics. In high school, while working at a restaurant, he learned to juggle with rolls and oranges and fell in love with useless tricks and odd skills. At the age of 22, armed with a handful of these tricks and a desire to entertain, he began doing shows. About five years later, he began performing in comedy clubs. Since then, he has been making his living performing.

As per tradition, the Red Lion Hotel in Salt Lake City hosted the Christmas party. This has been a favorite venue for our annual party for many years. The hotel had an excellent buffet of food for lunch including prime rib and salmon for the adults and macaroni and cheese with chicken fingers for the youngsters. And don’t forget the desserts: cheesecake, chocolate cake and pumpkin pie were all there!

Each year Coller Industries also provides an employee Christmas gift that always manages to contain a name tag! Because, well, we just love name tags! This year all the adults received mugs with our logo on them and a name tag in the shape of either a bell or a tree ornament. Each mug had a handful of candy included. And all the kids who were there received a present chosen just for them.

As employees, we would like to give a special thank you to Coller Industries.

And especially the Coller family and our office manager, Eboni, for providing such an enjoyable activity for their employees. And here’s how we say that thank you!
