According to USA Today, business and professional events increased 1,009% in one year (April 2019 \u2013 April 2020). Companies have embraced \u201cvirtual doesn\u2019t have to be distant\u201d very well in bringing people together with real, authentic experiences that just so happen to take place online. And the trends show we can expect online events will continue to play a big role post-pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Bagley has also embraced virtual and while we continue to research and grow in this arena, we have successfully delivered Virtual Appreciation gift programs for companies and organizations whose teams and customers have pivoted to the new normal.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-84834\" src=\"https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01-2048x1583.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-01.jpg 2475w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>Crescent Solutions looked to Bagley to create a gift kit that would serve as both a personalized touch for customer holiday gifts, as well as a New Hire Welcome Kit for new employees. Creating a set personalized box labels and note cards with different messages served them well. Ordering in bulk for the year reduced costs and served two audiences with a single program strategy that Bagley sourced, kitted and shipped.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>A few more unique examples of Bagley\u2019s ability to deliver a appreciation directly to employees are AutoNation&#8217;s 2020 Holiday Gift and Ferman Auto Group&#8217;s Holiday Gift Program.<\/p>\n<h6><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-84837\" src=\"https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-1536x1187.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02-2048x1583.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bagleybp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GOING-VIRTUAL-APPRECIATION-ART-02.jpg 2475w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/h6>\n<h6>AutoNation has employees nationwide and Bagley was in charge of producing a thoughtful gift for men and women.

Special occasions like Christmas and Valentines Day became a little more special as employees received a little special something in the mail, and were so touched by the thoughtfulness of the gift and message that they turned to social media with praise for their employer \u2014 a true company that puts &#8220;family first.&#8221;<\/h6>\n<p>This \u201ccurve ball\u201d year has been challenging for all of us. The Bagley Team strongly believes in serving people. Customers, team members and potential clients.
