03 · Make it personal
Change only what matters to this person.
Keep the main idea and quality consistent. Change these details so the send is accurate for the person receiving it:

The work or project being recognised

A gift that fits the person’s preference
04 · How Nudge handles it
We keep every person and every package matched.
For each person, we keep one checklist with their name, message, gift, address, approval, and delivery status.
Nothing is printed or packed until you approve it. Before shipping, we check that the right letter and gift are going to the right person.
05 · What success looks like
The person understands why you chose them.
The employee understands why their work was seen and valued.
Do not judge this only by the number of packages sent. Check that the right person received the right message, in the right form, at the right time.
