Corporate Cartoonist Offers Companies The "Gift Of Grin" To Keep Their Employees And Customers In The Bag

    BISHOPVILLE, MD, December 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cartoonist Jenifer Jurden and her corporate cartoon character Jurdy officially launch Business holiday greeting cards and gifts for organizations to help keep employees and customers motivated through this tough economic holiday season.

Jenifer Jurden who is also known as Chief Humor or "CHO" now delivers quick-witted, engaging Jurdy cartoon gifts and holiday cards custom fitted for the season that's got Corporate America grabbing Jurdy to help them combat the worst workplace morale this Country has seen.

While many business owners, CEO's and executives are scurrying to keep their heads above water during this recession, Jurden is helping them to offset declining morale with cartoons that motivate through Jurdy's comic relief. A longtime corporate executive at MBNA and Bank of America, Jurden managed hundreds of people over the years in the corporate environment. As such, it became abundantly clear to her that the most effective way to get your customers and employees alike to remember you is through increased humor and comic relief... particularly during the holidays when people want to feel positive.

Jurden states, "There is no better time for a company to give fun gifts that people will remember. Humor opens the door for much needed comic relief and if a company can make their customers smile and feel good, they will be remembered by that customer after the holidays. Standing out from all the traditional gifts and cards is a real opportunity for a company to make a positive psychological mark on their customers and employees alike. My experience is that this can greatly impact loyalty which impacts the bottom line".

Jurden has seen firsthand the bottom-line benefits of using holiday humor in business, particularly when it comes to employees. "Once employees can experience a moment of laughter brought to them courtesy of their company, they find a renewed energy and objectivity that allows for continued exceptional performance into the new year".

Indeed, Jurden's offer to help corporations give creative cost effective corporate cards and gifts is taking her cartooning business to new levels. Through Jurdy's website, www.jurdy.com visitors have immediate access to the Santa Jurdy portal through which they can order e-greetings, "e-greenings" for the eco conscious and Jurdy gifts ranging from hysterical mood charts to clothing to Jurdy's book... and beyond.

But Jurdy's corporate holiday offerings come with another gift for business owners - custom Jurdy work. By naturally and quickly shifting employees' focus from that of a struggling economy, lay-offs and overburdened workloads to increased happiness and the holiday spirit, Jurdy raises the engagement of employees and customers alike through "made to fit" custom Jurdy gifts and cards for corporations that want it all in the bag. Jurden states, "if you want your company theme, name and other fun touches in your Jurdy gift or card, we can collaborate and Jurdy will deliver!"
