Every special moment becomes unforgettable with the enchantment of gift-giving. While many individuals eagerly anticipate presenting gifts to their loved ones, others find themselves at a loss when selecting the perfect gift. Online gift cards have emerged as a solution to address people’s gift-giving dilemmas during various celebrations. https://lnkd.in/gJqcAm7Z #wordpresswebsite #wordpressdeveloper #wordpressplugin #webdesign

Can you relate? 🤣😬 Here's how to deal with anxiety around calling donors. ⬇️ The way to avoid anxiety is to: 1. Know what your donor is passionate about and interested in and be ready to present offers and ways for them to give that align. 2. Be prepared. Know how their gift is making a difference, and know where their money will go. 3. Use permission-based asking! Asking is a regular part of a major gift fundraiser’s life – or at least it should be. Whether you’re ready to ask for “the big gift” or you’re just looking for a next step, you want the conversation to go well. We have a FREE White Paper, "How to Use Permission-Based Asking™ with Donors" that covers this entire process from start to finish. Using this process, you'll have a lot less anxiety and your next phone call with a donor will go much smoother! Interested? Click here: https://lnkd.in/ec4Kk46C

Don't "stop, drop, and roll" just yet, here are three easy tips to navigate a financial emergency: 1. Leverage Community Assistance Programs Many local community programs provide emergency financial assistance for necessities like rent, utilities, and food. Research local non-profits, religious organizations, and government programs that offer emergency assistance. 2. Utilize Health Savings Accounts (HSA) for Qualified Expenses An HSA can cover a wide range of medical expenses, reducing out-of-pocket costs during emergencies. If you have an HSA, funds can be used anytime for qualified expenses. Review eligible expenses and keep receipts for any medical-related emergency costs. 3. Sell Unused Gift Cards You may be hoarding unused gift cards that can be sold for cash online. Sell them on reputable websites like Card Cash or Raise for quick cash.

Teacher Appreciation Week is a time set aside to celebrate and honor those individuals who invest in the education of our students. Teachers have profound impacts on individual people and on our community at large. I wouldn't be where I am if not for the formal and informal educators in my life. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!! Let's celebrate our teachers not just this week, but year-round. Looking for concrete ways to celebrate? As a former teacher, here are a few I suggest: - Share gratitude. Teachers don't hear it nearly enough. A kind email, text, or card could go a long way! - Donate to the classroom wishlist. Teachers come out of pocket way too often. Don't know what to donate - ask! - Speak affirmingly about teachers, especially around students. Those positive deposits make a huge difference. - Find out their favorite restaurant or coffee shop. Everyone loves a gift card!

This year is unique in that Thanksgiving falls on the LATEST possible Thursday (November 28 this year). This also means there are only THREE weeks and 5 days from Thanksgiving until Christmas.    All of this means you have less time to get gifts between two major holidays. How about you make it easy on yourself and get your gifts checked off in October? See why gift giving makes sense in this quick video! #isellcoolswag #workwithkristina https://lnkd.in/gGsDtiGp
