Flowers, Candy and Vinyl Banners
Flying home from a long vacation or a demanding business trip is tough. People in airports always seem to have short tempers and little patience. I'm a limo driver in New York City and I spend most of my days at the airport and have therefore heard millions of stories about adults throwing temper tantrums in airplanes. I used to laugh at people when they told me stories about how they lost their temper. I learned very fast, however, that patronizing my clients would do nothing to help me advance my business.
After dealing with one too many angry customers, I started paying attention to strangers' faces to see if I could figure out what kinds of emotions people felt while at the airport. Most of the faces I saw showed a mixture between indifference and annoyance, but every now and again I'd see someone who was happy and euphoric. I commonly saw these happy faces on family members, old friends or young lovers who were reuniting after, I assume, long periods of time spent away from each other. As an experiment, I began to greet my clients at the airport as if I were greeting old friends. I became known as the limo driver who also provided newspapers and hot tea. Lucky for me, my research paid off and my company is now the most profitable limo service in the entire Northeastern United States. I want to share my success with you, so keep reading to learn three wonderful ways to greet your special someone at the airport.
TRADITIONAL GIRLS LOVE CANDY, FLOWERS AND A CARD
The traditional route may sound kind of boring, but trust me, I've never seen a girl upset that her boyfriend bought her a bouquet of flowers or a nice card. You have to realize that since these are gifts, they are always unexpected and it's that element of surprise that people find so special. It's okay to lack creativity because, at the end of the day, it's the thought that counts. The best part about this gift is that it doesn't require a lot of money or effort but still makes a huge impression on that special someone.
COME ON! GET THAT GIRL SOME BALLOONS!
For those who are a bit more outlandish and like to get attention, a great way to make a statement with your airport greeting is to buy a big bunch of multi-colored balloons. You can even personalize your balloons with little sayings to make your greeting that much more special. Believe me, you will be a hit if you greet your special someone with a bunch of balloons.
CUSTOM BANNERS ARE THE ULTIMATE WAY TO GREET THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE
My personal favorite method of airport greeting is with a banner sign. A custom banner requires slightly more preparation on your part, but as long as you go to your vinyl banner maker a day or so before you go to the airport, he will be able to get you squared away in no time. I like to personalize my vinyl banners for each person that I pick up from the airport, but you can design your banner sign to say something generic so that you can use it over and over again. Also, unlike flowers or balloons, a banner sign is easy to take care of and can last forever. I designed a for my son when he came home after spending a year in Europe, and that custom banner is still hanging in his room to this day!
I hope you will try one of my recommendations the next time you visit an airport. Remember, balloons and flowers are great, but make the biggest statement of all!
