When you start a new business, you can never be totally sure how things will ‘pan out’. I was confident in our ability as a creative business but we were after all entering a competitive online niche as a small business. By specialising only in personalised greeting cards and by staying small, we have been able to establish ourselves as a quality supplier who are totally customer focussed. From the off we wanted to ‘give a little back’ and so our association with LauraLynn was established and I have so say it was one of the best decisions we made. Our customers love it and they are delighted to see a donation made on their behalf go to such a wonderful children’s charity.
As a small business within a specialised niche it was difficult to predict how significant our donations would be but we took the view as Tesco’s constantly tell us that ‘every little helps’! So to break the mile stone of €50,000 within a few years is just incredible. A huge thank you goes of course to our brilliant customers who keep coming back and although I have no doubt that we do a good job for them, the LauraLynn association is a massive incentive that works for everybody involved.
The money raised helps LauraLynn to offer:
Short Stays – to give the family a break
Home Support – nursing care & therapeutic activities at home Family Support – music & play therapy, family camps, counselling, family fun events etc.
End-of-Life Care – in the hospice, in hospital or in the home
Bereavement Support – for parents, siblings, grandparents, family and friends
Our grand total is now €52,220.00 which is something we can all be proud of.
Thanks again to all of our customers for continuing to support Cedar Tree baby thank you cards. For more information on LauraLynn, please visit: https://lauralynn.ie/
