DHL DELIVERS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON TO U.S. TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
 

Express Delivery Company Partners with New York Communities for Annual Trees for Troops Charitable Program 
 
DHL is partnering with local communities in New York to deliver live holiday trees and decorations to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East through DHL's annual Trees for Troops charitable program. This program has collected and shipped thousands of holiday trees, lights, ornaments, menorahs and messages of support to the brave men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain and Kuwait since 2004. 
 
Local businesses, organizations, private citizens and nurseries have joined forces with DHL in donating and delivering 750 trees and holiday decorations overseas. THE NEW YORK official send-off events hosted by DHL in New York was on December 3rd. 
 
Some of the companies that teamed up with DHL for this send off included Dee's Nursery in Oceanside, New York, the New York State Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and other members of the local New York metro community who donated hundreds of trees and holiday decorations to the program. "Santa Sacks" filled with thousands of holiday cards written by local school children were sent along with the shipment. The December 3rd send-off began at Dee's Nursery followed by the movement of the shipment to DHL's gateway at John F. Kennedy International Airport. 

The event moved inside to a room adorned with Holiday Decorations.  WL Concepts & Production, Inc. a Signage, Graphics and Display firm provided full holiday regala for this event.  Their expertise in visual merchandising paid off with a beautifully decorated Large Christmas Tree.  This one large tree was decorated with specially displayed Teddy Bears, unusal ornaments, and an attention popping display of DHL Trucks with loads set up on a track around the tree to highlight DHL.  Five smaller trees included DHL model planes as part of the decorations.  Several Wreaths and Garland also adorned the room.  These visual displays and holiday decorations are just one of the many projects completed by the gifted and talented team members of WL Concepts & Production for DHL.

DHL launched its annual Trees for Troops program in December 2004, when Jim Adelis, a New York businessman whose son was stationed in Iraq at the time, reached out to DHL to assist in transporting a shipment of trees to the Middle East. In November and December 2004, with the help of the U.S. Army Reserve 77th Regional Readiness Command, Dee's Nursery and the local New York metro community, DHL delivered two shipments featuring a total of 135 trees and holiday decorations from JFK to troops stationed at Camp Anaconda in Balad, Iraq.

Let WL Concepts Revitalize Your Organization

by wlconcepts 2. December 2009 07:50
Customer tastes change quickly and organizations that don't regularly update their look may get left behind. The balance between staying fresh and alienating loyal customers is a tricky one, but a challenge WL Concepts is prepared to help with.

Create a Fresh Public Face


Organizations may not realize how detrimental an outdated look can be. Often the problem is not obvious. Instead it amounts to a steady drop in revenues as customers turn to more modern rivals for their needs. A company that doesn't revise its visual displays now and then is going to seem old fashioned to the buying public.

Invigorate your organization by giving your visual displays a face-lift. A bold new image for your organization sends the message that you are an industry leader. It attracts a generation of new customers and drives up traffic in your business. This lucrative business investment has the added benefit of giving new energy to your employees as you create a more pleasant and attractive working environment.

Maintain Your Current Image of Quality

Consider carefully what kinds of changes you want to implement. If you make revolutionary alterations to your business's visual displays, it may not seem like the same organization even to loyal customers. You run the risk of endangering client loyalty as they lose touch with the familiar aspects of your company.

Determine what aspects of your organization's visual identity must be preserved. Your company logo is an obvious one but there are likely to be others. It might be the fonts used on your signs, the decor's color scheme or any number of other possibilities. Keeping these elements in your redesigned image appeals to existing customers on an unconscious level, making them feel comfortable with the changes.

Let WL Concepts Design Your New Look


Our many years of designing and manufacturing visual displays has taught us a lot about the subtle effects of even small changes to a company's decor. It is amazing how much another color, a change in lettering, or a slightly different arrangement of elements in a display completely change the feeling it creates in observers. These are concepts that must be learned through extensive experience.

WL Concepts brings our experience to your design project. If you aren't sure what type of visual displays you need to accomplish your goal, we can create the entire design from scratch. On the other hand if you already have a complete concept developed, we will be happy to manufacture it as directed or to offer you advice to make your great design even better.

Now is the ideal time to revitalize your business. As our country moves out of this economic downturn, an updated company image sends the message that your organization is poised to enter a new era of success.
