Growing Company Keeps Turkey-Giving Tradition Alive
For many people, the holidays are all about gathering together to spend quality time with family. The first gThankYou Case Study looks at how a family-owned company founded over 50 years ago with just 35 employees, that has grown to over 15,000 employees in the U.S., has been showing gratitude for its employees by providing the centerpiece to their families’ holiday gatherings: a Thanksgiving turkey.
gThankYou Certificates are such an easy way to offer goodwill and communicate appreciation to associates. The Certificates fulfill a basic need. It’s a great model and, hands down, something I absolutely recommend other companies do for their employees.”

Manufacturer Finds Easy Way to Show Appreciation for Employees
Flour, sugar and butter might seem like the most essential ingredients for a baking manufacturer, but it’s really the people who work there that ensure the business’s success and therefore the focus of this next gThankYou case study. Recognizing the importance of its hardworking, essential associates, a leading manufacturer of baking products wanted to implement a process to express gratitude to them on Employee Appreciation Day in March — especially as they continued to work so hard during the COVID-19 pandemic — and throughout the year.
Our experience with gThankYou has been amazing. They provide excellent customer service, sharing detailed background on the process and security measures, and the process of working with them is super easy. ”

Government Health Service Promotes Public Health Programs With Unique Incentive
For communities to thrive, the people who live in them need to be housed, clothed and cared for. To promote public health in the communities it serves, a large government health service runs unique, confidential programs that each serve up to 1,000 participants each year. The programs provide support and incentivize vulnerable populations to complete certain tasks, like participating in a study, going to a doctor appointment, taking medication and following a treatment plan.
Senior management LOVES sharing the gift of a Thanksgiving turkey to employees – we’ve been doing it for decades. But when you grow over the years to multiple companies and over ten-thousand of employees – orchestrating frozen turkey distribution takes months of planning and is a logistics nightmare. I know, I’ve been doing it!
I can’t tell you how excited I was to discover gThankYou! Turkey Gift Certificates. With gThankYou everything is easier – it’s easy to order, delivery is quick, pricing is discounted, employees can shop at any major grocery store and buy what they want, and I love the free enclosure cards. Did I mention no more frozen turkey logistics!! Giving a turkey coupon is just so much more convenient than a frozen bird, and it’s better for recipients, too.
It’s such a relief to know we can give employees a gift of a turkey without having to tax them and still allow them to control when and where they purchase it, the size of the bird, and what holiday they can use it for.
I would recommend gThankYou to any company looking to gift their employees with ease and choice!!!
