About Us

After starting her first business in 1989, founder Priscilla Coy-Monahan quickly learned that finding cost-effective ways to motivate and retain employees and clients was a challenge. Performance-based incentives and affordable marketing tools were not readily available, so she found her own way to accomplish this. After 16 years of experience and success in business, here are ideas and products that have proven to help you succeed.

These pointers will help you use the site most effectively.

Select a Theme – Themes are not only cost-effective; they can best express your campaign in the simplest way. For example, if you choose an icon such as birds or hot air balloons to symbolize your campaign theme, your slogan may be “Taking Customer Care (or Business) to New Heights in 2005”. A basic theme sets the stage to give spark to any event, launch a campaign, attract customers and clients at your trade shows, and provide motivation in fundraising or marketing strategies.

After you select your theme, keep it moving throughout your marketing plan – whether for a single event or a year-long campaign. Giveaways and gifts are very important in this process, and finding them from an affordable source is equally important. At the basic level, Community Builders offers a basic theme bag package that includes a notepad, pen/pencil set, chocolate wrapped in your choice of theme and two mints. Each comes in a frosted bag with gold sticker. They are a great way to introduce your theme at a price of $4. Another choice may be to choose a gift and have it custom wrapped in your theme of choice. So for “Taking Customer Care (or Business) to New Heights in 2005”, your gift can be wrapped in coordinating tissue or cellophane of birds or hot air balloons.

A great way to incorporate performance incentives or safety awards is to choose five gift options at different costs and award them to your staff or volunteers as they reach set milestones. Whether it’s growing a department or keeping L&I complaints down, performance incentives and safety awards are excellent ways to reward your workers or volunteers and keep your rates low.

These are just a few of the ideas that you can use for your business or organization. Community Builders can work with you and within your budget to help you achieve your goals. You can choose from our prepackaged themes, or let Community Builders customize a package for you!
