# Statement Greeting Desks ‘Hello Buttons' is a Cheery Way to Start Any Work Day By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-06-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-buttons References: [poppytalk.blogspot](http://poppytalk.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello-buttons.html) & [superduper.co.za](http://superduper.co.za/lucky/) Now, not every workplace begins the day with miserable employees. Even if they did, the “[Hello Buttons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-collection)” project could probably put a half-decent smile on their face. This arts and crafts arrangement of buttons (looks like no work got done that day, except, of course, the sign) is a cheery way to greet everybody who [walks through the front door](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meet-greetpro). Two co-workers decided to embark on this [button-filled assignment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beau-mccall) which looks like a hefty, time-consuming job to say the least. But hey, in the end you can’t help but smirk at the result. Well done! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cheerful Office Decor:** Opportunity for companies to invest in decor and furniture that creates a welcoming and cheerful environment for employees and visitors. - **Arts and Crafts DIY Projects:** Opportunity for businesses to encourage employee creativity and engagement through DIY projects and team-building activities. - **Personalized Customer Experience:** Opportunity for businesses to use personalized greeting or branding displays to enhance customer experience and create a memorable first impression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Furniture and Decor:** Opportunity for companies that manufacture and sell office furniture and decor to create innovative and creative designs that add value to the workplace. - **Human Resources:** Opportunity for HR departments to create and implement DIY activities and events to boost employee morale and engagement. - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to engage customers and create a positive shopping experience with personalized and cheerful greeting displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Workplace Productivity Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busy-tag.md) - [Anti-Distraction Workplace Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busy-bar.md) - [Korean Game-Inspired Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-desk-accessories.md) - [Smiley Clothing Wall Hooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsahook.md) - [Virtual Office Communication Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-office-communication-system.md) - [Beach-Inspired Desk Trios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskterior.md) - [Daily Inspirational Quotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-better.md) - [Interactive Meeting Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toku.md) - [Digital Sticky Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlystack-reminder.md)
