Among the many memorable moments I've had over the years, delivery days stand out. In the lead-up to the delivery, it's become a playful tradition with my customers; if they ask when their vouchers will arrive, they get a humorous 'day delay' in collecting them (just for laughs, of course!).

When I finally get the notification that the delivery is ready, I send out the message saying 'ready for collection,' and my door doesn't stop until they've all been picked up. Witnessing the joy on people's faces when they receive their savings cards, knowing that Christmas or a significant part of it is already paid for, is truly heart-warming.

One particularly memorable incident involved my best friend and me sorting out vouchers. One year, the postman mistakenly delivered only 10 envelopes instead of the 12 we were expecting. Determined to find the missing envelopes, my best friend and I chased the postman around our estate in his car. Eventually, we caught up with him and asked him to check his van, where we discovered the extra 2 envelopes had fallen out of his bag and were tucked away down the side. It was a hilarious and unforgettable moment that we still laugh about to this day.

Keep in contact with all your customers, even if it's just a quick hello; it always reminds them to stay on top of payments. Social media is a great way to talk about Park and how it works. Plus, you can earn commission on customers' orders for yourself. I have to say, Park is the best saving club by far.
