Just one year ago, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Creekmore Marketing, a major milestone for our journey. Milestones are an important part of a business's growth, success, and community outreach, and it’s important to recognize and celebrate different milestones as your business achieves them.

At Creekmore Marketing, we recognize and celebrate many milestones throughout the year to help us build an excellent company culture and recognize the people who make our work possible. With 11 years of history, people, and goals, we have a lot to celebrate and want to share ways you can celebrate your business’s achievements, too.

Identification and Recognition

One of the most important steps for celebrating your business’s achievements and milestones is to identify the milestones you, your employees, and your community care about, especially since some can be industry-, community-, or business-specific. Below are some types of milestones that can apply to many types of businesses:

Anniversaries (Big and Small)

Anniversaries are some of the most recognizable milestones in any business and can range from the company overall to individual people. Many business owners and CEOs recognize the following anniversary milestones for their businesses:

• 5 Years
• 10 Years
• 25 Years
• Every additional 25 years (50, 75, 100, etc.)

Anniversaries can also extend to individuals within your business. Often called “work anniversaries,” people like to receive recognition for their time at your business. You can work this into an internal message or email for your business, a post on your social media, and a flyer that goes into the customer side of your store to recognize some of the people who make your business possible.

Completing Large, Long, or Integral Projects

Another milestone that’s worth celebrating is the completion of large projects. Large projects can be the cornerstone of many businesses, and recognizing their completion and the hard work to get there is integral to good morale in your business and ongoing momentum to accomplish even more.

For example, suppose you’re a business that provides painting services and have a customer ask you to paint the walls and ceilings of a 40-floor building. In that case, that is a monumental job. Completing it and recognizing the difficulty can create a sense of relief for everyone involved and empower you, your employees, and your business to do even more.

Exceeding Company, Professional, and Personal Goals

This milestone is perfect if you love sharing business goals with everyone in the business. For example, wanting to hit a certain amount of revenue and exceeding it by a large amount is an excellent time to celebrate. If you provide an ongoing monthly service, recognizing and celebrating when you retain a certain number of clients over time is also valuable.
