You provided us with some of the best custom logo cookies I have ever seen or tasted - I got many compliments! They were a hit with all of my customers and my co-workers who did not order any were upset they missed out . I want to thank you for the prompt and efficient service. I was very concerned about the cookies arriving in good shape. Your packaging was perfect and you even sent a few extra. Thanks again. Debbie  </p>

<h2>Using Edible Photo Gifts For Personal Branding</h2>
<p>We at 1-800-Bakery.com have discovered that our edible photo gifts such as our photo cookies, photo cakes, and photo chocolates can be used as a valuable &#8220;Personal Branding&#8221; tool!<br />
Examples of Edible Photo Cookies</p>
<p> <br />
What is &#8220;Personal Branding&#8221; and why is it important? Personal branding is the process by which people and their careers are marked as brands. The personal branding concept states that success comes from self-packaging. It marks the way you differentiate yourself from others.</p>
<p>Personal Branding is important because the business world has changed dramatically in the last few years. Gone are the times when hard-work and dedication meant financial stability and a &#8220;promised&#8221; pension to retire with. Instead, todays workers and job-seekers must use all the tools available to them in order to stay above their competition.</p>
<p>That is where our &#8220;Edible Photo Items&#8221; can be helpful in creating your personal brand. While most job-seekers will send a &#8220;Thank You&#8221; note after a job interview, you can be the one who stands above the crowd and make quite an impression by instead sending a few edible photo cookies with your picture and a brief message transfered directly onto the cookies. You will instantly put a &#8220;face&#8221; on your resume.</p>
<p>While the many &#8220;Thank You&#8221; notes are assured to wind up in the trash can. Your &#8220;Edible Photo Thank You Cookies&#8221; will rather be stored in the memories of the decision makers. You have with this small gesture distinguished yourself from the others!<br />
    See Our <a href="http://www.1-800-bakery.com/Cookies/Decorated_Cookies/+/24_Personal_Branding_Cookies.html">Personal Branding Photo Cookies</a><br />
Our edible photo cookies, cakes, and chocolates are not only powerful eye-catching personal branding tools, but they are also incredibly delicious. Go beyond the competition and try our edible photo items in your job search. They also make a great gift to give to a friend or loved one to help them exceed in todays job market.</p>
<p>Photo cookies can be a great personal branding tool that will differentiate you from the rest. When you brand yourself properly, the competition becomes irrelevant. says Dan Schawbel, the foremost personal branding expert for Gen-Y. He is the author of the bestselling career book &#8220;Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success (Kaplan, April 2009).</p>
<p>Chef Steve, owner of 1-800-Bakery.com a leader of on-line gourmet bakery goods says,&#8221; I am always looking for new, cutting edge ideas on how best to serve my clientele. If my photo cookies can help one person get hired in todays difficult job market I&#8217;ll consider our idea a success!&#8221; Chef Steve adds,&#8221;If you know someone who is job searching help them out with a gift of photo cookies, we all need to pitch in during these difficult times.&#8221;</td>

<p>I got a cake in the mail today. Life doesn’t get more awesome than that.</p>
<p>It’s from my awesome <a href="http://www.legalandrew.com/2009/03/22/virtual-receptionist-free-for-a-month/">virtual receptionist</a>: Ruby.</p>
<p>When I first signed up with Ruby, they sent me a <a href="http://www.legalandrew.com/2009/03/22/virtual-receptionist-free-for-a-month/">cool mug</a>. When I <a href="http://www.legalandrew.com/2010/03/03/back-with-ruby-virtual-receptionist/">went back to them</a>, I actually wondered if I’d get another mug. Seriously, the mugs are cool.</p>
<p>But they outdid themselves by sending a cake. Not just a plain cake with a computer-printed card inside. It’s a custom cake with a handwritten Ruby note card. Impressive.</p>
<div><img title="Ruby cake" src="http://www.legalandrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ruby_cake_small.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="450" /></div>
<p>Here’s the coolest part: They’re in Oregon. I’m in Virginia. I suppose cakes routinely fly around the country these days, but this country boy is amazed.</p>
<p>We can all learn some client relations lessons from Ruby. They know their stuff. <strong>How would your clients respond if you sent them a cake?</strong> We certainly can’t do that for every client, but it could be a great thank you for a new client who hired you for a big project.</p>

<p> What makes someone more recognizable from all the others who are fighting for the same job? One way to rise above the tide is to follow up an interview with not just a &#8220;thank you&#8221; card but instead an edible photo cookie card. 1-800-Bakery.com has discovered that edible photo items such as <a title="photo cookies" href="http://corporate-gift.1-800-bakery.com/Personal_branding_photo_cookie.html" target="_blank">photo cookies</a>, photo cakes, and photo chocolates can be a valuable &#8220;Personal Branding&#8221; tool. A day or two after an interview send a few photo cookies with your picture on them and a brief message of any choice. After interviewing potentially hundreds of job-seekers the decision maker will recognize the applicant as a person rather than a few sheets of facts and numbers. Now there is a face on your resume.</p>

<p>With the unemployment rate standing at 10% nationally, a legion of job seekers are becoming discouraged. Scores have already given up on their <a title="job search" href="http://corporate-gift.1-800-bakery.com/Personal_branding_photo_cookie.html" target="_blank">job search</a> and the prospects look dim in the near term for many more. Now is the time to take an innovative approach to getting hired. Beyond crafting a compelling resume and cover letter, be clever. The tools people need to distinguish themselves from the competition are out there, they just have to commit to being creative and break new ground in their search methods. One such tool is the use of &#8220;Personal Branding.&#8221; Photo cookies can be a great personal branding tool that will differentiate individuals from the rest of the crowd. “When you brand yourself properly, the competition becomes irrelevant.” says Dan Schawbel, the foremost personal branding expert for Gen-Y. He is the author of the bestselling career book &#8220;Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success (Kaplan, April 2009).</p>
