Customer Thanks

The trees that we ordered for our wedding favors came out perfect and were a big hit! Unfortunately, there were none left over for myself and my husband! We will be ordering some more soon! Thanks!!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how happy we were with our order of trees. Everyone at the bridal shower just loved the trees! It was such a different gift to offer our guests and it will be a gift that is around for years to come!

I wanted to write your foundation to tell you how much of a hit our gift trees were at our May 31, 2008 wedding! Everyone thought it was a very unique favor idea. Every single one of the trees went to a good home and were promptly planted! I was very happy to be able to receive all the trees in excellent condition and to be able to help our environment as well. Just wanted to say thank you for making our special day even more special!!!

We just received our trees and we are delighted! The packaging, the presentation and the simple beauty of the tree itself exceeded our expectations. I know our customers will appreciate the gift and we hope, will be moved to plant their tree and care for it.

Thanks again for your outstanding service in sending us the trees for our wedding. The trees were a huge hit!

I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent customer service in making sure that I was satisfied with my Gift Tree order for my wedding. Customer service was right on top of it and (I) was still able to give all my guests a healthy seedling. Thanks for caring that my day was perfect, and I feel better knowing that there are a few more trees growing in the world with the memory of my wedding day. I would recommend you for anyone looking to do something unique and positive for the Earth on a special occasion.

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know our Amtrak Blue Spruce seedling giveaway event went smoothly and was very well received by all. The seedlings arrived on time and in great condition, with the quality custom labels attached. We received many complements from travelers and staff alike and were happy to tell them we got the seedlings from the Arbor Day Foundation. Thanks to everyone at the foundation for all your help in making our event such a terrific success!

The trees were a BIG hit at the tradeshow. Customers were very impressed with our concern for the environment and the fact that our trees were a tradeshow item that they really wanted!

The Arbor Day Foundation was so generous and pleasant to work with. We received 300 Red Bud tree seedlings for our event with Miller African Centered Elementary School. The children had an exciting, educational and rewarding experience. Over the summer, it has been wonderful watching our tree seedlings grow and form buds. Thank you for making this special day possible.

~ Doubletree Hotel, 2005

Thanks, the trees are wonderful. Our scholars absolutely love them.

We gave 900 Ponderosa Pines away to our employees to promote resource conservation and it was more of a success than we could have ever hoped for. Our employees were thrilled to receive your trees! During the give-away we heard a variety of plans that the employees had for their trees, everything from planting it in their yard with their grandkids to using it as part of a local restoration project they were a member of, to giving it to a local boy scout troop. It was refreshing to see the positive response and excitement over a simple tree.

We would recommend the Arbor Day Foundation's gift trees to anyone! For a company event, we ordered over 1,000 gift trees in different varieties to give to people living all across the country! The process went smoothly from the first phone call to the delivery of the trees, with very little effort from us. They took care of everything, their customer service was awesome, and everyone was pleased with the trees!

~ Accor North America, 2006

I said this before but needed to say it again; I am totally pleased with the service your organization provided. Everybody was pleasant and easy to work with, which made the entire process go smoothly. This past holiday season, we sent saplings to 6,000+ members, many of whom welcomed their tree as a refreshing change from the typical gift. We didn't market it as such, but the tree provided a subtle tie-in to our campaign to convert members to paperless electronic statements. While we can't say for certain, we believe the Gift Tree was a contributing factor to the overwhelming success of that campaign. Thanks for everything!

Handling out 3,000 tree seedlings was a great way to show our community that AT&T Pioneers care about our environment by encouraging the electronic billing and not the cutting of beautiful trees. ...Annually, more than 36,000 trees are saved through the use of AT&T's online services.
