Imagine I sent you a fruit basket for writing a brilliant comment.
How would you react? Happy?
You might mention it to others. You would write more brilliant comments. You would feel appreciated, it's a great feeling.
What if I paid $20 into your PayPal account?
It's just become work.
How much will you charge next time? Will you work less if you don't get paid? Will others now want to be paid?
Money makes communities implode. So send flowers, fruit baskets, chocolates and invitations to special events. Surprise gifts bring out the best in people, money brings out the worst.
Note. Read Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational - It's a brilliant book and tests this theory beautifully.
I was happy to see that the opinion of this author is that a fruit basket is more valuable than receiving money. Fruit gift baskets are perfect for birthdays, get well, or holidays, delighting all your recipient’s senses, from appearance and aroma to sound and taste. Nothing makes as dramatic a statement of how much you care then sending a fruit gift basket overflowing with large, unblemished, ripe fruit, complimented with award winning wines, gourmet cheeses, and irresistible chocolate covered dried fruits and nuts.
