  2. Give everyone who completes a Customer Service Week puzzle a Scratch Off Card.
  3. Hand out Scratch Off Cards when you “catch” someone giving exceptional service.
  4. Award Scratch Off Cards to the winners of all of your activities and competitions.
  5. Send scratchers home in Customer Service Week Thank You Cards. Then gather for a Zoom call to see who the winners are.
