What is a team appreciation song?

An original song written and produced for one specific team, with their names, their shift, their in-jokes and the work they actually do in the lyrics. It is used for staff appreciation, a farewell, a retirement, or a milestone, and the team keeps the recording.

How much does a custom song for a work team cost?

$19.99 per song, delivered by email within 24 hours, with no subscription. If you want a song for each person on a small team, the six-song album is $100.

Can you use everyone's name on the team?

Yes, within reason. Names are the part people react to, so it is worth listing them with the pronunciation for anything unusual. For a large department it works better to name a few people and write the rest as the team.

What do you need from us to write it?

The team name and the names to include, what they actually do all day, one or two things only they would find funny, the occasion, and the kind of music they would enjoy. Specifics beat adjectives every time.

Team Appreciation

A song for your team, with their names in it

Most workplace thank-yous get read once and thrown out. A song gets played at the meeting, sent around the group chat, and kept. We write an original one for your team: their names, their shift, the work they actually do.

Worked example

Welcome to the Club

Written for the front desk staff at a gym in Midtown, Houston. The people who learn every member's name and greet them at six in the morning. Play it in full, then read how it was put together.

What people order it for

Employee appreciation for the whole staff Staff appreciation week, the end of a hard quarter, or the anniversary of the branch opening. A coworker leaving Better than a card everyone signs in the break room and nobody reads twice. A boss retiring Thirty years of a person's working life, in one song the whole room hears at once. A coworker's birthday For the team that already does a cake and wants something they will actually remember. Teacher appreciation week From one class, one grade level, or the whole PTA.

What makes a team song land

Specifics. A song about how great everyone is could be about any workplace anywhere.

Their names. This is the part people react to. List them, and flag anything easy to mispronounce.
What they actually do. The opening shift, the phone that never stops, the spreadsheet nobody else understands.
One in-joke. The thing only that team would find funny. It is the line they will replay.
The occasion. A farewell and an appreciation song do not sound the same.
The music they like. Their taste, not the company's taste.

Questions

How many names can you fit in one song?

For a team of about eight or fewer, everyone can be named. Past that it works better to name a few people and write the rest as the team, otherwise the song turns into a list. For a small team where everyone should get their own, the six-song album is the better fit.

Can we use it in a company video or on social?

Yes. You get the finished MP3 and you can use it internally, in a recap video, or on your own channels. If you need something written for advertising rather than for the team, email hello@soundcard.ai and we will scope it.

Where would we actually play it?

The holiday party, the all-hands, a work anniversary, a grand opening, or over the speakers during a shift. Some businesses put it on a sticker or a card with a QR code so staff and customers can scan and play it on the spot.

Can we use our own catchphrase?

Yes, and you should. The strongest hook is usually something the team already says without thinking about it. That is exactly what happened on the song above.

What if the song is not right?

Tell us what missed and we will rework it. Getting a name wrong in a song meant to thank someone is the one mistake worth fixing properly.

Can we keep it a surprise?

Yes, and most people do. Everything arrives in your inbox, so nothing reaches the team until you play it.
