A good welcome message is a great way to set the tone of your business when first meeting new customers and employees. They can be short, simple greetings that introduce you and your business, or they can be longer, more comprehensive introductions about what your company does. Either way, it’s important to know what type of welcome message you should use to provide the right experience for customers and new hires.

We’ve compiled some good examples of customer-oriented messages from popular businesses like Nike and Uber, as well as employer-focused messages from companies like Yelp and Google. Some are funny; others are heartfelt; all will give a sense of place with just a few words.
Nike
- “Start here. You can do anything. Just Do It.”
- “We are always looking for ideas from our employees. In fact, more than 70% of Nike employees describe themselves as ‘regular inventors’ who come up with new ideas on their own. As an employee, you’ll have the freedom to turn your ideas into reality. At Nike, we don’t feel that our employees work for us – we believe that we work for them. That’s why we ask you to tell us your thoughts about our business. Ask us any question you have and give your honest feedback in anonymous ‘pulse polls.’ We value your opinion, and we want to hear it from time to time.”
- “At Nike, we’re proud of the way we’ve grown a company that believes in the power of inspiration to fuel innovation and invent new possibilities for athletes. We want you to be part of that adventure. We’re excited to have you join us at such an exciting time as Nike is evolving into an ever more integrated sport, lifestyle, and entertainment brand – one that connects our customers with what’s important.”
Nike, Inc. has a very casual office environment with plenty of room to move around. The company has several “hackathons” where employees work on their own ideas without supervision.
Quirky
“Welcome to Quirky! Where good ideas go from the drawing board to embedded in millions of products. We’re a fun and collaborative team that brings Quirky inventions to life to solve everyday problems creatively. We hope you like working here as much as we like building stuff! If you have any questions, please contact our HR representative at …@quirky.com.”
- “We build great things for users, and we hire the best. We recruit ambitious, smart, and creative people to work with us. Offering a great working environment and opportunities to grow with us. At Google, you can work in a calm and friendly (people are generally nice) environment while building products that impact the world in deep and meaningful ways!”
- “At Google, you can work in a calm and friendly environment while building products that impact the world in deep and meaningful ways! We are looking for smart, talented, and creative engineers who want to be part of a unique and collaborative experience. Our engineers work on the leading-edge search and user interface design to build tools that scale on the largest information index ever created. In addition, we have opportunities to work on exciting projects in fields ranging from data mining to energy efficiency.”
- “At Google, you get to work in a place that feels more like a ski chalet than an office. We don’t have assigned seating or walls; we’re big on collaboration and individual contribution, and we think that diversity makes us better at what we do. We encourage our employees to exercise their curiosity by spending 20% of their time working on their own projects — projects like Gmail, Google News, Orkut (Google’s wildly popular social networking site), AdSense for Content, and Google Earth.”
Airbnb
“As an Airbnb Host, you’ll join a unique community of people who have come together to experience the authentic warmth of other cultures through unforgettable travel experiences. Our hosts are some of the friendliest people globally, but that is not all they are good at. They have mastered the art of hosting, and many have become local experts in their city. Airbnb is a great home-sharing network for people who want to share their lives and make the world more open and connected.”
Zappos
“We are a fun, fast-paced company dedicated to delivering WOW through service. We offer excellent benefits, competitive compensation, a great environment, and opportunity for growth. If you don’t think customer service is important, then Zappos may not be the right place for you.”
Uber
- “We’re changing transportation around the world by providing reliable rides in minutes at the tap of a button. To do it, we need to be driven, customer-obsessed people on our team.”
- “Uber is an on-demand transportation company that partners with local drivers to get people around their cities quickly and efficiently. We are on a mission to make transportation as reliable as running water—everywhere, for everyone. And we are just getting started.”
Yelp
- “We’re a small company with big ambitions: to connect people with great local businesses. To do that, we hire the smartest people and provide a workplace where they can thrive. At Yelp, we’re lucky to have folks who are passionate about the business and community of places they serve.”
- “At Yelp, we believe that people deserve to know what businesses are doing well, what needs improvement, and that’s not right. We provide an intelligent platform where the best reviewers share information about local businesses with their community of readers. Our reviews help consumers and businesses make better decisions about where to eat out or spend their money.”
Etsy
“We are a global community that is changing the way the world makes things. Through our online marketplace for creative goods and services, millions of people are coming together to share inspiration and build a more beautiful world — one handmade item at a time.”
Summary
I hope you enjoy the list and try to build something out of it; if you do, that is fantastic; if not, don’t worry too much about it because whether or not you are successful is not the point; it’s just a trade-off. The point is to learn and be true to yourself and what is meant for you by your own journey. Even if the ultimate dream becomes unsolvable and impossible, it’ll give you the experience of seeing what becomes possible in a world that doesn’t judge your efforts but encourages them instead.
