It was set up by Richard Moross in 2004 under the name \u2018Pleasure Cards\u2019. However, <strong>it suffered a lot of loss because of time, money, and bad branding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/business-of-happiness\/business-of-happiness-moo.jpg\" height=\"399\" width=\"600\" alt=\"Moo.com Office\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text su-image-caption\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"min-height:34px;padding-left:36px;color:#333333\">\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-icon\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:24px;width:24px;height:24px\"><i class=\"sui sui-photo\" style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333333\"><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-content su-u-trim\" style=\"color:#333333\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.eoffice.net\/2013\/03\/moo-com-london-office-space\/\">eoffice<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;height:0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In 2006, Moross came back with a new drive and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappystartupschool.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/13\/moo-who-a-remarkable-startup-story\/\">revamped the business model<\/a>, marketing plan, and called the company Moo. He also replaced the proud \u201cWe\u2019re the new coolest thing!\u201d tagline with a more humble: \u201cHello, we\u2019re just a little printing company. We love to print.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After its renaissance, Moo joined with Wee World, an avatar company, and made \u00a32m! Today, Moo.com works with the likes of Etsy, YouTube, and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moross changed the company\u2019s vision and established a company culture built on happiness<\/strong>.

You operate because of people. This includes customers who pay you and employees who create the things you are paid for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember to loosen the tie<\/strong>. Put aside the boring and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/work-in-progress\/2014\/01\/20\/8-common-causes-of-workplace-demotivation\/\">monotonous aura<\/a> and start redecorating your workplace. Remember that a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tlnt.com\/inspiring-passion-and-purpose-or-happiness-as-a-business-model\/\">happy crew<\/a> means happy clients.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest you start with a few in-office games, then maybe add a free-for-all pantry, and try to mimic the companies we have discussed.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The world is constantly changing, and this thought should push you to try new things. Get weird. <strong>Challenge the status quo and build your own culture<\/strong>. People might see you as deviant or maybe even crazy at first, but remember that people once thought the sun and stars revolved around the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Every business\u2019s cornerstone is the one that everyone lives by. More than a corporate motto, it\u2019s a company way of life. Everybody is expected to follow it, including you. <strong>So if you want to rebuild your culture into the \u2018business of happiness,\u2019 then make sure you live by your words<\/strong>.
