Today is National Handhsake Day (yes, there’s a Day for that)!

We all use handshakes as a way to say hello, good-bye, consummate a deal or congratulate someone. Sometimes, a handshake signals to us what type of person we are meeting. As an elderly gentleman told me numerous times, Shake like a man, not like a fish! (in my defense, I didn’t want to hurt him )

Man or fish, no handshake has the intimacy of a hug. We may not know the ROI of a handshake but we do know the ROI of a hug: priceless.

So this Handhsake Day, go ahead and shake the hands of strangers you meet, but remember to give your loved ones a big, warm hug.

If they’re far away, fring can help you with a virtual hug… a video call with your parents or siblings, or a group hug via our group video with up to 4 of your friends abroad…

And if your loves ones don’t have fring, it’s a great excuse to give them a call to their landline or mobile phone with fringOut. There’s no excuses with fring’s almost free fringOut calls.

So this weekend, get on the phone, call that special someone and give them a virtual hug!
