- When will the awards be presented for instance, at the annual company dinner or once a month at the monthly meeting?
- Will you only hand out such awards at a special prize giving occasion?
- What do you want the award to represent?

Long gone are the days of using medals only in the military, academic, and sport fields to reward outstanding performance. The same pride that is associated with being properly recognized in any of the above fields is present in the corporate world when medals are received for outstanding work.
Most companies simply rely on certificates and a cash bonus to reward employees. What about medals as rewards? Just think about it – everyone gives a watch after five or ten year’s service, but what about a medal that can be hanged on someone’s wall showing that their loyalty and hard work do count? What about the sales person of the year or the person rewarded for outstanding customer service?
Give unique medals which are available right here and which can be customized to include your company logo or the specific department together with the achievement.

How to select promotional gifts

Promotional gifts are effective tools for branding, establishing excellent customer relations, building trust and showing appreciation. Many companies however, fail to reap the full benefits of using promotional gifts for marketing purposes, simply because they have selected the wrong type of items.
The secret to selecting promotional gifts is in the functionality of the items. Pens, whisky decanters with glasses, coffee mugs, folders, snaps sets, and crystal water jugs with glasses make excellent gifts for the simple reason that the items will be useful and thus not packed away.
Quality is also a key ingredient and when your company uses promotional gifts for any of the above reasons, then make sure you select items of quality as available from us.

Schools, universities, companies big and small as well as military institutions still give out plaques as rewards for the simple reason that people want to receive recognition for their hard work.
Whether on the golf course, as a hockey team, as the best estate agent of the company, top salesman, highest academic achiever or chess player, people want more than certificates, book prizes and cash. They want plaques where their names are displayed and as such plaques will always be appreciated by teams, departments, kids, soldiers, athletes, and employees alike.
Rather than giving only a bonus – give something that can be kept for years and displayed with pride. Invest in plaques as awards. Visit our section on trophies and plaques for an overview of the various designs and materials available.

The golf trophy is more than just an award for outstanding sportsmanship. It has long been tradition to award top players for their skills and commitment to the sport through the golf trophy. Most of the famous golf trophies come from the 1970’s onwards.
The first extremely important golf trophy was given out in America as far back as 1937. The PGA was the founder of the golf trophy with the Vardon Golf Trophy which is the oldest and most prestigious golf award.
Golf clubs, companies and event organizers can provide the same prestige to their events by investing in a quality crystal or metal golf trophy made according to their requirements. View our range of sport trophies or contact us for a custom order.
