Choosing Between Medals or Trophies for Your Sports League

When the season ends, we bet that you’ll want to give your players a reminder of the games they’ve played and the good times they’ve had. Whether it’s soccer, football, or another sport, players will love some token of appreciation that shows that their effort mattered. But do you go with medals or trophies?

Here at Woltman Trophies , we think that the answer is obvious. Medals and trophies can both be welcome gifts at the end of a hard-fought season, but we think that trophies actually offer some major advantages over medals. When you shop for custom trophies, you may be shocked at just how many options there are to choose from. Here’s a look at how trophies might be better for your team than medals.

A Variety of Materials to Choose From

One advantage that our sports trophies offer over the typical medals is the choice of many different materials. We have a variety of golf awards available, including ones made from resin and crystal. They can be mounted on a plaque or wall, or they can just serve as a nice accessory on your desk.

If you’re playing another sport, there are also a variety of materials that you can select from to build custom trophies for each of your players. Custom glass awards are available in a number of eye-catching shapes. This material makes for a beautiful trophy that will stand the test of time. Acrylic is another great option. It can be used to make affordable, beautiful football trophies for the entire team, without wrecking your budget. We even have crystal trophy options that have been designed with sports teams in mind. It’s easy to find trophies that suit your budget and show your team that they’re appreciated, while medals just don’t offer the same quantity of options.

So Many Customization Options

If the selection of materials isn’t enough for you, we offer a wide range of customization options to our customers. No matter which material you choose, you’ll find that it’s easy to build custom trophies that your team will treasure for years to come.

Our crystal trophies offer different engraving styles and can come in a number of different shapes and colors. Glass awards are also available in so many shapes and sizes, making it easy to find one that suits your style. Glass also offers its own color options. Acrylic trophies come in a variety of shapes, from stars to diamonds and obelisks. You can also choose from different colors that really make them stand out.

Plus, there are so many different ways to display each trophy, no matter which material you choose. You can mount them on plaques or put them in a stand on a dresser or desk. Custom engravings are also available on most materials, making it easy to give each trophy a personal touch. Medals just don’t offer as many options.

Celebrate Success: Why Corporate Awards Matter

12 Apr, 2024
In today's workplaces, it's crucial to acknowledge and celebrate employees' accomplishments. Doing so isn't just a nice gesture; it's essential for keeping teams motivated and engaged. Let's explore why recognizing corporate achievements is necessary (and how awards stores can help). Fostering Appreciation Recognizing corporate achievements is about creating an environment where employees feel valued for their hard work and dedication. Team members who feel appreciated are more likely to be motivated and committed to their roles. Recognition reinforces positive behaviors and inspires employees to strive for excellence. Boosting Morale and Motivation Acknowledging employees' accomplishments boosts their morale and motivates them to keep up the excellent work. Whether meeting sales targets, finishing a project early, or showing great teamwork, recognizing these achievements makes employees feel proud and appreciated and shows that their contributions matter.

Welcoming in a New Team Member: Do's and Don'ts

12 Jan, 2024
Do you remember the first day of your first job in your industry or even your first job? It's a new environment, team members, and company policies and procedures. A first day is already hard, but it can feel less overwhelming with clear expectations, robust onboarding and training, and a strong welcome from the team. Let's look at some of the do's and don'ts when welcoming a new team member, and how a solid start at the company can lead to increased performance and retention. Do: Provide a Warm Welcome Welcoming a new team member begins with a warm reception. Assign a designated person or team to greet the newcomer on their first day. A friendly welcome sets the tone for a positive experience and helps the new employee feel valued. Orientation and Training A well-structured orientation and training program are fundamental to a successful onboarding process. Communicate company values, expectations, and policies. Equip the new employee with the knowledge and skills necessary for their role, and provide ongoing training. Assign a Mentor Foster a sense of belonging by assigning a mentor or buddy to the new employee. This designated point of contact can guide them through the initial phases, answer questions, and provide insights into the company culture. This personalized support enhances the onboarding experience. Introduce the Team Team integration is crucial for a new employee's sense of belonging. Organize team introductions or welcome events to facilitate connections between the newcomer and their colleagues; this builds professional relationships and creates a positive social atmosphere within the workplace. Feedback and Check-ins Regular check-ins during the initial weeks are essential for gauging the new employee's progress and addressing concerns. Encourage open communication, provide constructive feedback, and create a supportive environment. This ongoing connection helps the new team member feel valued and supported.
