How Can I Create a Custom Trophy Design?

If you’re giving out an award, you want it to stand out. At Woltman Trophies we work with a wide range of materials and make it easy to build custom trophies that you’ll love. Whether you’re coaching a soccer team or trying to boost employee morale, we have the trophy making skills that you require. How do you design the custom trophy you’ve always wanted? We can help.

Have a Budget

Obviously, you need to have a budget in mind. How much can you afford to spend on trophies? This can affect what kinds of materials you can opt for, whether you can go for extras like engravings, or how many custom trophies you can ultimately afford. We guarantee that we’ll be able to help you build some great trophies, no matter what your budget looks like.

Know When You Need Them

Of course, you need to know when you’ll need your trophies by and act accordingly. Whether it’s the end of the football season or a quarterly review, you’ll want to plan in advance and order your trophies beforehand. Sports trophies can’t just be picked up the day of, especially when you’re adding in custom options and choosing the material and shape of the trophy yourself. Plan your trophy purchase early and we’ll be glad to help you through it!

Choose the Material

One of the most important steps is choosing the material. We offer a few different kinds and some might be better for your custom trophy design than others. Sometimes a less expensive material is best, while in other situations you may want a more elegant or eye-catching reward. Let’s take a look at some of our most popular materials.

Acrylic is a great material choice for anyone who wants an elegant award that won’t break the bank. They’re shatter-resistant and available in a number of different shapes and colors. It’s easy to make a custom acrylic award that someone will appreciate.

Glass is a bit more expensive, but it makes for a great corporate award for an employee who has done a great job lately. A glass award is heavier and can be engraved. Our glass awards are also available in a variety of shapes. Crystal is also a more expensive material. Our glass and crystal awards share a lot of similarities, but crystal awards set themselves apart by catching the light in a unique way and creating a beautiful rainbow effect.

Look Into Custom Engravings

Once you’ve selected a material, you’ll want to consider custom engravings. A worker or player will appreciate a custom trophy more, especially if you’re celebrating a big milestone. Most of our materials offer a variety of engraving options and other custom choices to make. The glass trophies, for example, can be laser engraved or sandblasted to build the exact trophy you’re looking for.

If you need custom trophies , come to Woltman Trophies. Whatever budget you’re working with, we’re confident that we can help you make your unique award a reality. Contact us today!

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.
