The Reasons You Should Engrave Your Custom Trophies

Here at Woltman Trophies, we make it easy to purchase any kind of award that you can think of. From trophies for your kid’s soccer team to corporate awards that recognize the hard work of your employees, we’ve got you covered. You have some decisions to make when you’re shopping around for custom trophies though, and we’re not just talking about choosing between different materials like crystal or glass. You also have to decide whether or not you want your trophies engraved.

How do you know if custom engravings are worth it? Here’s a look at some of the factors you should consider when you’re shopping around for trophies and awards.

The Cost

When you’re in the market for sports trophies or corporate awards, cost will naturally end up being a big consideration. Customizing trophies must cost a bunch of money, right? You may be thinking that a simple award without its own special touches must cost less. Getting a bunch of engraved soccer trophies could really break the bank.

Fortunately, that’s just not true here at Woltman Trophies! For many of our custom trophies and plaques, you won’t pay any extra money for an engraving or etching. That means you can deliver a custom reward to an employee or player that really shows them how much you value them, without wrecking your budget. For some materials there is a “setup fee,” but it’s always reflected in the item pricing and never a surprise cost. Plus, this fee only applies once to a group of similar items. If you’re ordering many trophies, you most likely won’t have to pay multiple setup fees.

Production and Shipping Time

In most cases, our production time is around five working days. Larger orders or customized pieces can take longer, but not by that much! We always tell our customers how long an order will take. Just give us your event date and we’ll do our best to deliver your sports trophies or awards before that date. Long story short, you don’t need to worry that a custom engraving will dramatically affect the delivery and production time for your trophies.

Our Services

Of course, you also need to know what kind of engraving services a trophy maker has to offer. Fortunately, we can create custom trophies of all kinds using a variety of materials. We’ll engrave messages on a plaque, a trophy, or even something like a badge or button. We use the latest technology to ensure a clean, attractive engraving that will make your trophy really stand out.

Naturally we can work with a wide range of materials as well. Whether you’re looking for a glass, crystal, or metal award there’s no one better to engrave it. The sheer number of our engraving options is hard to beat. We can even engrave a plaque or award that already has an engraving, keeping its look uniform through new additions in the years to come.

At Woltman Trophies, we’ll find the perfect message to show a player or employee that they are appreciated. So when you ask if you should get your custom trophy engraved, our answer is yes.

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.

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.
