Why You Should Personalize Your Awards

There’s nothing like the feeling that comes with receiving a trophy or an award with your name engraved on it. Here at Woltman Trophies , our trophy creators make it easier than ever to engrave anything you like onto a high-quality trophy. Whether you’re looking for a personalized trophy to recognize a high-performing employee, a kids’ soccer team, or something else, you can be assured that it will mean a lot more to the recipient when it is personally engraved.

Our team has decades of experience making awards and trophies, and we understand the importance of personalization. Here are a few of the reasons why awards should be personalized.

#1 Personalization Makes an Award More Meaningful

Let’s start by comparing two different trophies. The first one is a generic trophy that looks like it could have been purchased at any run of the mill gift shop. The second is a personalized and engraved trophy that contains the recipient’s name and title. Which one would be more satisfying to receive? Of course, engraving a trophy costs a bit more than not engraving, but at the end of the day, if you want your trophy to feel like something special to the recipient, custom engraving is the only way to go.

#2 The Affordability of Custom Engraving

While custom engraving a trophy may sound expensive, here at Woltman Trophies, we make this service affordable and accessible for every budget. Our team understands that when you are hosting an event where you give out awards, the costs can add up even before you add custom trophies. This is why we work with each of our customers on an individual level to make sure that our services are as cost-effective as possible.

#3 Our Custom Engraving Process

At Woltman Trophies, we use state-of-the-art techniques to custom engrave every trophy to make it look as special as possible. We use the latest sandblasting and laser technology to create the crispest and most beautiful results available. With our combination of history in the engraving industry and expertise with new technologies, you can be sure that your custom-engraved message will make the recipient’s eyes shine.

In addition to custom engraving trophies, we can also provide custom engraved messages on plaques, awards, buttons, coins, lapel pins, badges, and more. Our team of engraving experts has the capability of engraving into a variety of different materials, including but not limited to glass, crystal, metal, and acrylic.

#4 Ideas for Custom Engraving

Personalized custom engraving can be used in a large number of contexts. We know that it can be difficult to decide what exactly to engrave on the trophy or award, which is why Woltman Trophies offers templates for different situations, including leadership awards, service awards, athletic prizes, sales achievement awards, academic accomplishment awards, commitment to quality awards, and much more.

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.
