Businesses have become increasingly aware of the benefits that come from giving official recognition to the efforts of their best employees, teams, and departments. Awards ceremonies have become a commonplace affair, especially during the end of year period. It is a great way to close out the year on a high note and give motivation during the incoming year for even better performance.
There is however no set design for corporate trophies. The companies have to work with providers to develop suitable designs and have the awards customized. Here are a few tips that can help guide these tailored designs.
Match Values and Importance
When choosing the design of corporate plaques and trophies, you need to ensure it matches up to whatever recognition you are conveying and the values of the business. For instance, if the business operates more casually and playfully, more liberties can be taken with the design. Staider organizations will call for simple somber designs. Also, consider the sizing. Larger sized awards should be for the most important recognition like to entire departments or best overall employee.
Quality Over Cost
Try to fix a reasonable budget for your corporate trophies. You need to ensure good quality materials, design and workmanship go into creating them. Depending on the number of awards, this may call for a significant outlay. But not skimp. More so if the awards are going to be publicly displayed or there will be widespread publicity on the event you do not want your clients or partners to think you are being cheap.
Accommodate Inscription
Getting corporate plaques and trophies inscribed should be a must. This will make it clear what the award is for and the name of the recipient. Recipients are always better pleased when they see their name clearly indicated on the ward, rather than just the category they won in. it makes it more of a pleasure for them to display something that is authentically designated to them.
Branding
While recognizing the recipient, you can also take this opportunity to make your brand stand out. This can be easily done by having the company logo or name also inscribed somewhere on the award. If the company tag-line is appropriate and short enough, this too can be added. But do not make this more prominent than the name of the recipient.
Display
Ensure that the recipients can easily display their awards. Whether it is at home or in the office, the award has fixtures that make it easy to stand on display. You can ensure it has a solid level base, an easel stand, or even a hanging hook at the back if to be displayed on the wall.
