Are your employees Oscar worthy??

The Academy Awards are here again....January 24th to be exact. What an awesome accolade for those in that industry. I am sure it is every actors dream!

Awards are the most retained promotional item. Employees love to receive awards for retirement, years of service, sales milestones, safety milestones. It doesn't always have to be a trophy. It could be a nice watch with engraving on the back. Or perhaps a nice engraved picture frame. Does your company make something special?? Like a valve or nut or anything - we can take that item and customize an award for you!

If you happen to watch Modern Family(a must see in our family for a laugh) there was a recent episode about awards. Mitchell wins an award for distinguished service in the field of environmental law and places it front and center on the mantel because he is so proud. This sparks competition with Cameron who immediately finds an old fishing award and places it next to Mitchell's. It really is funny but it made me really think about awards. My husband who has been active in the rugby community for years has received many awards - some really nice crystal ones and some not so nice gold painted used rugby boots. All are displayed at our house(in his man cave) and running out of room! People love to be thanked and recognized. Of course most awards are not on the level of The Oscar but still have the same meaning - THANK YOU!

One of our favorite suppliers R.S. Owens makes The Oscar. We are proud to call them a supplier and they have filled our award needs nicely also throughout the years!
