Acrylic Awards Versus Crystal Awards

Acrylic Awards or Crystal Awards?
 
Many customers ask me about my preference when
given the options of Acrylic versus Crystal Awards.
I don't have a simple formulaic answer
to this question, yet my answer is largely
dependent on the overall scope of the project. 
Most companies have a specific budget
allowance for their project. I like to ask some
of the following questions:

How many awards will you need?
Who is going to receive these awards? 
What is your budget per award?
What is your time frame?
Where are these items going to be displayed?

I understand that award buyers want a
return on their investment…it's the American Way.
One way to achieve this goal is to
carefully consider the above questions.
We want your recipients to be proud
of their recognition item and to
keep it on display.  This keeps your name
favorably on their mind and builds
reciprocity in your relationship. 

Let's hypothetically observe an awards
opportunity…a customer needs 25 awards
that are going to their top twenty-five customers.
They have a $35.00 to $50.00 budget and they
have 3-weeks prior to presenting these items.
This customer hopes that the award will be
displayed in the reception area
of their recipients business.
For a project like this one of my
recommendations would be our Elliptical Vase series.
This vase would allow our customer to present
an affordable award that would look great
in almost any reception area.  It also can be
used as a standard vase with dried or cut flowers,
hard candies, or chocolate pieces. 

I would also suggest that we insert a signed card
or letter with the vase to further verbalize
your gratitude to your customers. 
Now then, if the scope of this project changed
and the recipient's scenario included children
in the reception area, then an acrylic award or
Lucite award would be a safer suggestion because
it will not shatter like glass and crystal. 
Perhaps the Acrylic Beveled Rectangle or
the colorful Crimson Series would be a better choice. 
Each situation is different and the answer
for each customer is not the same.

The more you communicate with our staff the
specifics of your project, the better we can
suggest an award which will best
fulfill and satisfy your goals.
One of my favorite questions around here is,
"What is your project?"
Our customer service team does not consist
of ridged order takers.  Rather, our team will
work with you, get to know the specifics
of your project, and then make suggestion
to best fit your unique situation.
Some customers don't want or require any help,
and that's fine too.  But, we recognize our job
is to assist our customers in their
decisions and not just generate work-orders.
In summary, I think the best return on awards
investment requires some thought and consideration. 
As a company, I think we really excel at helping
our customers ask these difficult questions and
then make suggestions so that our customers'
recipients are very well pleased. 

Often times our customer has an idea of what
they want but change their minds when the
hear of the many options we offer.
