In recent years, crystal trophies have gained popularity over other award types, with many trophy manufacturers reporting that crystal awards outsell other types by nearly two to one. The beauty and value of a crystal award compared to awards of other materials is what makes these so popular. A crystal award simply looks impressive and expensive. Here are four times when crystal might be the perfect type of award.
1. Recognizing a goal met. Crystal awards look great sitting on an employee’s desk. These make the perfect item for recognizing a top sales person or any employee who just achieved an important goal at work. If you have a sales contest planned for the year, creating a line of awards with your crystal trophy manufacturer or dealer can be a great way to get a cohesive and unique look to the trophies you’ll give out. Each award can be similar in design, yet offer features unique to the particular award.
2. Recognizing Service. Recognizing employees for their years of service with an award at specified milestone anniversaries is a great way to thank an employee for hanging in there with you over the long haul. Consider a crystal award with the number of service years in 3D to create an award with maximum impact.
3. Recognizing Outstanding Performance. These one of a kind awards are designed to recognize work above and beyond the call of duty, or other outstanding achievements. These awards are not usually part of a specific planned program, like a sales contest, which allows you to be more creative and more flexible in designing something that perfectly suits the occasion. Awards with unique crystal designs like a 3D flame or obelisk can be personalize to stand out just as much as the performance you’re recognizing.
4. Recognizing a Project. Has your company’s work been recognized in the community or industry? If so, your crystal trophy manufacturer can create a special trophy that recognizes the project for its unique features, as well as the team that completed the work. Such awards can be very motivational to the project team and also offer a way to highlight your company’s recognized work.
