All eyes are on the awards … it’s your moment to shine so how do you choose the right awards for your event? This is a question we regularly get asked. There are so many award options, suppliers and design techniques it can be very confusing!
Here are our top tips to help you get it right :-
- Choosing the right supplier.
This is the absolute key to your success. Always work with a reputable company. Not all suppliers are the same in terms of quality of product and engraving, creativity of design and presentation gift boxes. You have to trust your supplier to make delivery when it really matters.
Here at Laser Crystal we want to build long term relationships with our clients.
In our 25 years as the UK’s leading awards supplier we have seen some shocking quality products and have stepped in a number of times to help when other suppliers have failed to deliver for events. My advice here is that price shouldn’t be the only factor driving in your choice – there is always a trade off with quality and service! - Consider the Event Theme
Always match your awards to the event theme. So that might include using the event branding or colours on the awards so they work hand in hand. For example if you’re holding a casino night we could engrave 3d casino chips with your logo or message within the award. It’s great fun creating ideas that take awards to the next level. - Choose the right award shape
Make sure you choose the right shape for the event. For example a corporate event suits a more minimalist shape whilst creative industries work for more modern artistic shapes. Budget also plays a key factor here but it’s our job to make his work for you. - The Design
If you’re looking for extra special awards the design makes or breaks these. Anyone can typeset your text but if you want creativity you need to work with an award designer.
There are a wide range of award and trophy decoration techniques available for creating extra special crystal engraved trophies and gifts. Recent advances in technology have delivered some amazing innovative new ways to create distinctly unique corporate awards and business gifts. Consider combining different award design techniques such as 3D laser engraving, colour print, frosting or embossing to bring your awards to life. We have a highly experienced in-house design team who offer FREE design visuals. Our photo realistic visuals allow you to order with confidence– so you can see exactly how the finished awards will look before they’re even made!! - Personalisation
Everyone loves to see their name in lights – so always make sure you add winner names to the awards where possible. It really makes every award extra special to the recipient.
