Now that 2017 is upon us, many business owners and member of organizations will be looking to get their group or company name out there to generate more buzz and interest in their group for the new year. If you’re looking for a unique way to do that for your respective business or organization, let Signs, Plaques and More help you with our specialty advertising items.
We’ve all been somewhere and suddenly needed a pen but don’t seem to have one on us. That’s where our promotional pens come in. By going around and handing out a bunch of pens with your company on it to not only your employees but other people in the community, you get your name out there for people to see.
Now, not everyone who has the pen will be a customer. However, by having a large amount of pens out in the community, you expose your name to people who might refer a friend or family member to you. Any way you can make your company, group or organization’s name more prominent can result in great benefits.
When people do order services or products from a business or become a member of an organization, a nice way to welcome them is by gifting them a free item. For instance, something like a mug or glass with your business or organization logo on it could go a long way in promoting your group while also showing newcomers that you appreciate them.
Say for instance, a new customer signs up and you send them a free glass or coffee mug. Every time that they use their branded mug, they’re showing off your organization’s logo, helping drive more awareness of your business or group and steering the conversation toward your group. This can help drive word-of-mouth referrals, and as long as you take care of your customers and members, you can benefit from the positive publicity that branded items offer.

One of the best ways to keep employees motivated and on-track is to offer incentive and rewards programs. You might already hand out “Great work” compliments here and there, but as you get ready for 2017, consider upping the bar and setting a new standard at your office.
If you have a family member or friend that just found a new job or got promoted to a new position, celebrate their success with a personalized Christmas gift. You know he or she will be enthusiastic to share their new, shiny business cards with everyone, so help them do so in style with a 
In the beginning of the year, some business set sales goals for their employees, with the winner receiving a bonus or award. Instead of just giving your top team members a gift certificate or piece of paper to recognize them, give them an award they can proudly display on their desk. An award or plaque goes much further than a piece of paper. Not only does a plaque last longer, but it also shows that you truly value what they do day in and day out for the company.
If your family loves to play a few games of football while the turkey finishes roasting, you can create a slew of custom trophies to celebrate the occasion. The youngest cousin of the family can take home the MVP trophy, while the uncle who scored the most touchdowns can take home the “Most Yards Run” plaque to hang back at home. You can make signs for the winning team to take home, or get a trophy that you battle for each Thanksgiving. The winning team gets bragging rights and can display the trophy for the rest of the year – until next November’s rematch, of course! You can even customize the trophies or plaques with your family name.
Work Anniversaries
When a team you’re on or you coach wins a championship or a tournament, there are few better feelings. What better way to commemorate that victory with an award or trophy from Signs, Plaques and More? We have trophies that will be great for any championship- or tournament-winning team that they will be able to cherish forever.
For something that can be displayed on walls, plaques are an impressive and unique alternative to the average trophy. Our laser engraving services can immortalize an individual player’s award or a team’s standing easily and quickly on one of these pieces. For another unique option, we also do engravings on medallions, which give people the option to wear their achievements around their neck – just like the Rio Olympic medalists! If you’re planning on an award ceremony, medals are a perfect option.
Every winter you might find a few dedicated souls out on the golf course, but for the most part, golf is a summer sport. While it’s always fun to go out and play with family or friends, there are also a number of tournaments that lure players out during the summer months, as well.
As we approach the close of the first quarter of the new year, it is important to think about everything that has been accomplished at your company – and how you got there. Of course, the answer is your employees. Your business would not run if it weren’t for the people on the front end and those behind the scenes who help make you successful and keep the doors open day after day. With that being said, it is incredibly important to recognize your employees for their hard work and dedication to your company.
