1. “How much is one trophy?”
2. “Can I buy a crystal award?”
3. “Do you do acrylic trophies?”
4. “You can deliver trophies?”
5. “Are you customizing mementoes?”
6. “Can you share trophy designs?”
7. “How can I order metal trophies?”
The list is long…
These all are open ended question lines, that beg a follow-up questions like:
1. “What type of trophy are you ordering?”
2. “How many pieces of crystal awards do you need?”
3. “Do you have the size or dimension of the acrylic trophy you are asking for?”
4. “Do you require customized trophies to be delivered to your location?”
5. “Do you have the design for us to customize your mementoes?”
6. “What is your budget for the trophies you are searching for?”
7. This is the best way on the list so far which we will be discussing and elaborating in this blog. “How can I order metal trophies?” We’ll come back to it shortly.
With no exemption, we all always rush things unconsciously.
Whether in department stores, supermarkets and restaurants among the popular places that most of us frequent. We tend to ask generic questions instead of specific ones.
I.e.
a. Where can I find shoes?
b. Which floor are your appliances?
c. Which section is the fresh goods?
d. Where can I order desserts?
e. Do you have juice?
f. Can I order soup?
g. Do you offer reservations?
You are absolutely right, in saying, “none of these, is a wrong question or way of questioning.”
While that is absolutely true, yet again it begs a follow-up question, respectively:
a. What type of shoes are you looking for? Is it for children, men or women?
b. Are you looking for electric appliances or small appliances or big sizes?
c. Do you need fresh fruits and vegetables? Or meat and eggs?
d. What type of dessert do you wish to order? Pastries or cakes?
e. Would you like to order Orange juice? Pineapple juice? Or what type of juice do you have in mind?
f. We have corn soup, chicken soup, vegetable soup, or what kind of soup you want to order?
g. Yes, we do offer reservations. But, what type of reservation do you wish to make? Is it for a single table? A long table? A function hall? Or the entire floor?
As annoying as it may appear by now, but this is the reality of the matter.
Okay, enough of explaining and examples. Let’s get back to the main subject of this blog.
Top 7 Simple Steps When Inquiring Or Ordering Trophies And Awards (That Save You A Lot Of Time And Effort)
1. Deadline
2. Budget
3. Quantity
4. Design
5. Size
6. Material &
7. Location
Why such a long list needed in simply ordering a trophy, award, plaque, memento, gift or giveaways? You might ask. We’ll you just provided the answer to the above mentioned examples (if not dilemmas). When ordering or even just inquiring for any type of crystal trophy, acrylic award, wooden plaque, 3d printed memento, gifts and giveaways made of metal, having the most amount of details available or ready is key.
In random order, each item is equally important whether it is on top of the list or bottom. Depending on the nature of the event or purpose of the trophy or award.
Item number 6 and 7 may not necessarily matter in most cases. But, wait! When your deadline does not conform to your location or material, your trophy shop or trophy supplier will certainly raise their eyebrows.
Allow us to elaborate.
Say, 1) in a situation where you are on a very tight deadline. But your event will be held across the globe. 2) or basically no time left, yet you insist on customizing with different materials from crystal, acrylic, and metal; plus wooden box with brush metallic finish. These are only two (2) real scenarios that may just turn down your trophy shop near me and you in accepting your order, if such is the demand contrary to some key elements — delivery and materials.
In hindsight, when ordering an award from a trophy shop in Dubai, UAE to have it shipped to Singapore, with only three (3) days left is not only not practical, but appears impossible. Right?
Well, there’s always exemption to the rule.
Design.
Should it not be customized, readily available designs that are off-the-shelf can be substituted.
Finally, this is where our Top 7 Simple Steps play a very crucial role. The list can be long though, if we are to include the nitty gritty of things, like thickness, gaps, angles, texture, finishing, engraving or printing, boxes, add-ons & etc.
1. Deadline refers to the time and date the crystal trophy will be used or is needed.
2. Budget is the price range you have allocated for the acrylic award; either per piece or entire quantity.
3. Quantity is the price range you have allocated for the acrylic award; either per piece or entire quantity.
4. Design points to the appearance or look of the wooden plaque.
5. Size can come in mm, cm or inches for the dimensions your 3D printed memento be made.
6. Material may include crystal, acrylic, wood, metal, and resin among the widely used on awards and trophies all over the world.
& 7. Location is more often where the customised trophies or bespoke awards will be given, may also be the venue of the event.
With a handful of these details handy, without a doubt you will never go wrong. Moreover, you are even a sure foolproof from scammers who might wish to rip you off on prices and hidden charges.
