ASSESS THE QUALITY OF YOUR TROPHIES

A trophy is a sign of recognition and is something to be really proud of. Often displayed in places where people can see them, trophies are pieces of art that symbolise happy memories of appreciation. For the remembrance of appreciation to last, the quality of the trophy should not be compromised. Someone who is worthy of recognition deserves a trophy that:

1.     Is of good quality. A trophy that is made out of quality materials will remain void of discoloration and will therefore remain an attractive display piece.

2.     Has proper engraving. A trophy is made for a reason -- for the recipient to be recognised. A beautiful trophy boasts the name of its recipient, conveying the message to everyone that they are worthy of respect and appreciation.

3.     Is durable. Some trophies have cracks and chips, probably due to poor packaging. Some are damaged during shipping and some have loose screws and bolts that cause parts to fall off. This kind of trophy will only make the recipient feel embarrassed about the memorabilia. A good trophy is flawless.

Given the qualities that a trophy should demonstrate, the next fulfilment will be to acquire the best trophy that you can give for that special occasion. To be sure about your decision, you can try to:

1.     Base the material on your budget. Trophies can be made out of different materials. The most expensive materials are the ones that you cannot find just anywhere. The truth is, a good trophy doesn’t have to be made out of the most expensive material -- a good trophy should be beautifully crafted to display quality workmanship.

2.     Get an opinion from your friends.  Ask for the best trophy makers in your neighbourhood. It is sometimes possible to get good quality trophies at a lower price, especially when ordering a number of pieces that can be considered as wholesale.

Equipped with these tips, the next step is to get a sample of the trophy.

WHY DO YOU NEED A SAMPLE OF THE TROPHY?

A sample of a trophy that you intend to have mass produced saves you a lot of time and money because:

1.     You can assess the quality of the trophy. Assessing the quality of a trophy before production starts will save you money. Furthermore, you still have the option of looking for another trophy shop if you are not completely satisfied with the prototype.

2.     You can see how the finished product looks. Knowing what the finished product looks like before it goes under the process of mass production will give you the freedom to make changes to the design, etc.

3.     Correction can be done without spending a lot. A fault in the design, engraving, height, etc. can be initially corrected if a prototype is not in line with your requirements.
