You Asked and We Answered! New Trophies and Award Verses Are Here!

As you read in Laura's post a few days ago, we've just launched more than 30 new trophies! We have an all-new class of Elite Jade Trophies , beautiful crystal awards , and a great set of hand-picked sports trophies .

As a writer, I have to say that I'm even more excited about the new titles and verses that are on these bad boys! (Plus, I wrote them. So, you know, I think they're pretty great...)

The goal of bringing these eight new award titles and verses was to give you even more variety in your award choices. With new titles, like Visionary Award, Rising Star, and Peak Performer, plus coordinating verses that tell the story of these great moments, you'll have no shortage of ways to celebrate achievements!

Hit the Mark with Your Next Award Presentation

Award presentations are a common occurrence in the working world. We recognize behaviors we want to see repeated, so we often present awards to honor years of service, accomplishments, and outstanding performances.

When you make an award presentation, you want the employee to feel appreciated, valued, and hopefully reinforce their commitment to the organization. Make sure your award presentation has the desired effect with careful planning. We’ve distilled the most important elements of a successful award presentation into the following four tips:

Set the Stage
You can enhance the effectiveness of your award presentation by setting the stage. Consider your location and the setting. Does it reinforce the prestige and importance of the award? If not, change locations or make a few enhancements. You can easily improve an award presentation setting with balloons, signs, and decorations in the theme of the award.

Select an Award
The physical award you present to the recipient should be appropriate for the honor. Select your award item carefully and have a second person proofread your engraving. An award with a typo or misspelled recipient name will not achieve your desired result. Finally, before the award presentation, review the item one final time. Make sure it looks great and wipe off any fingerprints.

Prepare Your Remarks
What you say in an award presentation is more important than the award item. Your remarks will have an important impact on how the recipient feels. When you prepare and practice your remarks, you’re more likely to make the recipient feel unique, special, and valued.

Invite an Audience
Great achievements deserve public praise! Get the entire team involved in your award presentation. You can invite teammates to simply watch the presentation or give them a role. For instance, ask a few individuals to share their own stories about the award recipient to make the presentation even more special.

An award presentation isn’t something you should whip up in a few minutes. With careful planning, you can make your award recipient feel like a star!
