Cat got your tongue? No problem! If you’re looking for a way to show your staff, team, or customers that you recognise their excellence, commitment and passion, we’re here to help. No matter who you are, or whom the recipient is, there are five key questions to ask:
Who is being recognised?
(What is their name, and/or title?)
What are they being recognised for?
(Is it a specific event, or milestone?)
Where do they work/operate? Or who is sponsoring the award?
(Is it a company, or a specific person?)
When is the timeframe?
(A month, year, decade? Lifetime?)
Why are they being recognised?
(Reason of award, What makes them special?)
By asking and answering these questions, we can help you tailor an award that allows you to express your appreciation to the recipient through a lasting gift.
These are the key bits of information you will want to think about including. Once these are decided you can look into additional elements such as quotes, signatures and logos. Things like images or other design elements can also be added to align with brand values or make the trophy or plaque more aesthetically pleasing.
Below are a few examples to help you think about the presentation of your award:
