However, what happens once the euphoria of the competition or event fades away. The medal, trophy, or plaque may be initially displayed in the house for some time, but very soon it is consigned to the back of a drawer or closet. Even pins and key chains are soon thrown away during spring cleaning.

So, what is it that will make the rewarded truly treasure the award or recognition product for years to come? Why will they choose to cherish the item as much as the memory of the same? How can a trophy or plaque occupy a place of pride on the mantelpiece or even earn a special display case for itself? What will make a winner lovingly dust and preserve the award forever?

Regular and off the rack recognition products can never garner much value for the recipient. What truly makes participants feel happy and winners jubilant is a customized piece that perfectly captures the memory of the event.

The fact of the matter is that customized items show that the event organizer or sponsor has actually spared the time and effort to make it memorable and important.

However, organizers and leaders need not recoil in horror at the daunting prospect of creating and ordering custom or personalized awards and other recognition products.
