Did you ever experience an awards ceremony as a kid? Perhaps you were on a soccer team when you were seven years old and received a trophy at the end of the season. You probably did not think about where the trophy came from or who supplied it, and you probably will not ever think about it until you become the parent in charge of purchasing the trophies!
If you find yourself having to visit an awards shop for the first time, you will probably develop several questions you need to be answered before making your purchase. Viking Trophies, a well-known trophy shop in Brooklyn Park, MN, is here to answer a few frequently asked customer questions below.
How Do I Know Whether to Give a Trophy or an Award?
There is a difference in the type of occasions that elicit trophies versus awards. Trophies are generally given to an individual or team when they have won a short-term contest. A contest generally refers to an event with a competitive environment and high stakes win. Awards, on the other hand, are not typically given out after a particular “win” or a specified, single accomplishment. They are generally given to an individual or group of individuals to represent their long-term, consistent hard work and commitment to a large goal. Awards represent a positive set of actions that occurred over a long period.
What is a Trophy Made Out of?
It is easy to assume that trophies are made from shiny metal because they all have that iconic metallic shine. However, that shine typically comes from hot-stamped metallic foils that get compressed into the trophy. Trophies are almost entirely plastic. The one other material that you will likely find inside the trophy is metal studs. These are embedded into the base of the trophy to provide stability for the structure. Finally, we cannot forget about one of the most important elements of a trophy: the engraving. Because we specialize in trophy engraving in Brooklyn Park, MN, when you visit Viking Trophies, we can make your trophy say anything you want!
How Long Will It Take to Receive an Order?
Typically, our production time is between seven and ten days. If you purchase a large order, it may take a bit longer for us to complete. Also, note that custom apparel will take around 10 to 15 days to produce. If you need your items in a hurry for an event, we will do everything we can to work with you to meet your needs!
We hope these answers help you better navigate the world of trophies, awards, and promotional items. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to give us a call today or send us an email.
