Can you believe

it has been six days already since I have last posted. This days post will be a short plug on what I think is a good idea. I try to play golf. The emphasis on that last sentence was try. I am not very successful but I don't have the time or money to put into furthering my skills. Enter the internet. The internet, and more specifically youtube, has created an avenue for golf tips in video form to find an audience and create the opportunity to help people like me. If you are like me and don't feel like searching through all the garbage on youtube , you can visit foregolftips.com , a website dedicated to enhancing the golf skills of novice golfers through online training tips. After watching these and signing up for yahoos fantasy golf league , you may even fantasize about going pro. Well once your wife snaps you back to reality, you can rest assured that you will be able to find your fantasy trophies at Bux-Mont Awards , even if you can never get the real thing, these troph

So we have a couple retail stores tucked away in some beautiful corners of the South Eastern Pennsylvania Counties of Bucks and Montgomery Counties. There are some nice parts of Pennsylvania, for those of you who don't get out this way much. We are a friendly sort of people that genuinely care and want to help each other get along. Though once again I got off track slightly I have not forgotten the reason I am here. Store hours are as follows: Sellersville Monday: 8:30 - 5:00 Tuesday: 8:30 - 5:00 Wednesday: 11:00 - 5:00 Thursday: 8:30 - 7:00 Friday: 8:30 - 7:00 Saturday: 9:00 - 1:00 Sunday: CLOSED Harleysville Monday: 12:00 - 6:00 Tuesday: CLOSED Wednesday: 12:00 - 6:00 Thursday: 8:30 - 7:00 Friday: 8:30 - 7:00 Saturday: 9:00 - 1:00 Sunday: CLOSED don't think that because we are closed on a Tuesday and open at twelve Mondays and Wednesdays in Harleysville that we aren't working.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I would like to take this time to wish my father, the owner of Bux-Mont Awards , a very happy birthday. He is 55 years young today and though he maybe starting to show his age slightly still acts as young as the day I met him 26 years ago. (sorry dad, just joshin, don't be mad) He is a well accomplished man and one that I look up to in oh so many ways. The reigning Sellersville citizen of the year started Bux-Mont Awards out his basement with little more than an idea and turned it into a successful business 16 years later with two thriving locations and a growing web presence that helps his customers succeed in properly recognizing achievements. I can only hope to accomplish as much in my life as my dad did in his first 30 years on this planet, and he one of the few genuinely honest, caring, and sincere people I have had the joy of sharing this life with, and on top of that I get to have him as my dad. So I hope that he had a happy birthday, and I hope that everyone who has n

Wowsers

I cannot believe the week got away from me like it did. I am still going to post all that great stuff, just not right yet! Sorry everyone. I would, in the meantime, like to tell you about an upcoming update to our website. We have this special process available to us, a digital imprinting process, that we utilize in our plaques and other awards to bring our customers a unique option for their awards and recognition products. This digital imprinting allows us to provide you, our customers, with full color imprinting on your awards at less of a cost than engraving. It doesn't look as high class, which is bad, but it does portray your brand colors, which is good. I will be working hard to put these award samples and pricing online in short time. Hopefully tomorrow, but there is a chance that I may get busy and not be able to get it done by tomorrow, rest assured it is coming soon. The problem I have when trying to put these awards online is I do not have a shopping cart set up so

High School Sports Line

Scholar Athelete and MVP Plaques This post is to highlight a line we are rolling out for the high school sports teams. The recognition piece is a plaque. We use the traditional plaque and couple it with a digitally imprinted full color plate that showcases the schools logo and the award name. Presenting these at your banquet helps your school properly recognize achievements and keeps your children on the path towards positive growth. People sometimes do not like to change their recognition program because it's what they have been doing for some time or it's always what they have had, but these plaques have only become feasible in recent months. Save yourself money and give kids a new updated award that serves it's purpose. Prices as low as 7.50 for the smallest size and 17.50 for 7 x 9's Only available in stores. Some art charges may apply. Mention this blog for special pricing.

Monday Youth Sports Banquet Tips

The youth sports banquet is often times the last chance a team has to get together at the end of the season. When done properly end of season banquets reinforce the overall goals of youth sports organizations. Things like hard work, team work, effort, practice, and leadership are all reinforced here. Most importantly though kids learn that the team they practiced and built bonds with throughout the course of the s eason really helped them to learn to have fun, win or lose, and to also try to get better each and every day. Learning that nothing comes easy is a tough lesson that can be made easier through participation in youth sports, and the year end banquet can help reinforce the good times and the benefits of the struggle and growth throughout the year. A great way to help ensure your banquet is successful is to have a coach or team mom come up and say some words about something special that happened to the team throughout the season.

Bux-Mont Awards Harleysville has new hours

News and Information To better serve you, we have altered our hours to include some earlier hours. As some of you may or may not know, Bux-Mont Awards is a small awards and recognition company owned and operated by original owner Greg Bencsik. In addition to Bencsik the two other full time employees are split between their Sellersville and Harleysville retail stores with another two part time employees that work at our Sellersville location. The bulk of our product lines are manufactured or produced in our Sellersville store. Bencsiks son Daniel (thats me) has been working mornings in Sellersville and commuting in the afternoon over to the Harleysville store. This created a problem. I would often get tied up helping out in our production needs and working with helping customers in Sellersville and it was hard for me to get over to Harleysville on time to open. We hope we have found a solution to solve this problem and we welcome feedback and any thoughts on how we can help be
